Patricia Bullrich, Alfredo Cornejo and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta during one of the support meetings for Together for Change

The National Table PRO will meet again this afternoon to discuss the selection of candidates for Together for Change (JxC) in Mendoza and avoid a break in the front in this territory. Mendoza has primary, open, simultaneous and compulsory elections (takeover bid) on June 11 and the coalition candidates are the radical senator and ex-governor, alfredo cornejoand national deputy Omar De Marchi. Today will be a virtual conclave and it is expected to start at 7:00 p.m. They are expected to tune in Mauricio Macri, Horace Rodriguez Larreta, Patricia Bullrich and the rest of the party leaders involved in the negotiations around the Mendoza detainee.

This will be the second conclave in a week. Last Tuesday, the small national PRO table also met via Zoom. The top was tense and there were crossover Chicanas between Macri, Bullrich and Rodríguez Larreta. “Do you want to exploit everything?” Launched the president of PRO to the mayor of Buenos Aires, in one of the most critical moments of the virtual gathering. The crossing happened because Rodríguez Larreta defended the candidacy of De Marchi, his bishop of Mendoza and one of his national leaders.

The wine province is governed by the radical Rodolfo Suarez -that he has no possibility of re-election-. The local president endorses the gubernatorial candidacy of Crow. Opposite, the larretista De Marchi threatens to compete outside the Cambia Mendoza front. Radicalism demanded a definition of the PRO before February 28, the date on which the lists are closed in seven departments. However, Larreta and De Marchi asked for more time to order the inmate. Macri listened to everything carefully and was clouded by the political attitude of the mayor of Buenos Aires and blurted out: “It’s not possible that you throw the ball forward all the time, Horacio.”

The PRO dispute in Mendoza responds to two scenarios. Interparties, which is the struggle for the leadership of the opposition between the PRO and the Radical Civic Union (UCR). And the other has to do with the prisoner of the yellow party, which opposes the presidential project of Rodríguez Larreta to that of Patricia Bullrich. And above all flies over Macri, whose electoral indefiniteness accentuates the political discussions within the party he founded. In the Mendoza dispute, the former president is in tune with his former security minister.

In this context, De Marchi alleges that the deadline for closing the negotiations is April 12, the day of the presentation of the provincial alliances. The official larretista and shipowner, Edward Machiavelliand national deputy bullrichista, Federico AngeliniThey remained mediators.

Last night, from Larretismo, they circulated a document that communicated that De Marchi and the PRO aligned with the national deputy will give “freedom of action in the seven departmental elections. The provincial question is resolved when the electoral dates indicate it, they pointed out near Rodríguez Larreta. That is, in each of these departments it will decide, the leaders of the PRO will decide if they compete within Cambia Mendoza or if they do it outside. Communication also spread alvaro martineznational deputy and president of PRO Mendoza, close to De Marchi and Rodríguez Larreta.

“This statement by PRO Mendoza has no legal validity. It was a meeting of four friends that brought this out through the media,” a national official of the party founded by Macri asked GlobeLiveMedia. Bullrichism and Macri will argue that this document lacks a legal basis.In addition, they will propose that the National Office of the PRO request the provincial party to institutionalize the position of the party for the departmental elections and the struggle for the post of governor.

However, this statement may be questioned in the Zoom this afternoon. Larretismo will insist that the deadline for negotiating the candidacy for the government is April 12. The entourage and the macrismo of Bullrich will try to put pressure on the head of the government of Buenos Aires. In addition to Macri, Rodríguez Larreta and Bullrich, Angelini, Macchiaveli, María Eugenia Vidal, Diego Santilli, Fernando De Andreis, Humberto Schiavoni and Federico Pinedo are expected to take part.

This conclave takes place a day before the launch of Larreta’s presidential campaign. as anticipated GlobeLiveMedia, the mayor will make his candidacy official tomorrow via social networks, through a video. “Horacio launched his candidacy on the last day of the Mauritian government. This will be a raise, won’t it? Bullrich jostled him in televised statements over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Mendoza is preparing for the National Harvest Festival, which will take place in the first days of March. Bullrich was personally invited by Cornejo and confirmed that she will go. There will be a photo and support for the candidacy of the national senator. Rodríguez Larreta also received an invitation and his campaign team confirmed to this media his presence.
