The former Interior Minister, Rogelio Frigerio, referred this Sunday to the armed opposition in the face of the legislative elections and maintained that in the midst of that debate inside Juntos por el Cambio (JxC) there is no place for a discussion on leadership.

"

The management of our space will not be clear

until there is an intern in 2023," said the former national official in dialogue with FM Milenium.

And he added that there is currently a "horizontal leadership" due to the defeat in the 2019 presidential elections.

In addition, he highlighted the need for JxC to carry out a good electoral performance at the polls, which is the "

initial kick to summon something different on 23"

.

"The ruling party has an almost absolute majority in the Senate, and I think it is better for a healthy democracy

that the opposition put all the meat on the grill

and we, the leaders, put the body," he harangued.

Rogelio Frigerio, Sebastián García de Luca and Emilio Monzó the "Peronist edge" wing of Together for Change, according to former President Macri.

Days ago, the former minister confirmed that he will be a pre-candidate for national deputy for Entre Ríos.

This Sunday, he added that he is already preparing for the campaign and once again expressed his desire to be governor of the province.

After comings and goings, the Government and the opposition finally agreed last week to shift the election date for a month:

the PASO will be on September 12 and the general on November 14

.

In this context, the different leaders of the opposition coalition began to exhibit certain differences regarding the campaign strategies, the candidates and the leadership of former President Mauricio Macri.

"Today

there is not a single person

who leads my political space. People have to choose leadership. In 2023 there will be an intern and there the visible face will be resolved," Frigerio remarked.

At the same time, he analyzed the figure of the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, as someone with management responsibility and with a

"more moderate vision"

within the space.

While he pointed out that in some issues it coincides with the vision of former president Macri and in others also with the position of the president of PRO, Patricia Bullrich.

However, he pointed out that it is necessary to

add more leaders

who provide another look at space.

"For a long time we have been hammering on the

expansion of space

. Today it has a positive result and there are few who believe that it is necessary to be endogamous," he said.

It should be remembered that the former Interior Minister, together with the current deputy Sebastián García de Lucca, and the former president of the Chamber of Deputies, Emilio Monzó, make up what former president Macri called the "Peronist edge" of JxC.

During 2020, Monzó began to move through the province of Buenos Aires, leading the request to expand the coalition and even evaluating the possibility of

adding Margarita Stolbizer and the former governor of Salta Juan Manuel Urtubey

. 

Finally, Frigerio left a self-criticism about the management of Cambiemos, as a kind of analysis against the next electoral challenge of the main opposition coalition. 

"If in space it were enough to win, it will not reach us to govern as it happened in our previous administration. We

have to expand our space,

" he said.
