While in the ruling party the inmates for the closing of lists seem to focus on Santa Fe, with the now former Defense Minister Agustín Rossi as the main star, the fights within Juntos por el Cambio are multiplying in different provinces.
And especially at the UCR.
The tensions no longer recognize territorial limits, to the point that a Buenos Aires deputy goes out to cross the Jujuy governor due to friction between Buenos Aires candidates, and in parallel a senator from the City attacks a candidate from Córdoba for a phrase from a spot then transcribed to a tweet .
Everything in the media and on the networks.
Specifically, now
Emiliano Yacobitti
charged against
Gerardo Morales
, governor of Jujuy, who accused
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta
of being behind "attacks" against Facundo Manes by different opposition figures, especially Elisa Carrió, spiritual head of the Civic Coalition.
The deputy for the City, Lousteau's right hand in the Capital UCR,
questioned the "bosses" (or CEO's) originating from the opposition coalition
and said that they are the ones who can
"threaten the unity of Together for Change"
, in a clear reference to Morales.
That the UCR has a list in the Province of Buenos Aires headed by @ManesF is a great achievement for the party, for Together for Change and for the country.
We incorporate a figure with an innovative perspective that oxygenates the political system as a whole.

“That the UCR has a list in the Province of Buenos Aires headed by Facundo Manes is a great achievement for the party, for Together for Change and for the country.
We incorporate a figure with an innovative perspective that oxygenates the political system as a whole ”, wrote Yacobitti.
The former president of Buenos Aires radicalism linked the candidacy of Manes with the armed forces that the mayor of CABA does at the national level, to position himself for 2023. “It goes on the
same path as the construction of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta,
which seeks to expand the space and energize it, knowing that diversity and different views strengthen us and make us more competitive ”.
“Argentina needs Juntos por el Cambio to be competitive to curb authoritarian overflows.
That it be strengthened and expanded so that in 2023 there will be another government
, with other priorities, that will put us on the path of development with inclusion, ”he said.
And he added: “If something can threaten the unity of Together for Change, it is to
stop its renewal on behalf of its original 'bosses' (or CEO's)
.
JXC is a living force because, fundamentally, it is and is in its voters ”.
Yacobitti's messages, viralized from his space, targeted the governor of Jujuy, who on Thursday was blunt in questioning Larreta about the wave of criticism against Manes.

Privately, from Lousteau's space, they are more categorical and launch an irony against those who question the strategy outlined in Uspallata, the seat of the Buenos Aires government.
They say that there are radicals who prefer to
be "employees" of Macri than "partners of Larreta."
From the opposite sidewalk, they assign those words to the tacit agreement between Larreta and Lousteau so that in 2023 the Buenos Aires UCR succeeds the PRO in the city government headquarters, an idea resisted by several figures of the party led by Patricia Bullrich who ask not deliver a bastion own allies.
Tensions rise as the campaign begins.
On Thursday, Morales - who warned the UCR that he wants to run for president in 2023 - had no qualms about targeting the Buenos Aires head of government.
In radio statements he stated:
- ”
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta is responsible for the attacks on Facundo Manes.
He thinks he is the owner of Together for Change and has put on the president's suit before becoming one
. "
- "
Just that we have always convinced a radical to enter politics, he is attacked. The problem is that if he had entered politics through the PRO, there is no problem, the issue is that he enters through radicalism
."
- ”
Until they stop with this barrage of attacks against Facundo, at least I, as governor, will not sit at the JxC table.
Let the president of the party they see take care of.
I don't know how they are going to do it, but they stop her with Facundo
. "
But that of Morales and Yacobitti was not the only public arm wrestling of statements.
In the previous hours there was another spicy counterpoint between Martín Lousteau and Mario Negri.
The Lousteau-Negri crossing
An effusive campaign video uploaded to social networks triggered another fight between two UCR heavyweights in the national orbit.
It all started with a selfie recording of Negri, already launched as a candidate for senator against Luis Juez.
Mario Negri celebrated the triumph of Marcos Carasso to preside over the UCR of Córdoba.

"
Córdoba has not had a powerful voice in the Senate for years
. Because the provincial government, due to its difficulties, has arranged with the national government," the head of the JxC interblock in deputies launched Wednesday at noon, seeking to reach the Senate of the hand of an agreement with the former Minister of Tourism, Gustavo Santos, a reference for Macri.
In that short video, he defined the Upper House as
"the den of Cristina Kirchner's power
.
"
And he added: "I feel empowered and able to turn on the lights of the Senate."
Negri synthesized his message in a tweet published on Wednesday at 12:18 p.m. that did not go unnoticed by Lousteau, who ten hours later came out to cross it unceremoniously.
"I want to believe that you think out of ignorance and not with bad intentions,"
he replied.
"Laura Rodríguez Machado and Ernesto Martínez are extraordinary senators with whom we work to confront Kirchnerism," the former ambassador to the United States defended them.
"Many times they had the toughest positions in our block.
I imagine that both are waiting for an apology,
" claimed Lousteau, in an episode that seemed to reissue the bid they had in the last internal elections in Córdoba, last March.
I want to believe that you think out of ignorance and not with bad intentions.
@laurmachado and @Martinez_EF are extraordinary senators with whom we work to confront Kirchnerism.
Many times they had the toughest stances on our block.
I imagine they both expect apologies.

In the Córdoba Committee election, the former Minister of Economy traveled to campaign for Rodrigo De Loredo, who was facing the Negri sector and Ramón Mestre, whose candidates, Marcos Carasso and Gladys Ruetsch, finally prevailed.
In that campaign, there were crossovers until the final vote count, when Lousteau tweeted an
off-the-record
message
that they circulated from Negri's team of candidates in which they claimed victory when, according to the senator, there was no reliable data on the results.
The verbal pyrotechnics was turned to social networks, where Lousteau said: “To definitively defeat Kirchnerism, a bigger and better Together for Change is necessary.
May he win, rule and win again.
And for that the UCR has to be better and bigger ”.
“A UCR that is encouraged to compete and win.
Let him get out of the comfort of the positions, get rid of the minority complex and want to take charge of managing to transform reality, "he chicaneó and accused the winners of the internship of having wanted to truncate the election with maneuvers.
Negri's response was categorical: "I preferred at all times not to answer the grievances, some of them said from outside the province," he said. "I would tell those who lost yesterday that you
have to be a good loser,
" he added.
Now, again, De Loredo appears on the list competing against Negri.
The current Cordovan councilor supports the candidacy for senator of Luis Juez, who has Laura Rodríguez Machado and Héctor “La Coneja” Baldassi as PRO candidates.
The closure of Cordovan lists drew attention within Together for Change, since in the previous one it seemed that Negri, Mestre and De Loredo could unite in a 100% radical ballot, a whole message to the PRO that seeks to gain ground on Cordovan soil,
"We have to achieve the unity of radicalism and build a joint strategy, not dispersed. Radicalism must lead Together for Change", had been the message of the province leadership at the end of June.
That did not happen, the agreement hatched and the UCR presented candidates on two lists together with the PRO.
Now, the public statements of Mario Negri, about why he wants to go to the Senate, and of Gerardo Morales, crossing Larreta for criticizing Manes, generated immediate replies from Lousteau and Yacobitti, a kind of
alter ego
of the economist.
The symbolic fight hides the generational tensions in some inmates who promise to test any "coexistence manual" within Together for Change in the face of the 2021 elections, but with their sights set on 2023.
