Overview
- The Senate’s Agreements Committee, which voted Thursday, issued a favorable report on former senator Lucila Crexell’s nomination to Ottawa.
- La Libertad Avanza, the UCR, the PRO, Convicción Federal, Provincias Unidas and Frente de la Concordia Social signed on, giving the file the votes to advance.
- Peronist senators said the post is a payment for her decisive support of the 2024 Bases law, which passed the Senate after a 36–36 tie.
- Crexell denied wrongdoing and cited Judge Daniel Rafecas’s order to archive related complaints, saying she acted according to her principles.
- Her nomination now heads to the full Senate as a likely confirmation, the Canada post is currently held by Josefina Martinez Gramuglia, and Crexell flagged energy and nuclear ties as priorities.
