Just hours after announcing that he will not be a Juntos por el Cambio candidate for the 2023 elections,
Mauricio Macri recorded an interview this Sunday afternoon
that is broadcast tonight on LN+.
"I realized that I
don't need revenge
," said the former president when analyzing his decision not to compete for the position again.
Parallel to the dissemination of this interview, through his social networks,
Macri published another video
in which he addressed
his followers
directly and asked them not to
feel "abandoned"
by his decision to drop the presidential candidacy.
In selfie mode and hours after his announcement that changed the electoral scenario, the former president admitted that it
took him a long time to make the decision
.
"It was a very special day, very difficult months to end up making this decision.
It hurts me too
, but it hurts more to see some of you who are hurt, who feel abandoned. The truth is that it is not like that," he said before the messages that came from his followers
on Instagram
.
Along these lines, he insisted that his decision not to be a candidate will be something
"better for everyone."
"Believe me,"
Ella requested.
"We are going to be more together than ever, fighting, fighting, defending our right to grow, develop and be happy," he continued in his post, which quickly exceeded 500 comments.
And he concluded: "
From this place we are going to do many more things together
than from the other."
Mauricio Macri's announcement, with a video on his social networks
The former president
took over the electoral agenda
this Sunday morning, by posting a video on his social networks in which he confirmed that he will not run as a candidate for president in 2023.
In that other recording that was not for a Sunday cable television program, Macri asked to be "attentive" and said that Together for Change overcame complex moments, highlighted the unity of the space and assured that it has competitive candidates.
"I want
to ratify the decision that I will not be a candidate
in the next election and I do so convinced that we must enlarge the political space for the change that we are initiating," he said.
In addition, he strongly targeted
the figure of Alberto Fernández
by assuring that the Argentines are not going to allow themselves to be "trampled" by populism in the next election.
"We are never going to have a puppet for president again," he said.
Strictly speaking, the founder of the PRO never had any intention of running for
this year's
election .
Last year, in the meetings he held in his Vicente López offices, he himself told his interlocutors that the economic situation that the next president will encounter would be very delicate and that it would be seen in a much worse context than what he expected for this anus.
His intention, as he said at the time, was to continue strengthening Together for Change to help consolidate the political power necessary to put the reforms that he himself expected on track.
Macri also said that the future, in this sense, is better than the one he found in 2015, when he took office with a very unfavorable situation in Congress that contrasts with the progress that Together for Change had in this area in recent years.
