Diego Santilli was launched this Thursday as a candidate for national deputy for the province of Buenos Aires in a ceremony in La Plata, accompanied by the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, and by several references from Together for Change such as Elisa Carrió, who had a funny moment when he sang a reggaeton hit and remembered his meme lying under a vehicle
"
Des-pa-ci-to, step by step,
" Lilita sang into the microphone after giving a speech in support of Santilli, surrounded by references from Together for Change.
It is a fragment of one of the most recognized songs by Luis Fonsi with Daddy Yankee, which played ad nauseam a few summers ago, when it held first place in the world rankings for a long time.
Carrió came from a serious tone, when raising the guidelines of the party that he integrates for the next legislative elections.
At the end, he said: "I leave you now with the great Colorado candidate."
Although the one who continued exposing was Rodríguez Larreta, who took the microphone and responded with irony and between laughter: "You left me like a reed."
Lilita's speech began with a self-reference to the 2011 presidential election and the remembered meme lying under a vehicle: "I am an old outlet, I am worth less than a dollar and more after 65, but I come to represent the that we want to be great and to explain to the youth of our country that it is true that
a truck ran over us
in the last two years. And one when a truck passes over you,
it happened to me with 1.8%, it was a Big truck
and look where I am, happy. The most successful failure in the history of the nation. "
"When one is under a truck, one has two alternatives: to stay under the truck for life or to lift it and go out to life. I come to propose to go out to life, not for Together for Change but for the family Argentina that constitutes the homeland,
get out of the truck and walk out to rebuild,
"Carrió continued.
Then she praised the
"red candidate"
as she herself baptized him: "Love is going to save us, I know Diego as a child, I went to his first wedding and I am a friend of his second wife, he was a legislator, you know to legislate you have to learn to legislate to be a candidate, you have to put your body, intelligence and soul, and you
have to know how to write a law, I am not saying it for anyone
, obviously.
"I told Diego: '
I bet on your heart
.
'
Look, I no longer know anything about politics because I forgot almost everything, but I know people's hearts and I bet on that heart because it can unite the entire province of Buenos Aires, "said the leader.
And he closed: "Hope and faith are opened when we have hope and faith, it is not opened to the resigned and skeptical but to those who say long live Argentina, we are going to recreate the Argentine family.
Larreta also joked with Carrió's chosen metaphor about the truck and recalled her photo that later turned into a meme of her lying under a car.
"As Lilita said, we are all going to get out of the truck together, that photo reminds
me that you were
lying there
," said the head of the Buenos Aires government with laughter, about Carrió's meme that in 2017 he had dedicated to Aníbal Fernández, in one of his countless fights with the former Kirchner minister.
This from @FernandezAnibal seems wonderful to me !!
Now I can get out of the car. 😀 pic.twitter.com/a7LGDNzb5X

The Together for Change campaign
The presentation, under the slogan "It's Together", was made at the Equestrian Club of La Plata, a day after Larreta, Mauricio Macri and Elisa Carrió, among others, published a photo of Santilli's reddish hair on the networks, thus beginning to the campaign of the current deputy head of the Buenos Aires government.

With Santilli they were also his second on the ballot, Graciela Ocaña, and several other references from the PRO and the Civic Coalition.
Santilli will compete in the Juntos internal against Facundo Manes, who has the support of the radical wing of the main opposition alliance and allies identified with Buenos Aires Peronism such as Emilio Monzó and Joaquín de la Torre.
Patricia Bullrich, Miguel Ángel Pichetto and Jorge Macri were also present at the event.
In addition, the mayor of La Plata, Julio Garro, served as host and they were seen by the mayors of Lanús, Néstor Grindetti -head of the campaign-, and of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela.
