Before flying to Madrid, Mauricio Macri insisted with his eyes on the electoral strategy in meetings alone with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and María Eugenia Vidal.
Already in Spain he published the letter in which he sought
to distance himself from the fights
for the candidacies.
Some in the PRO interpreted it as a movement to attribute to the head of Government the responsibility of solving the internal.
Others as an acknowledgment of the
loss of power in
space
decisions
.
In any case, even without an agreement and with pending negotiations, Rodríguez Larreta was
better positioned in the dispute
with his former political boss. With the endorsement of the PRO mayors to the landing of Diego Santilli in the province of Buenos Aires, materialized in the meetings and photos with Néstor Grindetti, Julio Garro, Diego Valenzuela, Guillermo Montenegro and Héctor Gay, he won a
good part of the fight
in the main district of the country. Macri wanted Vidal to be the Buenos Aires candidate and she already confirmed that this time she will not pay attention to him.
Santilli is already preparing to compete in the primaries against the list headed by Facundo Manes, the letter of radicalism that is aimed at confirming his candidacy these days.
“
I come to put the body.
I am here to visit each one of the neighborhoods, up to the last house, ”said the Buenos Aires deputy chief in one of the meetings with the communal chiefs.
Jorge Macri
supports the rejection
of his application and assures that he will face it in the PASO.
The Rodríguez Larreta y Vidal sector trusts in agreeing with the mayor of Vicente López and holder of the PRO in the Province.
To continue paving his way, Santilli argues that his candidacy this year
does not mean that in 2023 he will be the only one qualified
to succeed Axel Kicillof, beyond the fact that a good result would leave him well positioned.
What would mean "a good result? Not only would he contemplate the victory, according to the look at the Uspallata headquarters: also
" lose by one digit, "
that is, by less than ten points, in the words of a senior official who works in the Buenos Aires army.
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Diego Santilli, with Buenos Aires mayors and leaders.
In addition to leaving open the race for the governorship, both for Jorge Macri and for other applicants such as Cristian Ritondo and mayors such as Garro, Valenzuela and Grindetti, for the mayor of Vicente López one of the proposals will be the
senator
box
for the First Section
to a leader of his space, with the prospect of presiding over the bloc.
Santilli got the
endorsement of Carrió
, who raised him as "the candidate who measures very well today" when he went out to attack Manes -although it is not yet defined if she will go on the list-, and will seek to agree with Emilio Monzó and Margarita Stolbizer, although both are resisted by the founder of the Civic Coalition.
The Vidal plan
At another speed, with suspense on whether this electoral turn will be presented or will pass, Vidal stated that in any case he seeks a unit list to
avoid a competition
with Patricia Bullrich.
After it emerged that the incumbent, the PRO, could desist from her intention to head the ballot,
the gestures were chained in order to bring positions closer together.
"We value the role of Patricia, our offer has to speak to the
largest possible bandwidth of the electorate
and she is the one who is better in the hard core of space," they rehearsed as an argument at the headquarters of Uspallata.
Vidal herself had started with the
praise
of her eventual rival in the PASO.
"He put his body and face after a difficult moment," he said about Bullrich in a virtual chat with Carrió, who in turn completed the saga at the weekend:
"Patricia is acting with greatness
.
"

The "recognition" plan for internal adversaries includes Macri.
“We are not going to hide it in the campaign.
In many areas the government of Mauritius is beginning to be more relevant, in contrast to what is happening now: in foreign policy, security, federalism ... There is much to show, "said a member of Rodríguez Larreta's small table about one of the the
fixations
of Macri: seeking vindication of its mandate, including in economic terms.
Up to that point they did not arrive at the headquarters of Parque Patricios
.
The “no winners and no losers” strategy will not be easy.
Bullrich does not accept the third place on the list in the City
and in the hard wing of the PRO they
demand a "balance"
in the definitions.
This demand
includes two axes
: that Rodríguez Larreta does not impose his decisions in the two main districts and that they integrate the leading lists with the two profiles, both the moderate and the intransigent.
"Those who are identified with the management and also those who were in the street must be," will be the question.
“Patricia is not an obstacle, but Horacio has to be responsible.
"We are going for everything is Kirchnerist, here it does not go
", showed a predisposition to negotiate although a reference from that sector launched the warning.
