In the Casa Rosada they tell a joke about Gerardo Morales from Jujuy that actually hides a compliment:
"He is not a Peronist just because the day he went to join the Basic Unit was closed
,
" they
joke.
Furthermore, they describe him as a "very practical provincial leader and
very aligned"
with the National Government.
They only invoice him for not having helped in the
repeated requests and efforts
to free Milagro Sala, the reference of the Tupac Amarú organization who is currently serving house arrest and who this Sunday
was not authorized to vote
for the Jujuy Justice.
Despite the good relationship, the original intention of the National Government was that Peronism
could achieve a good performance
in the election of Jujuy.
It was impossible.

It was sought that the different sectors were organized, but
the internal was stronger
and the Peronism was presented divided into 6 ballots.
Thus, the Casa Rosada chose not to get involved in the Jujuy election and
avoided being associated with a defeat
.
What's more: the government assured on Sunday night that the electoral result in the northern province
did not appear on
Alberto Fernández's
radar
.
"His only topic is the pandemic
,"
an official who was this Sunday at Quinta de Olivos with the President
told
Clarín
.
The triumph of
Gerardo Morales
in Jujuy
excites
the opposition -especially the UCR in its internal fight with the
PRO
in Juntos por el Cambio-, but also the Casa Rosada: it is just like what had happened three weeks ago in Misiones, once
again
an officialism
prevailed
in an election.
This allows the Frente de Todos to
retain the illusion
of making a good choice in the September PASO and the November general elections, despite the
wear
and
tear
of almost two years in office in the midst of the economic crisis and the pandemic.
"I would not trust myself so much if it were the ruling party
,
"
said a radical who participated in the celebrations with Morales in Jujuy.
Close to Alberto Fernández they said this Sunday night that the result was a
reconfirmation
of the theorem that is repeated the most in the Frente de Todos after the 2015 and 2017 elections and that it prays that
if Peronism is divided, it loses.
Internal positioning
For radicalism, on the other hand, the triumph was
especially valuable
.
In the UCR they understand that it positions them in a different way in the intern with the PRO and that it also allows them to get rid of the
uncomfortable backpack
that they do not know how to govern.
While the PRO is a boiler, the UCR is experiencing an
unprecedented
internal calm.
With three clear national references - Mario Negri, Alfredo Cornejo and Gerardo Morales himself - who have an
oiled relationship with each other
, the party is committed to showing strength and
standing in a different way in
front of its Juntos por el Cambio partners.

Although the most well-known figures in the opposition coalition are those of the PRO, the UCR
intends to fight
the candidates for the legislative elections.
Like Horacio Rodríguez Larreta,
Mauricio Macri is
no longer recognized
for the power of the pen.
Furthermore, they believe that internal disputes between their partners favor them.
"Many thought that the PRO was a car that only walked on the highway and had no mud,"
mocks a radical leader who wants the UCR to be the backbone of Together for Change.
For Morales in particular, in addition, the victory serves to position himself in the race for the
presidential
race
in 2023, an aspiration that he does not hide.
