With the electoral calendar still without modifications, the names of the pre-candidacies that must register on June 19 for the PASO begin to appear and the former Minister of the Interior of Mauricio Macri, Rogelio Frigerio has already signed up to compete in Entre Ríos both in this election mid-term to
fight for governor in 2023.
The former macrista official has already signed up for the electoral race.
"Since February I have begun to walk after a year of not being able to do it. For the first time I said that I was willing to be a candidate if that was functional to the project in which we are working with many people, he said.
"After many elections in which I participated from behind, as campaign manager and after speaking with my family,
we decided that this time, and in 2023 also at least, I had the will to contribute from a personal point of view as candidate
", said Frigerio in dialogue with the program" De Puntín "of
Continental
radio
.
And I clarify: "I insist, if it is functional to the Entre Ríos transformation project that I have been working on for a while, and which involves not only a development plan but also, learning from past mistakes, an
expansion of the database of political support
of our space that is in the opposition. We are
talking with political leaders of other parties
, with a different trajectory and history, to incorporate them into the alliance that today is in the opposition to see if after 20 years of the same government in Entre Ríos You can change".
Former minister Rogelio Frigerio on one of the campaign tours of Villa Paranacito, Entre Ríos four years ago.
Asked if he read the book "First time" by Mauricio Macri and the relationship with the former president, Frigerio said that he received the book this week and still could not read it, and about the link with the PRO leadership added: "I'm not in no table of the leadership of the opposition. I have no positions in the public function or partisan positions and in that sense I lost with several opposition leaders and I have been taking care of Entre Ríos for more than a year, in the project that I have for the province".
On the other hand, he criticized the current government's management.
"I see setbacks in aspects where progress had been made in the previous administration: federalism, infrastructure, Argentina's positioning in the world, the division of powers. There are many things in which we were able to advance and now
we see a clear I regressed
and I see it with concern.
The Lima group, what is happening with Mercosur worries me a lot
. "
"It is clear that increasingly
the vice president (Cristina Fernández de Kirchner) occupies increasingly significant positions of power,
and in some way conditions the actions of the President (Alberto Fernández). This is a presidential country and that obviously later has an impact They may or may not criticize the actions of our government, but
no one doubted that the one who made the final decisions was Mauricio Macri
, who held the reins of public management. That was not in doubt and today clearly that is under discussion, "added Frigerio.
Regarding the discussion about the possible modification of the electoral calendar, he was critical of the Government: "At this point in the year, a few weeks before the electoral calendar begins, which begins at the end of April with the revision of the electoral rolls,
we are discussing whether there will be STEP seems to me at least sloppy
. If the economic issue is raised as a restriction, the solution is to go to the single ballot, with which we had advanced in the previous administration and it stopped in the Senate with a half-sanction of Deputies. "
And he left the door open for a modification: "
The PASO are a good instrument if used
. One began to question the importance because unfortunately on several occasions they were not used for people to decide who is the best candidate in each political space. the places where they are not used we could review if they make sense or not. "
