Interns in key provinces condition the gathering of Together for Change: danger of rupture and sanctions

The pressure that began to exert Omar de Marchi in Mendoza has accelerated the times of alfredo cornejo, who had to formalize his candidacy for the post of governor to order the electoral strategy in his territory. This decision affected the search for radical allies in Patricia Bullrich for a possible presidential formula. At the last meeting of the National Council of Ensemble for Change, the president of the PRO and Horace Rodriguez Larreta they promised to resolve the internal conflict in Mendoza within 15 days and they decided to summon representatives of each party that is fighting for the candidacies in key provinces such as Córdoba but, as he learned GlobeLiveMediaThere has been no concrete progress. Meanwhile, the opposition coalition awaits the results of La Pampa to deepen the struggle for leadership.

Cornejo wanted to keep his political future a mystery until the last moment. As one of the radicals who came out early in favor of cross-formulas, he looked like a possible running mate to Bullrich. But, at the same time, expectations are growing in Mendoza – where there is no re-election – about his possible return to succeed Rodolfo Suarez. “Talking about candidacies seems frivolous”, he explained in the last interview that the radical senator gave to this media.

However, given De Marchi’s threat to compete outside of Cambia Mendoza as a gubernatorial candidate, Cornejo was forced to alter his plans in his strategy. The peculiarity of Mendoza is that, despite the instance of PASO, the Larretist deputy considers that the PRO has no participation in the coalition of Mendoza and that, for this reason, it can present itself outside the front. Beyond the complaints about the proximity of local radicalism with the Frente Renovador y Libres del Sur, within Juntos por el Cambio at the national level, the affair is read as a game of pressure from the head of the government of Buenos Aires towards his opponent Bullrich.

The case of Mendoza was the protagonist of the last meeting of the National Table. Despite her separation from Cornejo, Gerard Morales supported him in his commission request to De Marchi. In fact, he warned that “if the coalition breaks in Mendoza, it can break nationally.” That’s why Bullrich and Rodríguez Larreta have promised to resolve this internship within 15 days, although there has still been no progress in the negotiations, since this midfield has been able to rebuild.

At the same meeting, the presidents of the parties that make up Together for Change announced the creation of a political table with two representatives from each party to deal with the situation in the provinces with split elections. As explained at GlobeLiveMedia, the main objective is to reach agreements between the parties and, if not, to go to investigations, open or closed internal, depending on the reality of each territory. Moreover, the authorities do not rule out going ahead with sanctions, such as intervening in rebel parties or not allowing the use of a stamp.

“No one dares to bring up the case of Córdoba”, acknowledged one of the participants at the last meeting. Due to its weight in the electoral rolls and its Macrista history, the province that governs today Juan Schiaretti This is one of the territories that most concerns national references. Over there Louis Judge there Rodrigue de Loredo they cannot agree on the signature of a settlement which, if necessary, would oblige them to settle the candidacy internally in the absence of STEP.

The Cordovan candidates were visited by Bullrich last week with his request to “command” space to beat local Peronism. In addition, he proposed – as a solution – that one of them go down to compete for mayor of Córdoba Capital or solve the internal problem with an investigation carried out by a foreign agency. The small table of Evolución took the idea with irony since they consider that these are subjects already analyzed and that, precisely, they are the ones that generate discord. Neither Judge nor De Loredo want to be mayors or vice-governors.

This Friday has arrived Marie Eugenie Vidal in Córdoba, with the aim of growing in its strategy as a candidate for the presidency. As specified in those around her, the former governor did not express favoritism for any of the candidates but stressed that her vision is always to bet on unity. In case of not succeeding, he understands that the best option is to have a “strategic PAS”: that each candidate aims his speech at a different electorate, one more moderate and another more hard, to achieve a general election. with “more volume”.

Vidal took the opportunity to show himself again with dario’s grandsonprivate secretary of Mauricio Macri. His incorporation was seen as a gesture towards the former president who has not yet defined his political future and conditions the competition between Bullrich and Rodríguez Larreta. “Many proposals, the same values ​​and a common goal: to put a limit to those who want to perpetuate themselves in power and build a future in Cordoba. The path is in unity, the fight for change,” said the MP during her tour with De Loredo, judge and Mario Negri.

Prior to the Together for Change national roundtable meeting, senior UCR leaders met to agree on the need to elevate the Mendoza inmate. Rodríguez Larreta automatically replied that the issue could not be dealt with in isolation, but rather in conjunction with other provinces where the coalition could not reach an agreement, such as Río Negro, Chubut and Neuquén.

In Río Negro, part of the UCR allied with Senator Kirchneriste Alberto Weretilneckwhich caused the fracture of the opposition coalition. Annibale Tortoriello there John Paul Alvarez Guerrero This is the Ensemble for Change formula which they will celebrate on April 16 and which has the support of the PRO.

Another conflict broke out in Neuquén. Paul Cervi -the candidate supported by the UCR and the Civic Coalition- maintains a dispute to be able to use the Together for Change seal and in the last hours he has received the news that Encuentro Republicano, a space he leads Miguel Angel PichettoHe withdrew his support. In this province, at the same time, the PRO promotes Figueroa Roll Who he defeated the official MPN lines in the 2021 elections and to avoid an internal he decided to leave the party.

On the other hand, in Chubut, the co-religionists promote the candidacy for the post of governor of damien happinesswho will face in open training Nacho Torres, national senator of the PRO.

This Sunday, Together for Change will have the first electoral measure for the struggle for leadership. The radical Martin Berhongaray and the referent of the PRO Martin Maquieyra They will compete in a non-compulsory stage to define the candidate who will face the Peronism that has reigned in La Pampa for 40 years. In the radical leadership, they trust the “strong” structure that the centenary party has in this province but they recognize that it will be a test to determine the weight of the leaders of the yellow party who have arrived in recent days to support their candidate.
