2023-02-17T20:24:07.345Z


The Buenos Aires Minister of Health confirmed that he will compete within the PRO team to succeed the current mayor. He seeks to show himself in tandem with Rodríguez Larreta and Santilli, candidates in the Nation and in the Province.


Seeking to get ahead of the rest of the candidates,

Fernán Quirós

launched this afternoon as a pre-candidate for head of Government of the city of Buenos Aires, within the internal PRO, and also facing the electoral discussion within Together for Change.

Quirós made public his intention to be a Buenos Aires candidate through

a letter that he published on social networks

shortly after 5:00 p.m. In it, he detailed his intentions for the Buenos Aires elections, in which the PRO, until now has other three noted pre-candidates: Jorge Macri, Emmanuel Ferrario and Soledad Acuña.

"A step to take care of what has been done and improve our quality of life", is the title of the letter signed by Fernán Quirós in which he made his candidacy official and addresses the citizens of Buenos Aires.

In it, he highlights that "the learning" of these years "gave me the confidence to work on my candidacy for head of the City Government to take care of and promote what Mauricio and Horacio have achieved so far", in direct quotes to Macri and Rodríguez Larreta, heads of government in the last four terms.

In addition, he stressed that

"I want to be head of government to focus all efforts to achieve the integral well-being of people

, I want us to live better in Buenos Aires every day, leaving aside politics that is centered on itself."

And he announced that he will start visiting neighbors in the next few days.

Quirós had already anticipated that he was going to be a candidate in November of last year, but

it was only now that he decided to launch himself

, in a strategy that aims to consolidate him, at least from the media, as the Buenos Aires candidate of the tandem that will include Horacio Rodríguez Larreta as presidential candidate and Diego Santilli as a candidate for the Buenos Aires governorship.

Santilli has already launched this week, Larreta will do so at the beginning of March and Quirós chose this as the moment to come clean about his intentions.

The complete letter from Fernán Quirós

The letter that Fernán Quirós published on his social networks.

We met together in an unprecedented situation, we went through a very painful pandemic together, and we learned a lot in the midst of so much adversity.

At every step, with the leadership of Horacio and the work of a great team, we are committed to taking care of you and always speaking frankly.

We defended the value of the word, we put aside discussions that lead us nowhere and we prioritize the integral well-being of all those who live, study and work in the city of Buenos Aires.

I know that living in Argentina today is difficult.

The consequences of the pandemic deepened the crisis, damaging our quality of life, our bonds and our hope, but I also witnessed what we can achieve when we all pull in the same direction.

When we respect each other and build together around an objective and a life purpose.

That apprenticeship gave me the confidence to work on my candidacy for head of the city government to take care of and promote what Mauricio and Horacio have achieved so far.

I thought a lot about this decision together with people I value and I want to be head of government to focus all the management to achieve the integral well-being of people. I want us to live better in Buenos Aires every day, leaving aside politics focused on itself.

I will work as I have always done, open to dialogue and participation, firm in my convictions and values, without disqualifying the other, always putting the residents of the City first without losing temperance and seeking consensus with teams. professional, human and efficient.

That is the path that guides me.

Larreta, Quirós and Vidal together, three weeks ago, in the announcement of the drop in infant mortality.

We have done a lot and we can do more.

I want you and the people you love to feel safe inside and outside the home, day and night.

A city where you can enjoy the public space with your affections, valuing the history, culture and identity of each neighborhood, a city that gives you the opportunity to access adequate and affordable housing, where health and education are first rate and expand opportunities throughout your life.


I want a city that prepares you for your first job and gives you the tools that the Industries of the future demand.

We are going to eliminate obstacles and bureaucracies so that undertaking and investing is faster and easier, we need to build an ecosystem where diversity of the environment is respected and the free and full expression of people is cared for.

In the next few days I will be in your neighborhood to talk with you about the challenges, opportunities and dreams we have for the City.

I want to listen to you, I want to build the future of our city, and I want us to do it together.​


What will Larreta's strategy be like in the City?

Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, together with Emmanuel Ferrario who is in the race for the succession.

The current head of the Buenos Aires Government announced that he will support all the candidates that have emerged from the PRO who want to compete in the internal PASO that will decide his possible successor.

Hence, he comes giving

different signs with each of the applicants

.

Quirós was included at the beginning of the month in a very relevant announcement

: the historic drop in infant mortality levels in the City.

In that photo he also added María Eugenia Vidal, today dedicated to her national project to compete for the presidency, but who has also been raised as a possible candidate in the Buenos Aires area, especially after having led the ballot of deputies in the legislative ones of 2021.

Last week, meanwhile,

he was with Jorge Macri

in Colegiales, where they toured railway works.

Larreta's relationship with his Minister of Government has been strictly professional.

Jorge Macri, with Larreta.

The Minister of Government is another of the aspirants to the Buenos Aires succession.

At the time, the head of government did not like a photo that the former mayor of Vicente López shared with Patricia Bullrich, as well as the one that he published on networks a week ago with Hernán Lombardi, who joined the team of the former minister of Security to accompany her in her presidential project.

However,

he sees in the figure of his Minister of Government a possible pledge of change to achieve the support of Mauricio Macri in the race for La Rosada

.

Emmanuel Ferrario is the third actor in the PRO's internal dispute over the City

.

Larreta has been making several gestures of support for the current head of the Legislature, who joined the race for leadership at the end of last year and, they say, shows growth in the polls.

They were photographed together at the end of January and they have also been working on initiatives such as the creation of the so-called Open Lists, from which, among more than 300 participants, 34 will be included in the next lists of community members and legislators from Buenos Aires in this year's elections.

With

Soledad Acuña

, current Minister of Education, Larreta had also been showing herself until she had an impasse in her activities because she was a mother on December 27.

However, even on leave, she continued in office and maintains the expectation of her being a candidate.

The fifth actor in the Buenos Aires plot is

Martín Lousteau

, with whom Rodríguez Larreta maintains a very good relationship, but who will go to the Buenos Aires PASO of Together for Change for its Radical Evolution space.

Although the partnership with Lousteau is in good health, Larreta has repeated in recent months that his support in the campaign will be whoever he emerges as a candidate from the internal PRO.
