In the middle of the closing of lists, there were several people from Buenos Aires who were left with the desire.
Although the focus on the application of the law that
limits indefinite re-elections
in the Province of Buenos Aires is usually on the mayors, this year the law that prohibits more than two re-elections came into force.
Thus, two provincial senators, ten deputies and dozens of councilors and school counselors were left out of the lists.
The regulation was promoted by massismo in 2016, when it found both the support of Cambiemos and the
rejection of Kirchnerism
in the Legislature.
Today Article 7 of Law 14,836, promulgated in September 2016,
affected provincial and municipal legislators of all political forces:
"The period of the Mayors, Councilors, School Counselors, Deputies and Senators as of the entry into force of the present Law will be considered
as the first period
. "
It is that to all the legislators, councilors and school counselors who were
voted in 2013
-when the Renewing Front stormed and won the Province-, and
re-elected in 2017
,
this year their terms expire and
they cannot run again
for those positions.
In the provincial Senate
, the limitation applies to the referents of the two main blocks.
On the one hand
Roberto Costa
, leader of the majority bloc of 26 senators of Together for Change in the Buenos Aires upper house, and on the other,
Gervasio Bozzano
, the man from La Cámpora who heads the bloc of 20 Peronist senators from the Frente de Todos .
While in the Chamber of
Deputies of the Province
, those who until now will not be able to stand for a new term are
ten deputies
from four of the six blocks.
Together for Change has five legislators Sandra Paris;
Maria Elena Torresi;
Soledad Rosío Antinori;
Santiago Nardelli;
and Diego Rovella.

For Everyone's Front, there are Pablo Garate;
Gabriel Godoy and Marisol Merquel.
While Fernando Pérez appears in the Federal Change block;
and for the block "November 17", Mario Giacobbe.
But the number is multiplied when reviewing the 135 municipalities of the Province.
Just as an example, in the most populated district of the country,
La Matanza, the president of the Frente de Todos block
, Ricardo Rolleri, the record councilor of the suburbs who has been on his bench since 1983, or María del Carmen Cardo (widow of Alberto Balestrini, former mayor of La Matanza).
The norm affects all political forces
, given that, for example, in Vicente López, governed by Juntos por el Cambio, of the 12 seats that are put into play, four councilors could not appear to renew their position.
Gervasio Bozzano, leader of La Cámpora and president of the Frente de Todos bloc in the provincial senator, is one of those who will not be able to stand for reelection by the law approved in 2016.
Finally, there was no judicial protection and dozens of legislators were unable to participate in this closing of lists to renew their positions, although by 2023 the panorama could be modified.
There are already councilmen, both Peronists and Juntos por el Cambio, who are beginning to press up the communal chiefs for
a place in the cabinets if they cannot be on the lists in two years
.
In La Cámpora they remember that they
did not follow the 2016 law,
and now they imposed themselves with the idea that it was not the time to argue for a few positions that they cannot renew.
They recognize that a renewal required by law could favor them later, but the argument they make is linked to the fact that in the middle of the second wave of coronavirus
that the discussion of re-re-elections take center stage "is not wise."
Ricardo Rolleri has been a councilor in La Matanza uninterruptedly since 1983 and could not present himself to renew his bench this year.

Under current law,
90 of the 135 mayors will not be eligible for re-election in 2023.
Of that total, 46 were elected by Together for Change;
39 for the Front of All;
one by Federal Consensus;
and two neighborhood members.
Some believe that in a matter of weeks and others that in the next summer, but the limit will finally be moved,
at least for one more period.
