First with a staging of unity with Facundo Manes, and well into the night with a celebration in his own bunker, Diego Santilli led the celebration of the result of Together in the province of Buenos Aires, for the confirmation of prevailing in the internal and the
surprising triumph of the opposition coalition
in the main district of the country.
In La Plata and Costa Salguero there was euphoria due to the favorable scenario for the generals.
“Today the people of Buenos Aires went to vote and gave their verdict.
They decided for the values of freedom, of respect for institutions.
Today we were together, we made a great choice.
We knew that resignation could not win us
and you made it possible, "said Santilli after 11pm in the Vonharv room, in Gonnet, on an open-air stage before about a thousand people.
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, strengthened by the result of his commitment to the Province, celebrated in Costa Salguero.
Together, the challenge will be to
contain by November the votes of both lists
that, added together, surpassed the ballot of the Frente de Todos, headed by Victoria Tolosa Paz.

“This November 14 we have to continue growing and that starts tomorrow. We are going to work to
win that election that allows us to change history
, have a better province and a better country ”, Santilli closed his speech with his eyes on the generals and what would represent a triumph for the presidential project of Rodríguez Larreta and his to succeed Axel Kicillof. The head of government was especially thanked, then also to Mauricio Macri, Patricia Bullrich and Elisa Carrió.
The referents of the PRO went
from caution to the celebration
after the loading of the first official data and the arrival of the numbers of about a thousand witness tables. Some were waiting for the burden of the Third Electoral Section, others were already beginning to celebrate:
"We won the Province"
, they said without hiding a certain surprise. In the previous one, Santilli had ensured that the objective was for Kirchnerism not to win by more than one digit, with the prospect of growing by November. Even on Sunday the strategists considered it a good choice to exceed 30 points and that the Frente de Todos did not reach 40, the opposite scenario to what happened.
Prudence definitively yielded when
the advantages in the interior of Buenos Aires
and in municipalities of the First Section
were confirmed
, and in some of the Third the difference was less than expected in favor of Kirchnerism.
For the dispute in the generals, decisive in the bet of Rodríguez Larreta with his former Buenos Aires deputy chief with an eye on his presidential aspirations, one of the main objectives will be to
retain the votes
of Manes.
"Whatever happens with the result,
we will continue working together
so that on November 14 we find all of us winning the election," Santilli said early, with the speech already focused on that purpose.

Each one with its own bunker -Santilli in Gonnet, Manes in La Plata-, and in a third room in common to be shown to the press, the setting of the unit passed between
tensions and resentments
between the two spaces.
After the negotiations, they came out to talk around 8 p.m., first separately and then together.
“
All together we are going to beat Kirchnerism in November
, but we have already learned that it is not enough to beat them.
We have to win and transform Argentina, ”Manes insisted, distancing himself from the PRO.

"A coalition has to have differences, but the thick line of the republic will be protected by all of us,
" added the neuroscientist. “Thanks for jumping in and making the commitment.
We are a diverse space, as you say, but we are together
”, returned Santilli. Their fists were hit, the winner at times took him by the shoulder and at the end there was an almost formal hug.
The winner had sought to
avoid the crossings
during the campaign, by the polls that they gave him in favor and to advance the scenario that was confirmed this Sunday, and prepare the ground to face the next section. In the Manes sector misgivings persisted, although they were open. “You
have to hit the two electorates. It depends on them too. 45% of our percentage are not voters of Juntos
”, they said near the neurologist.
Beyond the initial noises, when Manes asked that the City's resources not be used to campaign, and about the end in which he included in the criticism of Kirchnerism and Macrism for the "failure" of his efforts, with the As a result, the larretismo

If we hadn't done this, we wouldn't have beaten Kirchnerism,
”Manes later said.
Santilli then moved to the PRO bunker, in Gonnet, where he waited a few hours to confirm the advantage of Juntos, together with the two lists, against Kirchnerism. "
Thank you Facundo because you expanded us
, because you made us better, because we grew in diversity," he continued with his preaching to the rival list.
