In the convoluted scenario of Together for Change, Mauricio Macri made another movement before traveling to Italy that caused a stir and internal suspicions in the opposition space.
The former president received Facundo Manes in his villa in Los Abrojos, the radical with aspirations for the presidential candidacy faced with Gerardo Morales, close to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
At other times with marked differences, this time the founder of the PRO and the neurologist revealed
coincidental looks
in a suggestive way.
"It was a very good talk"
, they defined from both sides.
As
Clarín
announced , Macri was "pleasantly surprised" with the conversation, alone and for an hour and a half this Saturday.
"I appreciate that he is a guy who comes from outside of politics, healthy, I saw him with clear ideas," Macri conveyed before leaving to give a talk at the University of Bologna and connecting with activities of the FIFA Foundation.
“The dialogue was never cut off.
It was a meeting between the leader of the PRO and the radical with the most votes.
There may be ideological differences, but they are less than the challenge of winning the election and transforming Argentina, ”Manes summarized through his team.
And he left a reading in line with his purpose of ratifying his race to reach the Casa Rosada:
"Mauricio encourages him to be the candidate for president for radicalism."
Mauricio Macri also appeared with his cousin Jorge, in a sign for the candidacy in the City of Buenos Aires.
The views from both sectors showed
coincidences based on the cross tensions
in Together for Change in the run-up to the electoral definitions.
Macri's gestures and messages
Macri endorsed the confirmation of Rodríguez Larreta's candidacy, although he pondered the competition and supported Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Vidal.
In radicalism, from the meeting with Manes
he expressed his preference over Morales
.
The relationship between the former president and the governor of Jujuy was severed after the crosses last year.
Manes, in turn, works at the UCR as a counterweight to the approach to Rodríguez Larreta of both Morales and Martín Lousteau.
Macri supports Jorge Macri in the fight for the leadership of the City Government.
For the presidential race, the neurologist
could imply another obstacle
for the mayor of Buenos Aires.
In an eventual STEP between Rodríguez Larreta, Bullrich and Manes, the radical would dispute to a greater extent the portion of the centrist electorate.
“
Facundo always talked about going out on top.
It is one thing to emphasize the crack and want to break it, another to ignore it and talk about the future.
They are different approaches”, they differentiated the positions near Manes.
In a report with Clarín, Manes warned last week: "In Juntos they think that we have already won, but I do not see victory as certain."
Macri had taken Rodríguez Larreta's tone in the presentation of his candidacy as a false step in terms of electoral strategy, with a strong rejection of the crack: "It is not the
winning speech for an election at this time."
The reference in the Manes camp to the fact that it was a meeting between the PRO leader and the "radical with the most votes", for the almost 1,300,000 of the Buenos Aires PASO of 2021, was addressed to the inmate with Morales.
The doctor was annoyed because according to his eyes there was an
"operation" of attrition
from the National Committee to lower him from the presidential candidacy.
“In his double role as party president and candidate, Morales intends to lead the UCR to his personal strategy.
Facundo reaffirms that he is on the field and talks to everyone
”, they assured the Manes team.
Regarding the radical's criticism of Macri, there were coincidences in considering the episodes over.
The last one was when Manes maintained that during the administration of the former president there was
"institutional populism"
and that both he and Cristina Kirchner do not allow "thinking of another country."
On the side of the founder of PRO they conceded that the reaction to those statements had been exaggerated.
“He also criticizes radicalism.
We have nuances, but we agree on the broad line ”, they returned close to the deputy.
Manes continues with his campaign in the interior
Manes will continue with his tours -this weekend he passed through Ayacucho, Junín and Rauch- and will meet Alfredo Cornejo in Mendoza.
Macri left his messages before traveling, from his centrality in Together for Change and with signs that he would not go for his own second half, although with ambiguity so as not to rule it out.
“Mauricio today is not a candidate and is standing at the top.
If he shows up, no one plays and he wins
, ”reinforced a leader who dealt daily with the former president about that lack of definition that worries Rodríguez Larreta.
