In the middle of the relentless internship that Together for Change is living, Patricia Bullrich I take one risky decision For press to his rival supporter in the presidential race: he will not give his ballot to the candidates for the head of the government promoted by Horace Rodriguez Larreta neither one Martin Lousteaucandidate for the Radical Civic UnionI (UCR). That is to say that the president of the PRO was inclined to take as a candidate from Buenos Aires only Jorge Macri.
This tactic was the subject of deliberation by her political team and the former Minister of Security did not hesitate: she does not conceive that the PRO could lose the City to the benefit of radicalism, at the hands of Lousteau and , from this point of view, it vetoes the Larretist agreement. with the Porteño Committee. Bullrich is arrogant which Rodríguez Larreta shot three candidates of his kidney to the head of government with the aim of split the vote PRO in the PASO and takes advantage of Lousteau: With the fragmented PRO, the national senator has a chance to win in the internal JxC in the City.

Mirroring its strategy in the province of Buenos Aires, bullrichism wants Bullrich to be a candidate for the presidency and only takes Jorge Macri as a candidate to succeed Uspallata. With this idea they seek to put pressure on Rodríguez Larreta not to split the PRO vote and to demonstrate the alleged pact with Lousteau.
This game can benefit Jorge Macri, but it can be risk for Bullrich. Because the president of the PRO thus loses the possibility that more than one candidate from Buenos Aires attracts votes for her presidential candidacy. For his part, Rodríguez Larreta refuse an agreement with Lousteau to deliver the City to the radicals. On the contrary, it manifests itself in favor of the PRO candidates of Buenos Aires (including the cousin of the former president). In any case, he still leans -in public- for none, even if among his relatives he does not hide his preference for Fernand Quiros.
He city health minister He is one of three pure candidates for Larretismo. The other two are Soledad AcunaMinister of Education and Emmanuel Ferrario, 1st Vice-President of the Legislative Assembly of Buenos Aires. Quirós is the most installed and with the best intention to vote (among the larretistas). In any case, he is running behind Jorge Macri, who is currently the best placed in the polls.
In any case, in the political laboratory Uspallata, based in Olazábal street in the Núñez neighborhood, they maintain that Quirós has “good showing” For “grow in position”. On the other hand, Larretismo analyzes that Jorge Macri “measures well but stagnates in the polls”. In the electoral camp of the mayor of Vicente López on leave, we distance ourselves from these observations. “We do not discuss more than polls. We have completed this step.”the jorgemacrista operators slip into intimacy and pronounce: “Now the discussion is policy”.
Jorge Macri bets to be the unit candidate of the PRO. For this, macrismo and bullrichism push Rodríguez Larreta to lower the candidacies of his three candidates from Buenos Aires. The Mayor of the City is resisting these attacks: he considers that we still have time to command Buenos Aires’ electoral bid and, until there is an agreement, he will allow his candidates to advance in their campaigns.
In this context, Quirós will continue its campaign actions. At the same time, he hopes that Rodríguez Larreta outsources the public blessing of his candidacy. The doctor refuses to face Jorge Macri and Lousteau and claims to be the only candidate for the PRO.
Those who assist the Minister of Health in his strategy are Juan Pablo Grana -current head of advisers to Felipe Miguel-, as campaign coordinator; Juan Maquieyrageneral secretary of the PRO and brother of the national deputy of La Pampa; Roberto Giganteformer Minister of Infrastructure Marie Eugenie Vidal, is the one who brought Quirós closer to the government of Buenos Aires. He also advises Frederick DiBenedettoUspallata strategist.
Since last week, Quirós has moved his campaign team to the PRO headquarters in the city, Tacuarí street. It is a movement that object Jorge Macri because he does not agree with the doctor being handed over by the party offices.
In the past two weeks, Quirós has added photos with Vidal, Elisa Carrion and Rodriguez Larreta. The great obstacle to his candidacy continues to be Mauricio Macriwho supports his cousin Jorge and seals the toilets.
For their part, Acuña and Ferrario will continue their respective campaign actions, even if they are still behind Quirós. The Minister of Education prepare an educational announcement for next week, which with Rodriguez Larreta. In turn, Acuña continues to work to take care of bridges with him macrismo and bullrichism and anoint as the PRO unit candidate. It won’t be easy. Ferrario plays his game, focused on increase their levels of knowledge in the electorate and to lead the political renewal in the PRO and in the City. He is the youngest candidate from Buenos Aires.
Another of the key points of JxC’s Buenos Aires internship is the rapprochement between Bullrich and Ricardo Lopez Murphy. The economist confirmed that he would be a candidate for the head of the city government and yesterday he expressed that he would support the former security minister as a candidate for the presidency.
What is curious is that this movement does not generate reciprocity. Bullrich appreciates López Murphy’s support but does not support him in Ciudad: “We are going to cash in on my party leaders.” And the decision is made: they will only give the presidential ballot to Jorge Macri.
Lopez Murphy’s Strategy tense his political relations with Roberto Garcia Moritan. It is that the legislator of the City has the same electoral ambition: to be the liberal candidate of JxC which disputes the head of the Government.
García Moritán had planned today the launch of his candidacy for the head of government. But the postponed and his decision will have to wait for the tactics of López Murphy. A relevant fact is that united republicansparty of these two leaders, is that the Monday they will have a party assembly. They will define the Rules elect candidates for national and sub-national alliances. The liberal leg of JxC recalculates and seeks accommodation within the internal opposition. The room is in the air.
