With an internal statement addressed to the Avellaneda UCR committee, which until this weekend he presided,
Luis Otero
announced his resignation from the space for which in 2019 he ran as a candidate for mayor for
Together for Change
in 2019.
The resignation of the journalist and lawyer came after the most complex weeks in relation to the integration of the lists for the September PASO.
As is often the case in all spaces, within the Juntos alliance there were negotiations, ridiculousness, strikes and loosening to define the names, both in the Third electoral section (where 18 provincial deputies are voted) and in Avellaneda.
The journalist, who would be thinking of resuming his profession, points to the head of the provincial UCR,
Maximiliano Abad
, for a lack of codes after the support that Otero gave him in the internal elections.
However, Otero remarks that his departure did not have to do with fights over charges, but due to internal issues that for now he prefers not to raise awareness.
"After STEP," he says, "I may speak."
Although he announced his departure by means of
a letter addressed to the Avellaneda committee
where he explained reasons, he commented that the idea was not to transcend beyond that framework.
"I sent that letter to the co-religionists, friends. I told them why (I was resigning) and it should not be circulating in the media because it was not intended for that. Less to generate a political bard, although it is expected that that will happen", commented.
Melisa Gorosito, new president of the Avellaneda UCR, and Luis Otero, who resigned from office.
The letter was written solely for internal circulation within the radical committee and even warns of the reservation to initiate legal actions in the event that the text is disseminated in other areas.
"There are times when we have to keep silent so as not to cause damage. The damage has already been generated because this has transpired, but I do not want to generate more," Otero explained.
Radicalism on the charts
Beyond the reasons that led Otero to make his decision, the concrete thing is that Avellaneda's radicalism was left out of the relevant places in the list of
candidates for provincial deputies
by the
Third Section
that, in the Juntos intern, accompanies the postulation to the Congress of Facundo Manes.
The first place on the ballot went to
Pablo Domenichini,
rector of the University of Almirante Brown referenced in
Martín Lousteau
.
Behind him are Nazarena Mesías (radical from Lanús), Walter Queijeiro (responds to the republican Peronism of Joaquín de la Torre) and Miriam Niveyro (also from Almirante Brown, close to Emilio Monzó).
Leaders from Esteban Echeverría, Lomas de Zamora, Quilmes, Berisso (2), Lobos (2) and Punta Indio complete the first 12 places.
Pablo Domenichini will head the list of Facundo Manes in the Third Section of the Province of Buenos Aires.
It comes from university politics.
The local UCR manifested itself through statements by radical councilor Fernando Landaburu, who, in statements to the local
political
media,
said that Otero “was the best candidate to head the list of provincial deputies but the balance of forces meant that this space ended in the force that responds to Martín Lousteau with Pablo Domenichini ”.
As for the
deliberative council of Avellaneda
, after the presentation of two lists, one dominated by the UCR and the other with the presence of Republican Peronism, there was an agreement and only one will go on the Manes ballot,
headed by the radical Rubén Sanazi.
Meanwhile, Otero's departure leaves the chairmanship of the committee of the Radical Civic Union for the first time in charge of a woman,
Melisa Gorosito
.
who before the roster agreement was mentioned for second place on Sanazi's ballot.
