On February 14, Carlos Kikuchi, Javier Milei
's main operator and owner ,
announced on his networks that
La Libertad Avanza
, the space for the libertarian, had closed an electoral agreement with
the Partido Nacional Unión Celeste y Blanco
, the seal he used in 2009 Francisco de Narváez to win the legislative elections to Nestor Kirchner.
"With joy we welcome the National Light Blue and White Union Party to our space. We thank its authorities for the trust and support for Milei's candidacy for the 2023 Presidency. We continue to build!" He wrote on the Twitter account of he.
What he did not mention in that tweet is that this national agreement
also included the province of Buenos Aires
, where the Unión Celeste y Blanco party is represented and is chaired by who at the time was
an official of Governor Axel Kicillof
.
The man in question, who lent Milei the party seal in the Province, is called
Fabián Luayza
and until less than a month ago he was Director of Education Equipment, the area managed by Alberto Sileoni.
According to the records of the Electoral Justice, Luayza is the president of the party in the Province of Buenos Aires.
The Kicillof management official resigned unexpectedly a few days after closing the provincial agreement with Milei
and his departure was shrouded in suspicion.
From the Province, when asked by
Clarín
, they said that it was exclusively for "personal reasons" and they tried to lower the price for the position he had in the provincial government.

Alert in Together for Change
The agreement in the Province was a warning sign for sectors of the Juntos opposition who have long suspected the
links between the ruling party and La Libertad Avanza in the main electoral district.
They believe that the ruling party encourages, stimulates and supports Milei to empower him in the district and reduce the chances of the Juntos candidates in the Province.
Today Together they have several pre-candidates listed for the governorship.
The deputies Diego Santilli and Cristian Ritondo appear, the mayor of Lanús Néstor Grindetti and Maximiliano Abad, president of the party in the Province, sounds from the UCR.
Milei has been growing in the Province but still does not have a defined candidate.
Some mention the deputy Carolina Píparo -she has more chances to fight for the mayor of La Plata- and even the lawyer Fernando Burlando, although from La Libertad Avanza they rule it out for now.
The gubernatorial election does not have a ballot and that is why the role of libertarians is so important: with their votes, they could define which sector of the rift wins.
Who is the appointed leader
As Director of Equipment,
Luayza managed an important box to be distributed in various municipalities
.
In fact, he was in charge of managing and delivering all kinds of school equipment and furniture to the thousands of schools in the Province.
On March 8, a few days before resigning from her position, the president of the School Council of Bragado, a municipality in the Province, thanked Luayza for the "new furniture for different schools in the City."
From his position, he toured the Province and met with mayors from all political sectors.
Luayza is a leader of Peronist origin
who also had a stint in the management of María Eugenia Vidal and who is referenced in Rafael de Francesco, a Peronist leader from Hurlingham who is running for mayor by Federal Consensus.
De Francesco is the one who controls the Unión Celeste y Blanco party at the national level.
When Kicillof took office, he gave Luayza a position in the Education area.
From the Province they maintain that he was not a leader of the close circle of the governor.
The Unión Celeste y Blanco seal is the same one that Francisco de Narváez used in 2009 to present himself as a candidate for national deputy in the elections that he won over Néstor Kirchner.
Daniel Scioli, Sergio Massa and Nacha Guevara were also on the former president's ballot as testimonial candidates.
Now, with the help of the former Kicillof official, it was Milei's turn to use it.
