In the previous electoral definitions, one of the declared objectives of Together for Change, that of “expanding” the coalition with the incorporation of other spaces, encounters

difficulties due to the internal climate and disputes over leadership

, especially in the PRO.

The referents of parties in conversations to enter notice it and they recognize it themselves.

“The intention is, but first you have to order your own patio.

If not,

do you invite them to your house and where do you sit them?

”, Sums up one of those who is exploring negotiations, for now without concrete progress.

The objective of seeking agreements to grow in representation this year and with a view to 2023 seems to be a

shared purpose in the PRO, the UCR and the Civic Coalition

, beyond the differences and preferences of each sector on whom to target.

“You have to add.

With what we had, it was not enough.

We are the opening of Together for Change ”, proclaimed Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, in a meeting in Tigre with María Eugenia Vidal and leaders of the Conurbano.

Mauricio Macri met in a virtual way with

José Luis Espert

-also the head of the Buenos Aires government- in which they spoke of a

possible expanded opposition intern

in the province of Buenos Aires.

In radicalism, Alfredo Cornejo had conversations with

Ricardo López Murphy

and Martín Lousteau with

Margarita Stolbizer

.

Rodríguez Larreta also tested the GEN leader.

Some even imagined a confluence with Florencio Randazzo.

Beyond the difficulty for the former Interior Minister to accept, the majority in JxC assesses that in that case his candidacy from the outside would be more convenient, as a third option, to divide Peronism.

And Elisa Carrió?

A few months ago he pointed out against Emilio Monzó and other Peronists and also has his rancor with Stolbizer, although

from the CC they claim an eventual expansion of JxC.

"In the last 14 years of political life, she carried out

strategies to build majorities,

" argued one of her trusted men in reference to the Civic and Social Agreement, the UNEN front - dissolved after its discussion with Pino Solanas - and Cambiemos.

"Now we have to go to a middle position, with great restraint, on a

path of greater social representation,

" he added in line with Rodríguez Larreta.

Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and María Eugenia Vidal, in a meeting on Thursday with leaders of the La Territorial group.

The recrudescence of the internal, mainly in the PRO, complicates for the moment the scenario for eventual incorporations.

In recent days the disputes were even more exposed.

“Who is a candidate in each district is defined by that district.

Not from anywhere else.

I don't know why we naturalize this idea of ​​Larreta, which at this point sounds like a whim, of wanting to cross candidates ”,

pointed out Jorge Macri, who resists the possible application of Diego Santilli in Buenos Aires territory.

"It seems strange to me that a deputy chief of the City who is also the Minister of Security leaves his workplace in the midst of a pandemic to be a candidate for deputy in a province that is not the one he has been working on," added the mayor of Vicente López, with aspirations to the governor's office in 2023.

"Vidal moving to another district does not help,

" said Patricia Bullrich, determined to head the ballot in the City.

"This is a debate of politics,

of the leadership, not of the people,

" the former governor replied this Sunday.

"It is also rare that the only district governed by the PRO

comes the president of the party to do an intern,

" they returned close to the head of the Buenos Aires government.

Rodríguez Larreta and Vidal showed up at the meeting in Tigre determined to face the dispute - basically, with Mauricio Macri for the leadership of the space - in the PASO.

López Murphy with Espert

“They are entangled in their fight.

Thus, there are no valid interlocutors and many times they name us to pass messages between them

”, warned one of the leaders in negotiations to join or explore a convergence in the primaries.

More internal noises

The conversations between Macri and Rodríguez Larreta with Espert in turn generated noise in the radicalism and the Civic Coalition.

Some reject the liberal economist for his strong criticism of the management of Cambiemos, an argument similar to that made by others about Stolbizer.

The percentage that will be set as the

floor to access the conformation of the lists

according to the results of the STEP also provokes a discussion and could imply a hindrance.

“If you put it too high

you are saying that nobody comes

.

It would be unfortunate, it is not having learned from what happened to us because we did not have broad scope in the government ”, questioned Monzó.

The rejection is based on the number of leaders with aspirations that exceeds the prospect of “entry-level” places on the lists.

"There is resistance to the low floor because the one who exceeds it already puts two or three candidates in you,"

acknowledged one of the main leaders of the province.
