Sergio Massa defends his rejection of internal competition in the PASO. Massa did not say whether he would eventually be willing to compete in the primaries or choose another candidate from his space.

"They said the helicopter was coming and there we were. We put the body, we did not hide," Massa bellowed minutes after 17:15 p.m., when he took the stage. "Let's keep dreaming, let's grow. We are the homeland, we are the flag," he shouted.
