Separate ballots and two ballot boxes, the invention they are studying in the City so that Together for Change does not break

Without the rejection of Mauricio Macri, Ciudad advances in the idea of ​​separating the national election from the Buenos Aires one, even if they vote on the same day. And thus contain Martin Lousteau.


With the decline of Mauricio Macri to the presidential candidacy, the electoral movements accelerated but the rope that supports, at each end, the PRO and radicalism, in the City of Buenos Aires, also tightened.

In principle, Macri has managed to make his cousin, Jorge,

remain as the only PRO candidate

for the succession of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.

A request that the aspirant to the Buenos Aires Executive himself raised permanently, that there be only one "yellow" competitor.

At the loss of Emmanuel Ferrario from the candidacy for the Head of Government,

this week or at the latest next Soledad Acuña will announce his decline

.

The Minister of Education has been sounding like Macri or Lousteau's running mate.

The case of Fernán Quirós is

more complex

.

Elisa Carrió decided to support his application, she has shared activities with the Minister of Health and does not want to be lowered.

Fearing his reaction, the most probable thing -

as Clarín anticipated

- is that in three or four weeks, based on the result of a survey, Quirós will step aside if Jorge Macri -as estimated- has a higher intention of votes.

With the polarization between Jorge Macri and Martín Lousteau resolved, the concern of Larretism began to be how to contain the radical aspirant.

It happens that the toughest sector of the PRO wants

Lousteau not to be tied to Larreta or Patricia Bullrich

, but to the presidential candidate of the UCR, either Gerardo Morales or Facundo Manes.

It is known, with the numbers of intention to vote today from any survey, it is not the best equation for the former Minister of Economy.

There was even speculation about what would happen if radicalism did not have a presidential candidate and no one would push for its candidate in the City.

What way out did the radicals and the larretismo find to sustain that alliance and that there is no rupture in the Buenos Aires version of Together for Change?

A concurrent choice.

It is

a sort of split between the national election and that of the City, but on the same day.

The Buenos Aires voter would find in the PASO of August 13

two ballots and two ballot boxes

: one to choose the presidential candidate, and another to designate the candidate for Buenos Aires Head of Government of JxC.

“It is a faculty that the Head of Government of the City has.

Decide if the election in the district is separate from the presidential one, even if it is on the same day.

And for that

there is time until April 13

”, they affirm at the Uspallata headquarters.

In Jorge Macri's environment they reject this resource because they consider that the PRO candidates should go together, separated from the radicals.

And they don't fear any rupture either because they believe that the incidence of Lousteau in the UCR is very limited.

However,

the main question was what Mauricio Macri would think

.

The former president - Clarín learned - admitted that the possibility of disengaging the Buenos Aires election from the national one was being analyzed.

In his own way,

he leaves that possibility open

.

It was also confirmed by leaders around him.

That had been the request that Larreta made to Macri during the meeting alone that both had last Friday.

Will the final agreement have been the sole candidacy in the PRO of Jorge Macri in exchange for not isolating Lousteau's candidacy?

Just in case, the radicals did a poll in

 the electoral justice

, and they were convinced that a presentation to request that they vote with different ballots -City and Nation- based on the need to strengthen Buenos Aires autonomy, will

not be rejected.


In this field of hypotheses, a Plan B

arose from macrismo

, but always along the same lines.

That there be four types of ballots: Larreta-J.Macri;

Larreta-Lousteau, Bullrich-J.Macri;

Bullrich-Lousteau.

Critics argue that it confuses the electorate and that it is a greater waste of ballots.

But not everything is said yet.
