Far-right drives US into partial government shutdown

global fears increased unmanageability in some United States of America radically polarized and ultra wing Republican Party He gained excessive power, They continue to prove that it is established. Except for a last-minute political miracle that almost no one expected. The country will be without a functioning federal budget from the first minute of this Sundaydesigned for a purpose Partial government shutdown coming soon.

Starting next week hundreds of thousands of federal workers there will be positions forced evacuation or, as in the case of members of the armed forces, They continue to work without knowing when they will get paid your next salary. Many institutions will see their operations affected and citizens will suffer. Disruptions in various public servicesIncluding nearly seven million women and children receiving food aid. And no one has any predictions about when a solution will arrive. HE last partial shutdown Within the scope of the government donald trumpit was the longest 21 units produced since 1976 and it’s hard 34 days.

Anticipated seizure

This rise has been expected for a long time. In January, Kevin McCarthy had to make significant concessions to right-wing extremists in order to be elected speaker of the House of Representatives after a humiliating and agonizing process. In June, he managed to rally factions of the Republican Party to approve, at the extreme end, a deal reached with the White House that raised the debt ceiling and prevented the United States from going into default for the first time in its history. Cuts and restrictions on spending.

However, when it comes to putting this agreement into practice, Radicals rebel against McCarthy, in an act of political defiance that threatens to not be the last. And when the ‘speaker’ puts to the vote this Friday an interim resolution that will guarantee the government the operating budget for only 30 days while negotiations continue. 21 Republicans He joined the Democrats (with his slim majority, 17 more votes than the four he could afford to lose); He rejected the offer because it included severe cuts of almost 30% in government programs and no military or economic aid to Ukraine. It mandates the reactivation of “all activities related to the construction of the border wall” with Mexico.

The decision also There is no chance of approval in the SenateIt is controlled by Democrats. His failure weakens McCarthy to negotiate with the Upper House, where the two sides have agreed to a proposal that would provide funding for six weeks and include $6 billion for Ukraine and $6 billion for national aid for domestic disasters. Its approval is guaranteed in the vote scheduled for Saturday.

In any case, deadlines Confirmation almost impossible before Sunday. Even if McCarthy gives in and tries to accept a proposal on which he can count on support from Democrats, such as in the Senate, he can accept a proposal as is. Far-right attempt to oust himAccording to some sources, it is a process they have already decided to start.

The bickering among Republicans was condemned by Democrats. “Civil war between MAGA extremists” is an acronym for the Trumpist movement, but the reality is that radicals enrage many of their colleagues in the ranks. “I’m tired of this circus clowns” said Mike Rogers, the Republican congressman from Alabama who voted to keep the government open. “They have to create a circus to perform, that’s the whole point.”
