Even though they intend to lower the public confrontation, the tension within Juntos por el Cambio does not subside and the main PRO leaders maintain their opposing positions after Horacio Rodríguez Larreta's decision to separate the national elections from those of the City , which caused a strong rejection of Mauricio Macri, Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Vidal.
A good part of the opposition presidential candidates presented their proposals for the agricultural sector on Wednesday afternoon in La Rural.
A while before, at a lunch with businessmen on the same property, Macri
again referred to what he took as a rudeness from the Buenos Aires head of government.
Even when some tried to turn the page on that conflict and avoided talking about it, like Patricia Bullrich, the internal dispute crossed the day in the halls of Palermo.
“
What I questioned is that Horacio has not worked as a team.
In that he was wrong.
He should have sat down with his party and mainly with María Eugenia and Patricia, ”said Macri at the meeting of the Inter-American Council of Commerce and Production.
Less emphatic than the previous days, in any case, he ratified his
rejection of the concurrent elections in the City
, that is to say, the same day but with different systems, so that the candidates for head of government, Buenos Aires legislators and community members will not be attached to the ballots of the candidates for president.
This scheme benefits Martín Lousteau, and the rest of the main PRO references were faced with Rodríguez Larreta.
"There is a current of leaders in all sectors who forgot about the epic and who
say 'where is mine?
' presidency-, although in this context it was also interpreted based on the wrestling in the PRO.
Rodríguez Larreta also appealed to words that he had already pronounced and they acquired another resonance.
"
What matters is the vote of the people
," he replied in a radio interview in which he was asked about the extent to which Macri's support is decisive in the face of the next electoral dispute.
“There is no possibility of a break in Together for Change.
We don't all think alike, there may be differences.
We have the STEP.
In the City the law is very clear, you vote with a single ballot.
I support it and I take charge
”, She ratified in La Rural.
There he promised to achieve "zero deficit in one year", move towards exchange rate unification "as quickly as possible" and eliminate withholdings on 200 products from regional economies.
“
A solid political agreement is required to pass laws from day one.
Everything else is verse.
For that, dialogue is necessary.
That is what Argentina needs.
And Management.
People who know, experience, years in the State to make things happen ”, emphasized the mayor of Buenos Aires, in a preview of what will be part of his campaign speech.
A while before, Bullrich argued that he had already given his position to
distance himself from the conflict
over the voting system in the City.
"The future of Together for Change is to be a government", he tried to dismiss an escalation that would generate a greater crisis in the opposition coalition, and also displayed some axes of his position for the dispute over the presidential candidacy.
“
There is no need to be afraid of the debate in the PASO.
Argentina needs character, impetus and courage to bring about transformations”, he remarked in a contact with journalists.
In his presentation, he had also expressed that imprint, to eliminate withholdings -music to the ears of the audience- and give "greater speed" to the measures to shrink the State and give impetus to the private sector.
There were almost no crosses or shared images between the candidates.
When Rodríguez Larreta arrived, Bullrich and Macri had long since left.
In his turn, Gerardo Morales referred to the dispute between the partners.
“We radicals like the internal ones, but
now we have to say 'calm down PRO
'.
We have the challenge of taking charge of the country, ”he chicaneed.
The governor of Jujuy had supported Rodríguez Larreta's decision, both with statements in the media and with a statement from the National Committee of the UCR.
Javier Milei, Juan Schiaretti and Miguel Pichetto also exhibited at La Rural.
From Neuquén, Elisa Carrió also ratified her belonging to that pole in Together for Change by endorsing the concurrent elections and questioning those who remained on the other side.
“What are those who do not want the single ticket now proposing?
Do you propose a country outside the law?
Luckily the law was complied with”, attacked the founder of the Civic Coalition, in that province to prop up the radical Pablo Cervi for the elections this Sunday.
