The head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, defended this Tuesday his decision to
split the Buenos Aires elections,
despite the strong resistance of Mauricio Macri, Patricia Bullrich and other PRO leaders.
"In the City of Buenos Aires, the Electoral Code is very clear: you vote with a single ballot," he emphasized during an act at Parque Patricios.
Larreta remarked that the only decision he made in the last few hours was to "comply with the law."
"It's the most transparent way to vote," she said.
On Monday, the head of government of the City of Buenos Aires, head of government, announced that the Buenos Aires elections will be "concurrent" along with the national ones.
Mauricio Macri, who on Sunday had spoken out against this decision, spoke out with a brief tweet.
with a short post.
"What a deep disappointment," he said when reproducing a tweet from Maria Eugenia Vidal, the first who had also emphatically rejected the competition.
The holder of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, manifested itself in the same line.
The day after the repercussions and criticism that aroused within his party and the opposition alliance, Rodríguez Larreta reaffirmed the decision and avoided answering the questions.
"It is a law that implements a value in the City, a flag that all the members of the PRO and JxC have been proposing, which is the only ticket," he emphasized.
In addition, he pointed out that it is the most transparent way to vote and that it puts an end to the sheet list.
"That is why I made the decision as head of government, convinced that it contributes to transparency," he remarked.
When asked about the meeting he had with Jorge Macri, he limited himself to saying that it was a meeting within the institutional framework in his capacity as Buenos Aires Government Minister.
