Javier Milei bets everything on the presidential election: in which districts he will not play in the provincial elections

2023-05-04T21:16:09.892Z


They will not have their own candidates in places of weight such as Córdoba, Mendoza and Santa Fe. And they will play partially in the provinces on the next Sundays, May 7 and 14.


The string of unfolded provincial elections are

moments "to go through"

for Javier Milei, whose space

does not have a national weight structure,

beyond the legal framework necessary for him to run as a presidential candidate throughout the country.

Paying attention to the most immediate calendar for the elections for governor and provincial offices, the economist was in La Rioja

last week

in support of Martín Menem (La Rioja votes this May 7) and the next one will travel to

Tucumán

to give his support to another ally of the first hour, Ricardo Bussi (Tucumán votes on May 14).

But Milei, who seems to be betting everything on the national ones on the rise according to many polls,

will not have his own representatives in key provinces

whose definition will also mark the way to the PASO in August and the general ones in October.

Córdoba votes for governor on June 25 - there are no primaries there - and it has already been confirmed for two weeks that Milei

will not endorse any candidate

.

After many disputes, the Liberal Democratic Development Front was registered there and will be led by businessman Rodolfo Eiben (president of the PD) and the president of the Confederation of Hydrocarbons and Related Trade Entities of the Argentine Republic (Cecha), Gabriel Bornoroni.

Alliances have already registered, and this Saturday the 6th is the deadline to present the lists of candidates.

On June 11, there will be the PASO in

Mendoza

(the general ones, on September 24).

There Milei will not have his own candidate either, and on the "Unión Mendocina" front that Omar de Marchi of the PRO set up "from the outside" to challenge the ruling party of the radicals Alfredo Cornejo (candidate) and Rodolfo Suárez (current governor) added both to the Libertarian Party Like the Democrat.

In the environment of the libertarian leader they do not rule out support for De Marchi when the time comes, but it is unknown.

Neither in

Santa Fe,

the third district in electoral weight in the country, which votes PASO on July 16 and generals on September 10, appears with a candidate for governor of Milei.

There is

Romina Diez

, an economist and teacher from Rosario,

a friend of Javier and Karina Milei and her reference in the province,

but she would go to the top of the list for national deputy, later.

In the province, Milei, along with his national setter, Carlos Kikuchi, are only willing to play where a sufficient electoral floor is guaranteed.

That is why they left Córdoba, among other reasons.

In Santa Fe, the only thing that appears as certainty is the support for the pro-life Amalia Granata, who after her unsuccessful stint two years ago for Together for Change (went to the internship with the current president of PRO Federico Angelini, and lost to Carolina Losada-Mario Barletta)

will go to renew his seat in the provincial legislature.

As

Clarín

has already indicated, Milei has already decided not to play with his own lists in the provinces of Misiones or Jujuy, this May 7, nor in the midterms of Corrientes, on June 11.

On May 14, in addition to Tucumán where Milei supports Bussi, the vote will be held in

San Juan

, where the libertarian did support the three formulas that compete within the Development and Freedom Front (headed by Yolanda Agüero, Paola Miers and Agustín Ramírez ).

On the other hand, there will be no Milei candidates either in the provinces of

La Pampa or Salta

, who also elect governor on May 14.

Given this panorama, La Libertad Avanza even issued a statement in which it stated that "our goal is the next 2023 presidential elections", and that its "efforts" (communication, control, etc.) are placed there. 


They also pointed out that the parties that accompany them and participate in presidential elections "according to their legal or territorial needs" must use "their own party symbols and images" and not those of "Javier Milei 2023" and their alliances at the national level.

José Luis Espert, and the Ucedé?

The incorporation of José Luis Espert to Juntos por el Cambio stirs up liberal/libertarian waters.

In the midst of the tension that it generates in a JxC sector, it is still being negotiated whether he will be a candidate for governor in the Province

or if he will compete in the grid of presidential candidates, seeking to capture the liberal vote.

A version of the last few days indicates that

the revamped UCeDé

-the party founded by the engineer Alvaro Alsogaray- could give it a national structure.

It is that at the beginning of April after a long internal bid between sectors, a ruling by the electoral judge María Servini restored its legal status - lost a decade ago -

to act as a national political party.

The winner is the head of the Buenos Aires UCeDé,

Andrés Passamonti,

who after winning the court ruling in his favor signed his triumph

by being elected in the first national convention held in Catamarca days ago, as president of the National Committee.

Passamonti is given as close to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta;

He has been a Ucedeista militant since he was 14 years old, and a friend of "Alvarito" Alsogaray, the iconic son of the founding engineer.

Close to him they say that they have talked with the entire libertarian arc, including Milei and Espert, separately, of course.

But that "they will not hand over the party to anyone" and that they are focused on "refounding it" and making it grow "in the long term."

As in the series, it will continue.
