In the midst of the tension in Juntos, Bullrichism gathered its teams to advance a 'government plan'

With Patricia Bullrich campaigning in Mendoza and in parallel with a day of maximum tension in Together for Change for the incorporation or not of Juan Schiaretti, the leadership of the PRO that accompanies the former minister in her presidential race met throughout the afternoon of this Monday and until late at night for the exhibition of the technical teams that have been working on the eventual government program of the Pre-candidate.

"We do not want to negotiate our model before, nor arrive liquefied to the election, we have to arrive with identity and idea of change, of which Patricia Bullrich speaks," one of the referents told Clarín, in relation to what was happening "outside", where the assembly of the space and incorporations that Bullrichism – and Mauricio Macri – resist were discussed.

But in the Yacht Club Olivos, the conclave of the Bullrichist leadership had a much calmer imprint with respect to the tension that was experienced between the leaders of the JxC parties at the UCR headquarters on Alsina Street.

It started after two afternoon, with about 120 members of the 22 commissions that put together the "government plans" of the pre-candidate. With names similar to those of the ministries (Economy, Social Development, Culture, etc.) each team had 15 minutes to present their work of recent weeks. All under the coordination of the advisory council, composed of Federico Pinedo, Luciano Laspina, Dante Sica and Eduardo Amadeo.

In economic terms, Bullrich's reference Laspina on the subject once again showed himself to be far from any idea of dollarization. For the economist it is about "recovering the national currency", with a "totally independent" Central Bank, which cannot finance the treasury or impose exchange rate traps.

"We are going to give Argentines a way out of the economic disaster left by populism. We are going to collaborate so that Patricia Bullrich is the next president of the nation and has the necessary equipment to get the country out of this decadence," Laspina harangued at the start.

This Monday was the second meeting of the year at the "technical" level of Bullrichism. There were croissants, coffee and soft drinks, and the promise of "having the government manual very soon, the strategic lines to then take out the legal and operational instruments such as writing the bills," summarized one of the participants.

Bullrich was not present, although he sent a message. This Monday, he arrived in Mendoza to accompany Alfredo Cornejo and Hebe Casado in the final stretch of the campaign for the PASO next Sunday, in which the pre-candidates for governor, vice president and provincial legislators who aspire to compete in the general elections of September 24 are chosen. Tomorrow Bullrich will continue in the province, where he will visit the city of San Rafael, and walk with the candidates in that municipality.
