Of the 257 legislators that the Chamber of Deputies has,
only 23 do not belong to the Frente de Todos or Juntos por el Cambio.
This year
16 of them lose their seats
and the majority forces try to capture them.
Thus, a series of breaks and reunions arise in the final stretch of the candidacies.
The middle blocks are those that helped the ruling party to approve, for example, the pension reform and remove it from the co-participation of the City.
But they are also the ones who blocked the expropriation of Vicentín, and the judicial reforms.
Last week, Mendoza's
José Luis Ramón
-head of the 6-member Federal Unit and Equity interblock- confirmed his agreement with the Frente de Todos with a photo with the local leader of that space, the camper Anabel Fernández Sagasti.
While the candidacies are being defined, he held a meeting this Monday with President Alberto Fernández, to seal the agreement and negotiate his incorporation.
Ramón fights for the first place on the list, but if that is not achieved, they will seek to agree on his participation from another position.

Within that inter-block also the mandate of
Pablo Ansaloni
, of the FE party, created by the late union leader Gerónimo “Momo” Venegas,
expires
.
Ansaloni entered Congress in 2017 for the Let's Change list, but in 2019 he broke with the PRO block.
This year he and his party signed an alliance in the province of Buenos Aires with the Frente de Todos.
Ansaloni made headlines last year for having been expelled from the UATRE for "anti-Semitic expressions" in the middle of a political fight with the new leadership of the union that involve accusations of corruption in the union's social work.
It is not yet known if he will be a candidate for a bench this year.
"It will depend on the decision of Máximo Kirchner and Sergio Massa"
, they point out in their environment.
Ansaloni's departure from the PRO block occurred
alongside
the departure of
Beatriz Avila
from Tucumán
and
Antonio Carambia from
Santa Cruz
.
Both spent a season in Ramón's interblock, but considering that he was too close to the ruling party, they opened up.
Avila, wife of the mayor of San Miguel de Tucumán, Germán Alfaro, formed a monobloc and
this year will compete again within the alliance of Together for Change
, but as a candidate for senator.
It is expected to face other sectors of space in internal matches.
On the other hand, the head of the 11-member Federal Interblock,
Eduardo "Bali" Bucca
this time said no to Florencio Randazzo.
The former mayor of Bolívar was the only legislator to get a seat in 2017 for "Cumplir", Randazzo's front that at that time had President Alberto Fernández as campaign manager facing Cristina Kirchner's Citizen Unity list.

In 2019 Bucca again chose the third way and was a candidate for governor of Lavagnism.
But this time, he refused to be part of Randazzo's space.
He is in talks with the ruling party, but does not confirm whether he will join the FdT or whether he will be a candidate this year.
The other justicialist deputy from that space is
Andrés Zottos
, former deputy governor of Juan Manuel Urtubey, will be a candidate again for the space of the current governor Gustavo Sáenz, who closed out of Kirchnerism, but maintains a legal dispute over the name of the alliance "Front of All".
The lavagnista
Jorge Sarghini
, for his part, who expires his term, has already clarified that he will not seek to renew.
In that
inter-block
,
the Santa Fe
Luis Contigiani
also renews his bank
, who remains in the same line and set up his own space - "Primero Santa Fe" - separated from the ruling party and local socialism, with which he will seek to retain the bank.
"It is a developmental, plural space. But we also want to address the problem of insecurity, drug dealing, deaths. We believe that it must be confronted in a forceful way, and that for that we need a multiparty agreement in conjunction with civil society," he said. Contigiani.
The seats of missionaries Ricardo Wellbach and Flavia Morales, who respond to Governor Oscar Herrera Ahuad, also win;
and three of the four Cordovan deputies of Juan Schiaretti:
Claudia Márquez, Alejandra Vigo
and
Paulo Cassinerio.
Alma Sapag,
from the monobloc of the Neuquén Popular Movement, also ends his term, as do the two deputies from the Left:
Carlos Giordano
, and
Mónica Schlotthauer.
