As

anticipated ,

Soledad Acuña

announced on Tuesday through social networks that she will not be a candidate for head of government of the city of Buenos Aires.

Immediately, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta responded to the publication, implying, between the lines, that the current Minister of Education will probably be a potential candidate for deputy head of government.

"None of us is more important than all of us together," highlighted Acuña on his Twitter account, one of those noted so far in the race to succeed Rodríguez Larreta.

And he continued, a 1.53-minute video, in which he highlighted his entire career within the PRO.

"Love for the City motivated me to be a candidate for Head of Government, but from the beginning I maintain that none of us is more important than all of us together. The PRO needs a single candidate, that's why I made the decision not to compete in the STEP," he said.

It is the second pre-candidate to drop, after Emmanuel Ferrario did it in March.

Therefore, of the four original PRO candidates, only the Minister of Government Jorge Macri and his Health Minister, Fernán Quirós, remain.

In addition,

there is speculation about a possible withdrawal from the presidential candidacy of María Eugenia Vidal

and an eventual candidacy for the City.

For now, from vidalismo they assure that she continues to maintain her national aspirations, like Rodríguez Larreta and Patricia Bullrich.

As soon as Acuña's decision to drop her candidacy was formally known, the head of the Buenos Aires government,

Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, came out to support her in a message

 that many interpreted as a sign of support for an eventual and possible candidacy as deputy chief.

"Enormous Sole. We have been working together for more than twenty years. You have been part of the PRO since we began this dream of changing Argentina forever. I know your commitment to education as the true engine of change. I know your strength and I saw you fight like nobody else so that our boys could go back to school during the pandemic," Larreta tweeted.

And he added: "The Change we need is much more than the sum of its parts. It is a transformation project that already belongs to the people. We did it together in the city and we are going to do it together throughout the country. Be united for what comes is our responsibility and our obligation".

In her video, she had also winked at the presidential candidacy of her political boss: "I am going to work so that Horacio can bring this change to all of Argentina."


Doubt with Quirós and Macri (Mauricio)

And

Fernán Quirós

, the city's Health Minister, who was supposed to be Larreta's strongest card to dispute the district with the Macri?

This Tuesday, the official left open the possibility that it was Vidal and generated strong anger in his team and in the larretismo.

"There is a lot of fever with what he said. But Fernán continues to be Horacio's bet," they sought to support his candidacy near the head of government.

And they expanded: "It is true that María Eugenia was thought of for the City at some point, before, but today there is no closed agreement nor did Horacio ask her for it in the last meeting they had."

Close to Vidal they give credit to the version and add an interesting element: "

What María Eugenia does is going to be agreed with Mauricio

. It was difficult for her to rebuild that relationship and today they are very much in tune."

I remember: in 2021, Macri wanted her for the Province and she agreed to Larreta's request and appeared in the City.

The Macri (Mauricio) factor triggers a question: could the former president ask his cousin to run so that Vidal is the sole candidate of the PRO?

For now, he does not know / does not answer.
