Luis Juez, candidate for governor of the province of Córdoba for Together for Change, referred to Mauricio Macri, who this Tuesday recognized the "short circuits" with the radical leader and added that he has a "pending conversation" with him.
"When the opportunity arises, we will get together. We need all the leaders of Together for Change who come to say that Córdoba has to be led by Together for Change, something that has not happened in the last eight," he said in a dialogue with radio
The Network
.
The national senator for Córdoba was prudent in not announcing his support for any of the opposition coalition's presidential candidates, and insisted that Macri and all the leaders who go to the province collaborate "so that the victory is forceful."

Jorge Macri insists that the PRO must have a single candidate in the City
Jorge Macri, Minister of Government of the City of Buenos Aires.
The Minister of Government of the City of Buenos Aires and pre-candidate for head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri, insisted on the need for the PRO to present a single candidacy in the district after the decision of former President Mauricio Macri to announce that he will not be a candidate in this year's elections.
"I hope that we can order ourselves from the PRO, because having more than one candidate [in the City of Buenos Aires] and only one from the UCR is rare, but I trust that everything will be given," Jorge Macri highlighted in dialogue with
FM millennium
.
The Buenos Aires official is one of the candidates for the succession of Larreta in the City, and has the political support of both his cousin Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich.
However, from Larretismo, figures such as the Buenos Aires Ministers of Health and Education, Fernán Quirós and Soledad Acuña, are promoted to obtain a fifth consecutive term of Together for Change (JxC), while the national senator Martín Lousteau aspires to be Head of Government from radicalism.

Axel Kicillof, on Mauricio Macri's decision not to be a candidate: "He resigned without anyone asking him to stay"
The Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, maintained that Mauricio Macri's decision not to run as a presidential candidate in the next elections "is not a gesture of grandeur, perhaps reality."
During the inauguration of a kindergarten in Berisso, the provincial president criticized the "worshippers of the market" and ironized the former president's decision: "he resigned without anyone asking him to stay."
In this way, the president of the Province of Buenos Aires came out to criticize the former head of state for stepping aside in his presidential candidacy, which generated repercussions in Juntos por el Cambio and the Frente de Todos.

The intern burns in the Conurbano: La Cámpora has no candidates and Evita presses with a million-dollar box
We must recognize the self-esteem and appreciation that Máximo Kirchner seems to feel for himself.
He is a National Deputy and President of the PJ in Buenos Aires but he does not need to take care of the manners like when he organized an act and decided to get on a paravalanche to shout while almost all the leaders were waiting for him on stage.
The fact itself is not relevant, but two people who frequented and frequent him point out that this type of behavior says a lot about this stage of his life, personal and political.

The national deputy of the Frente de Todos Eduardo Valdés assured that the fact that former president Mauricio Macri has decided not to run as a presidential candidate in this year's elections "generates respect".
"I think there was a desire to play a second half, he warmed up, the preseason may not have been physically for this. They tell me that the family did not accompany him in the play and that also influences," Valdés pointed out.
In dialogue with
Futurock
, the national legislator stated: "On my part, he generates respect. What he did is fine."

Fernanda Vallejos: "Alberto Fernández has no chance of winning even the figurines"
Former Kirchner deputy Fernanda Vallejos was lapidary about President Alberto Fernández's chances of being re-elected and maintained that the "natural" candidate for the Frente de Todos is Cristina Kirchner.
"He has no chance of winning even the figurines, he has the same karma of unpopularity that pursues Mauricio Macri, who wants to go to an election with a losing candidate?", he expressed in dialogue with Radio Con
Vos
.
The economist also analyzed that an electoral defeat would leave the Fernández government in a bad situation until the next administration takes office in December, in the midst of a "very complex economic situation."

Surprise: they did a new electoral survey in the Province and there was a tie for the governorship
Two tendencies were confirmed and one entered into discussion.
A new electoral survey in the province of Buenos Aires ratified the strength of Axel Kicillof as the candidate of the Frente de Todos and the advantage of Diego Santilli in the Juntos por el Cambio internship, but opened up a mystery in the fight for space, with a striking parity at the poles of the crack.
The poll that brings this Buenos Aires photo is from Circuitos, a small consultant that has been measuring politics for years.
Her studies tend to circulate in pro-government and left-wing circles.

