On the old continent, he must assume commitments linked to his role as president of the FIFA Foundation. His return will be penultimate week of March and it will serve the former president of extend the intrigue on his political future. Macri’s attitude sows political uncertainty which makes it difficult to conclude agreements and negotiations within Together for change (JxC). especially in the PRO.

as anticipated GlobeLiveMediamacri suspended the presentation of his book to Rosarioplanned for the February 27, on the occasion of the progress of his journey. In Europe, the head of the FIFA Foundation will be in Zürich, Swiss, where the headquarters of the highest international entity in football is located. will also visit Italy, where he will stay for a few days and give lectures as a guest at the University of Bologna.

During his almost three weeks out of Argentina, Macri will continue his busy political schedule. He will follow everything remotely. Meanwhile, in the Río de la Plata, they hope their return coincides with their definition. The PRO founder plans to return home on March 20 and will give no political will concrete on his electoral future until April.

Those who are regulars of the former president slip that will stretch your decision as much as possible -until the political situation allows it-. In the political circle of Horace Rodriguez Larreta and in the radicalism consider that the former head of state pays the political suspense for retain power.

Macri insists he has neither accepted nor quit any candidacy. He argues that it will beevenamong the candidates for the presidency of the party he founded and who will seek balance the scales electoral. However, in JvC there is mistrust about this argument. Because they warn that the referent of the opposition verbalizes this intention at the same time as he manifests actions whose effects unbalance the balance of power among professionals.

Last week, the former head of state played hard in the yellow internal. He returned to Buenos Aires from Cumelén and resumed his public appearances. All with political expertise. He visited the new presidential campaign bunker in Marie Eugenie Vidal the same day that Rodríguez Larreta launched his candidacy.

Macri’s political calendar before his flight to Europe was tight. In his balancing act, between his many appointments, Macri met yesterday Bullrich and with Jorge Macro. This is after visiting Vidal and publicly greet stop for his release.

In turn, in his offices in Olivos he was visited by the mayors Nestor Grindetti (Lanus) and Manuel Passaglia (San Nicolás), the national deputies of the PRO Christian Ritondo there Hernan Lombardi and the legislator and economist Ricardo Lopez Murphy. He also met the Governor of Corrientes, Gustavo Valdesand with his cousin, Jorge Macri. as much as he could tell GlobeLiveMediathe former leader of Boca Juniors had other political and work appointments booked.

The former president maintains that his role is to help all yellow candidates. Macri told an opposition leader who visited him that the PRO trainee was hurting JxC and asked them to ‘stay out’ in the presidential showdown between Larreta and Patricia Bullrich. However, in the intimacy of the macrismo, they considered that the presidential launch of the mayor of Buenos Aires should “mistime” and one “anxiety symptom”.

Publicly, Macri posted a post on his Instagram yesterday in support of Rodríguez Larreta’s launch. “I am happy that Horacio presented his candidacy today,” said the former president. But he immediately clarified:I think that from the tension produced by the will to win, we always come out favored”.

This phrase allowed for a diverse hermeneutic that resonated with both the PRO and UCR, the Civic Coalition, the Republican Meeting, and even the United Republicans. Each JxC partner makes his interpretation. But they all agree on something: Macri’s lack of definition hinders the achievement of national and federal agreements in the opposition coalition.

In CABAJxC has a multiplication of applications by the succession of Rodríguez Larreta which worries the PRO. In the yellow game there are four thrown. The former president’s candidate is his cousin, Jorge Macri -also supported by Bullrich-. The mayor of the city has a predilection for Fernand Quiroseven if he also prefers Soledad Acuna Already Emmanuel Ferrario on the mayor of Vicente López on leave.

In the yellow party, they agree that they must opt ​​for a candidate from Buenos Aires and that this decision will come from a agreement between Macri and Larreta. However, in Larretismo they argue that this negotiation will not take place until the former head of state has defined what his electoral future will be. Something similar is happening in the armed opposition to Province of Buenos Aires.

In the territory of Buenos Aires, Diego Santilli, Ritondo, grindetti, joaquin de la torre there Javier Iguacel These are the PRO candidates ready to compete for the governorship. Due to radicalism, those who roam the province with the same ambition are martin tetaz, Gustavo Posse there Abbot Maximilian.

under, above 50 opposition mayors and territorial leaders are pushing for JxC to direct its national assembly to advance alliances at the provincial and district levels. In the office of the Cambiemite mayor, there is a consensus that until there is a definition On the political destiny of Macri, the internal between Rodríguez Larreta and Bullrich will continue to mark the dynamics of the coalition.

Something similar is happening right now in some provinces where JxC is going through turmoil and tension due to candidacies. are the cases of Mendoza, Cordoba, Black River, chubut there Land of Fire. Opposition leaders hope that the national stage will be decreed in order to facilitate subsequent realignments and provincial negotiations. In this scheme, the role of Macri will be essential. This situation plunges JvC into a kind of complex political failure.

In real chess, it is generally recommended that whoever is playing white, when he opens the game, develop his pieces to quickly occupy the center of the board. Politically, Larretismo and his allies have already moved. Now they are thinking about their next steps. As in the strategy game, in political chess there is something key to keep in mind: blacks play too. Macri knows this very well.
