With the Buenos Aires elections on the same dates as the national ones, in Together for Change speculation was unleashed on how the shared ballots
between the candidates for president and head of government
will be assembled .
The possible combinations generate dilemmas and discussions depending on the internal bids, for the moment with multiple open scenarios at the start of the negotiations.
"
There are still a lot of things to discuss, nothing is closed
," warned a senior City official about the way in which the electoral offer will be presented in the district, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta's determination to maintain unification has already been practically confirmed. The elections.
"All decisions are in line with not unfolding," he ratified.
One of the discussions will revolve around Martín Lousteau.
Will the senator be able to compete in the PASO for head of government with the ballot for president of Rodríguez Larreta?
Jorge Macri has already launched for the PRO, in the coming days the mayor of Buenos Aires will give further impetus to the candidacy of Fernán Quirós and Soledad Acuña and Emmanuel Ferrario also signed up.
As the weeks go by, the outlook will clear up.
“Horacio is going to support the PRO candidate or candidates, unless someone does not support him.
Martín can take advantage of everything he wants to show what was done in the City, he and radicalism were part of it.
But when the election arrives and there is a STEP, the PRO plays on one side and the UCR on the other," said a leader involved in the electoral strategy of the head of government.
Others were not so strict, with the perspective that
it will depend on internal negotiations
-Mauricio Macri supports his cousin- and with radicalism.

“
There is no way that they will deny us the ballot.
Most likely there are cross formulas.
Horacio cannot leave Martín with less competitiveness than other candidates”, expressed close to Lousteau confidence that the agreements between a sector of the PRO and the UCR will release eventual traps on the combination of tickets in the Capital.
Beyond the fact that Gerardo Morales and Facundo Manes confirm their presidential aspirations, for Lousteau to compete on "equal terms" would mean being able to also go with the candidacy of Rodríguez Larreta.
In turn, the senator announced that he will seek to take
a PRO referent from candidate to deputy boss
-in the City it is defined after the PASO, but he could announce it before- and in his team they mention from Acuña and Ferrario to María Migliore.
“If there is a radical candidate for president, why is the PRO going to give Lousteau the ticket?
”, they questioned close to Jorge Macri, and warned that an agreement between Rodríguez Larreta and the senator would cause a political cost due to the possible rejection by the PRO electorate in the City.

The former president supports him in the dispute over the succession of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
Patricia Bullrich will wait for the stage to settle.
"You have to order a bit, there can't be so many candidates
," transmitted a leader from his sector, and also left open the prospects for negotiations for the combinations between the categories for national and Buenos Aires offices:
"We work so that the City wins it the PRO, but Patricia can't be the only one with only one ticket”.
Elisa Carrió expressed her preference for Quirós, although the Civic Coalition indicated that it will depend on both national and local discussions.
Ricardo López Murphy could also compete for the succession of Rodríguez Larreta and at the Uspallata headquarters
they do not rule out María Eugenia Vidal
, even though she remains focused on a national projection, as an alternative that could unleash the knots of conflict in the City.
From radicalism they even promote the possibility of implementing
electronic voting for the Buenos Aires categories
-for president and national deputies it will be with a paper ballot-, a way of "separating" the elections even when they are held on the same date.
In addition to avoiding bids for the combinations, the risk that with the unification Javier Milei will considerably swell the number of legislators in the City works as an argument.
In the city government they dismissed it: "It would not be impossible, but today we do not see it."
