Cambia San Luis brings together a

of political forces (from the PRO and the UCR to Libres del Sur and Avanzar San Luis, Claudio Poggi's party) that seek to win the governorship of San Luis.

The elections in San Luis are called for Sunday, June 11.

The senator's decision was made known after three days of tension at the PJ headquarters in San Luis, where part of the militancy that accompanies him showed up to request a definition from the party authorities on the request for nomination as the sole candidate of the ruling party.

Not only did the response not come, but on Sunday night the militants were evicted almost by force from the party premises, after the party representative appeared at the place and ordered their eviction under penalty of being accused of "usurpation." .

"We will continue our battle until we assure the people of San Luis the right to work, to an excellent education, access to decent housing, quality health care, and security for their families, until love and equality reign again." , said Adolfo Rodrígues Saá and pointed out that, when he left the Government of San Luis, the province "had full employment, 100 percent of the families had their own homes and there was a fiscal surplus."

"Everything was progress and well-being,"

he assured and contrasted today's reality with "50 percent poverty" in the population of San Luis.

In a surprising move, last month Senator María Eugenia Catalfamo, who reports to the governor of San Luis, broke with the Frente de Todos bloc and joined a new one with three other former government members and Alejandra Vigo from Cordoba.

Adolfo Rodríguez Saá is still a member of the Frente de Todos bench.