"In any case, it has to be resolved in the STEP," Rodríguez Larreta stated in dialogue with Cadena 3.
In this context, the PRO leader specified: "I am proud that people from my Cabinet team have the possibility of succeeding me as chief of the city government. For me, continuity is very important to continue with the plan for Buenos Aires".
In this way, the Buenos Aires president gave his support to the candidacies of Soledad Acuña and Fernán Quirós.
While Martín Lousteau, from Evolución Radical, also wants to get into the fight for the head of government.

Jorge Capitanich: "That the inmate of the PASO is Cristina, Alberto and Sergio is an alternative"
The governor of Chaco, Jorge Capitanich, during the presentation of his book.
The governor of Chaco, Jorge Capitanich, affirmed that it is "an alternative" that vice president Cristina Kirchner, president Alberto Fernández and the economy minister, Sergio Massa, compete in the PASO.
"We have three key actors within the space, which are: Cristina [Kirchner], Alberto [Fernández] and Sergio [Massa]. Is a PASO design possible with all three participating in a primary election? It is an issue that raises doubts but it is an alternative. That none is presented is also an alternative. That there is a single formula is also an alternative, just as there are several competing formulas".
In dialogue with
AM530
, he specified: "Cristina Kirchner is the undisputed leader of our space, she is the builder of the 2019 electoral triumph and obviously has a stellar participation."

The head of the PRO and presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich affirmed that she has a chance of beating Vice President Cristina Kirchner in this year's presidential elections, in the event that the former president decides to present herself as a candidate for the Frente de Todos.
"I beat Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as a person and I beat what she represents as a model of decapitalization, from an increasingly large State against an increasingly smaller private sector, to a country full of obstacles and taxes, where you increasingly have more stocks. I win that country represented by Cristina because it wins a project of freedom, openness, reasonable taxes, "said Bullrich.
In a dialogue with radio
La Red,
the leader of Together for Change specified: "If I had to reason with the way in which Kirchnerism reasons, I would say that I am going to face Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, because since it could not be candidate when [Daniel] Scioli was a candidate she looked at him out of the corner of her eye. When she anointed Alberto Fernández a candidate but she became vice president as a way to control power, although it didn't work out very well for her but it was her intention."
"If I had to think about putting myself in the place of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, I would say that the candidate [of the ruling party] should be her because of what she has shown," he concluded.

Mauricio Macri created a speech with artificial intelligence to highlight the backwardness in Argentina: "We have a 20th century agenda"
Mauricio Macri began his speech at the great annual dinner of the Fundación Libertad that took place at the Goldencenter convention center, in the City of Buenos Aires, reading from his mobile phone.
However, the intrigue about that attitude did not last long, because the former president quickly cleared up the mystery by revealing that he used artificial intelligence to create those words and thus expose, in some way, the backwardness that affects Argentina in different aspects.
"We have a 20th century agenda," he graphed.
"I want to say good night to everyone. It is an honor for me to be at the closing of the annual lunch of the Fundación Libertad. This is an organization that for years has worked for the defense of freedom and the democratic values of our country Today I want to refer to the importance of these values in the world that...", he began, looking at his cell phone.

The national deputy of Avanza Libertad, José Luis Espert, confirmed that he is in dialogue with the leaders of Together for Change -including Mauricio Macri- to form in the province of Buenos Aires "a new opposition space against Kirchnerism" and that intends to go to a "mega STEP".
In dialogue with LN+, the liberal economist, who claims to be a Buenos Aires governor, assured that his teams continue touring the territory while working "very hard."
"The news of the last few days is that we have begun to talk with Together for Change," he said.

Mauricio Macri: "If there is a leader of Together for Change who best represents the moment, I will say so"

A few hours have passed since he published the video in which he reaffirmed that he will not be a presidential candidate this year, and Mauricio Macri is concerned about saying two things specifically directed at Juntos por el Cambio voters and PRO candidates.
"I did not leave, I am not leaving, I am here", is one of them.
And the other, more specific, is a message that must generate a knot in the digestive system of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Vidal, the three macristas who asked the former president to explicitly communicate that he was not going to show up.
"If at some point I see clearly that due to the circumstance there is one of those leaders who has the characteristics to better represent the scenario in which we are, I will say it there, I will say it," says Macri, and that is a reminder for none of the three can rest easy during the campaign, thinking that the former president was going to refrain from expressing his preference.
These are the main sections of an interview that he had this Monday with Clarín.
