A few hours after Mauricio Macri lowered his thumb to the concurrent elections in the City -separate the categories of Buenos Aires positions from the national ones-, Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Vidal
came out to reinforce the rejection of this modality
analyzed as one of the alternatives so that
Martín Lousteau
competes in the PASO for the head of Government on "equal conditions" with
Jorge Macri
, already outlined to be the only PRO candidate.
Faced with pressure, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta assured that there are still a few days left
to confirm the voting scheme in the City
, so time will be taken to evaluate the different scenarios and continue negotiating.
The decision depends on the mayor of Buenos Aires and the deadline expires on Thursday the 13th.
What is the “concurrency” of elections about?
That they vote on the one hand for president and national deputies and separately for the head of government and Buenos Aires legislators, even if it is the same day.
In this way,
the national candidates would not share a ballot with the district ones, and Lousteau would not be left at a disadvantage
due to the difference between the voting intentions of the PRO aspirants and those of the radicalismo in the dispute to reach the Casa Rosada.
"If deemed necessary, the Executive Branch may sign the pertinent agreements for the purpose of holding the elections on the scheduled date for the national elections using a
system for issuing suffrage other than
the one in force at the national level", establishes article 60 of the Code Electoral of the CABA, which works as an argument for the claim of the radicals.
“
That was never done and we are already on the butt
”, Macri told
Clarín
this Sunday, although he endorsed the negotiations to contemplate the situation of Lousteau and avoid the risk of bankruptcy of Together for Change:
“We have to think about how we can improve the conditions of all and that they feel comfortable”.

The former president did not give more details, although one possibility is that both Jorge Macri and Lousteau
can take the ballots of all the candidates for president
.
Bullrich assured that he will only give it to the mayor -with a license- of Vicente López, but in that case the radical would have the chance to go with Rodríguez Larreta.
For Lousteau, it would be a
convoluted scheme with multiple combinations
: nine ballots in the event that three candidates for president and three for head of government compete.
"A swap, so that (Javier) Milei will benefit from only one
," they warned close to the senator.
Bullrich was more decisive than Macri in the rejection.
“We have said that
changing the electoral system in an electoral year is the most undemocratic
.
And are we going to do what we said in all the provinces that should not be done? ”, He said on LN +.
“It would be very contradictory to our way of thinking.
Why is there no equality of competition?
The equality of competition is that anyone can present themselves
”, pointed out the head of the PRO.
Vidal also expressed a sharp rejection.
“
It is another discussion away from the people.
I don't think the rules need to be changed in an election year because that doesn't make us credible, I think that's wrong in politics," agreed the former Buenos Aires governor, and continued: "Secondly, you don't have to force electoral rules that imply more expenses.
In the midst of the pain and difficulties of the people, there is no room for that discussion.
The porteños when they want to elect someone, they go and choose them beyond the system or how they vote”.
Despite these looks from three of the main PRO referents, Lousteau maintains the expectation that Rodríguez Larreta will separate the categories.
“We are confident that the head of government will comply with the provisions of the Electoral Code of the City.
We are not asking for a rule change.
Macri, Bullrich and Vidal are doing it.
The law states that the elections have to be separated ”, they marked in the environment of the radical.
“We are not inventing anything.
This is how they voted in the last 23 years, except when Macri pressed to unify them
”, they remarked about the election in 2019, the same day as the national one.
Lousteau made the point to the former president at a meeting last week, in which he also appealed to the "need to lower the levels of discussion" within Juntos por el Cambio.
“There are different alternatives for how to vote.
The deadlines are not yet expired, so we have time to decide it
, ”the resolution Rodríguez Larreta kicked in statements to Urbana Play.
At dusk this Monday, the Buenos Aires mayor once again shared an activity with Lousteau, this time in a market in Palermo.
Martín Lousteau and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, this Monday at the Argentine Market of Agri-Food Products and Producers (MAPPA), in Palermo.
In private, a Buenos Aires official ratified the purpose of stopping the pressure: “
It is great that they think, but it is a power of the head of government and we continue to analyze the competition.
There are several days left, we are going to see pros and cons ”.
One of the advantages of separating the categories would be to avoid the dragging of Milei's ballot to the Buenos Aires legislators.
In turn, in another chapter of the saga, Elisa Carrió endorsed the competition.
"
I find it interesting, especially from the point of view of the autonomy of the City
," said Facundo Del Gaiso, the head of the Civic Coalition block that had triggered a controversy with Jorge Macri by asking him to appear before the Superior Court of Justice to certify that he will be qualified as a candidate in the City.
From the environment of the Minister of Government they responded with statements by Fernán Quirós -supported by Carrió- last year, in which he said that he lived in San Fernando.
Another sample of the tension in the previous definitions.
