The head of government was the one who
chose Vidal as his candidate
and bet that Bullrich would make the decision to renounce his candidacy.
"We are going to continue working together to strengthen the UNIT of @juntoscambioar, and achieve the best electoral offer in the City, the Province of Buenos Aires and in all the provinces of Argentina,"
added Larreta.

Thank you, @PatoBullrich, for your great show of responsibility, commitment and conviction.
You are undoubtedly a benchmark throughout the country.

"I have made a decision and I want you to know it: from now on, I will dedicate my hours, my experience, my effort, my reason, my feeling and my action to work for two great objectives that, I am convinced, are central among the concerns and the hopes of our compatriots, of our people, "Bullrich said in a statement.
And he added: "I decide not to be a candidate to enhance my responsibility and my political commitment. To make mine, with more freedom and strength, the consolidation of the hope of a society that wants to get out, once and for all, of populism and work for overcome poverty, inflation, corruption, crime as a form of government, the submission of the Law to the perversion of power, the destruction of the culture of effort, the current mediocrity of education ".

In this way, Vidal will be the star figure in the Buenos Aires fight for Deputies, as Rodríguez Larreta wanted.
We are ready to compete with @mariuvidal in the STEP of @juntoschangear.
It is time to consolidate the broadest possible front to confront Kirchnerism and put a brake on populism in Congress.
