Mauricio Macri did not rule out moving to Córdoba, the district that best treats him electorally, although he will not go before PASO. The former president will be in Bahía Blanca this Tuesday afternoon to show himself once again with Diego Santilli. In the Mediterranean province, he decided to avoid his presence in the
overheated internship
of Juntos por el Cambio. The former president supports the list headed by Mario Negri and Gustavo Santos, but not only are there PRO leaders on another ballot, but
the dispersion includes national referents
: Patricia Bullrich supports Luis Juez and Rodrigo de Loredo, and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta se declares absent.
"I feel so Cordovan,"
said Macri in his attempt to promote Santos, his former Minister of Tourism whom he seeks to install as the next candidate for governor.
He did so in interviews in which he also praised Negri for his role as head of the interblock of Deputies.
Bullrich, on the other hand, expressed his endorsement to Judge with the presence of Florencia Arietto and Maximiliano Guerra, two leaders of his space who traveled to the province.
"It is time for those who are not lukewarm,
" Arietto shot.
From the sector of the head of the PRO they assured that there was an agreement so
that no one would go to Córdoba
in the final stage of the campaign.
Close to the former president, they dismissed him, although they considered that the support was already evident with the public statements.
"His concern goes through the province of Buenos Aires.
In Córdoba the PRO is on two lists and the idea is not to generate tense situations.
Everyone knows that Mauricio supports Santos, but he will continue campaigning whoever wins," argued a leader The polls showed
even numbers
between Negri and Judge, making it an open-ended dispute.
Macrista Soher El Sukaria seconded Negri on the Senate ballot and radicals Soledad Carrizo and Ramón Mestre are behind Santos for Deputies.
The businesswoman Carmen Alvarez Rivero is the judge's running mate, and De Loredo for the Lower House is followed by
Laura Rodríguez Machado and Héctor Baldassi
, both from the PRO.
There are two other ballots, one headed by Javier Bee Sellares and Laura Sesma, and the other by Griselda Baldata and Dante Rossi.
Together for Change will put into play in this election the
two majority senators and five deputies
, of the nine who are elected this year.
Mario Negri, Luis Juez, Griselda Baldatta and Laura Sesma, candidates for senators of Together for Change in Córdoba.
Rodríguez Larreta seeks to balance.
After images with the Judge and De Loredo circulated, the head of government left to distance himself from the inmate.
"I am not involved in the PASO of Córdoba, I am going to support the list that arises from the elementary school,
" he said in Necochea, during a campaign tour with Santilli.
Both sectors are awarded their support underground.
The
radical division
in the province also involved national referents: Gerardo Morales on Negri's side, Martín Lousteau with De Loredo. Elisa Carrió was
on Macri's side
, and deputies Maximiliano Ferraro and Juan Manuel López came out to support Negri in the face of Arietto's criticism.
“I am grateful that Mauricio has given us the confidence. I was president of the interblock for four years during his tenure, always in the minority.
I put up with the rags through thick and thin
”, Negri sought to take advantage of Macri's support, in order to attract the hard vote that the former president retains in the province. In 2019 it exceeded 61% and got
32 points from Alberto Fernández
. In the 2015 ballot he had reached 71%,
930,000 difference with Daniel Scioli
, a key figure for the final advantage of 678,000 votes.
“We come very well.
It would be awkward for Macri to come.
A former president who has acquired centrality would not do well to get out of neutrality.
And the people of Cordoba do not like to be told what to do, ”the Judge had warned.
Also Baldassi, one of the PRO's referents in the province, went out to the crossroads.
"As an individual you can support, for a particular taste, but we must not forget that
the four lists that we compete are working for him to be president,
" said the former referee and current deputy.
From Buenos Aires they will try to ensure that the internal causes the least possible injuries in the face of the generals.
"We want it
to be resolved quickly
and raise the hand of the winner," they tried to reconcile with Macri, who has already expressed his preference.
