Returning from her trip to Washington and New York, María Eugenia Vidal must serve a

seven-day

quarantine

.

He will have virtual meetings, one this Monday with Elisa Carrió.

He will also participate by Zoom of the national table of Together for Change.

To announce the decision on his candidacy

still missing

: it will do so

after meeting with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Mauricio Macri.

Given the increase in pressure, Vidal seeks

to distance himself from the inmates

in the PRO: more focused on an application in the City, he would prefer to avoid a dispute with Patricia Bullrich in the PASO.

Of the three options - to be a candidate in the City, in the Province or to skip this electoral turn -, for some time she has

practically ruled out

returning to the dispute in the main district of the country.

María Eugenia Vidal and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.

"You cannot be 100% sure,

but everything would give that impression,

" confirmed his closest leaders.

Among the other two alternatives, it also loses strength not to run, due to the demands in her space and also in part of the so-called red circle: “She is going to decide by what she feels, but she

has to give political projection to the proposal

she represents with Horacio.

Patricia and Mauricio's sector takes you to a country with no way out ”.

Before confirming her candidacy in the City, however, Vidal rejects the idea of ​​an intern with Bullrich and even more the

accusations that she caused the conflict scenario

by not accepting to head the ballot in the province of Buenos Aires, as requested Macri.

Vidal argues that Rodríguez Larreta, as head of government, should be

able to choose the first candidate

in the district regardless of whether it is her or not.

“The quilombo has nothing to do with María Eugenia's decision.

The discussion happens because they let him choose.

The president of the national PRO disputes the only ruler of the PRO in the country, Horacio is not being respected his role ”, will be the proposal regarding the definitions.

“We do not see radicalism making Morales, Suárez or Valdés intern in their provinces.

And that goes beyond María Eugenia, because if she is a candidate in Jujuy, to say the least,

the problem between Horacio and Patricia will continue to exist

”.

Beyond the lack of agreement between Rodríguez Larreta and Bullrich, the substantive discussion -that is why it is not replicated in other provinces- is fought between the head of the Buenos Aires government and Macri, due to the leadership of the PRO and the perspective towards 2023. " Horacio is the leader of the Pro with the best image in the country and they

try to weaken him

. If he cannot decide, the boss is still Mauricio ”, they warned near Vidal.

In a face-to-face meeting two weeks ago, Rodríguez Larreta had proposed to Bullrich to

resolve the conflict based on the polls

.

According to the numbers they had at that time at the Uspallata headquarters, Vidal surpassed the PRO holder by 15 points in image differential.

On Bullrich's side, they replied with a survey in which she had an advantage among the voters of Together for Change.

Trip to the united states

The trip to the United States generated for a few days a

pause in the pressure

on Vidal to define whether she will be a candidate.

In Washington and New York he held meetings with Luis Almagro -the head of the OAS-, businessmen and representatives of organizations, investment funds and NGOs.

Before leaving, Bullrich had questioned her for stretching the decision and for "moving out of the district."

Vidal replied that he was not going to "spend a minute" with the inmates.

This scenario encouraged a sector of radicalism to encourage Martín Lousteau to go to PASO this year.

Vidal will share the

screen with Carrió

this Monday

: they will give an online course - Theoretical and practical training of political action - for young people under 40, organized by the Hannah Arendt Institute.

The founder of the Civic Coalition had publicly endorsed her and offered herself as a candidate in the Province.

A few days ago, he made an impact when he complained about

the PRO's

“disregard”

of radicalism and his party.

Then Vidal will participate by Zoom in the meeting of the national table of Together for Change.

In that appointment they will talk about the candidacies, although it is not certain that she will confirm her decision that day.

He has planned a lunch with Macri for next week and before that he will be in communication with Rodríguez Larreta and Cristian Ritondo, who this turn could support Diego Santilli in the Province but then he will seek to inherit Vidal's army in Buenos Aires territory to also fight -as the Buenos Aires deputy chief and Jorge Macri- for the governorship in 2023.

Close to Vidal they even estimate that he would announce it after a

possibly face-

to-

face meeting

with Macri and Rodríguez Larreta.

Former President Mauricio Macri.

If he confirms his candidacy in the City, former Buenos Aires officials of his trust could disembark in Rodríguez Larreta's cabinet.

One is

Gustavo Ferrari

for Justice, who would be released from the Ministry of Security.
