Fully involved in the electoral campaign and in the internal one that he will face against Patricia Bullrich, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta once again differentiated himself from his rival in the PASO of Together for Change by stating that trying to "impose from the rostrum" and "this thing of violence" did not work before in Argentina.
Rodríguez Larreta spoke on Radio Continental about the issues on which he does not agree with the other presidential candidate of Together for Change. He clarified that both are parts of the same coalition and therefore have "a common vision of the country."
But he distanced himself: "With it we have a difference in how, and how it makes a difference, the possibility of achieving things or not achieving them."
In that sense, he said that unlike the former Minister of Security he does not believe in "the mere fact of expressing the will by saying it loudly, stating that if one wins he imposes on the rest."

Argentina chooses 2023
"The history of Argentina shows that this is not the way. History tells us that wanting to impose changes from the rostrum, this thing of violence, aggression, of those who do not think as I am the enemy, that did not work," he insisted.
On the other hand, Rodríguez Larreta ratified his intention to add Juan Schiaretti to the space, despite the fact that in recent days some political analyses argued that the defeat to which Luis Juez is heading in Córdoba could be linked to this attempt of adhesion that the head of Government made explicit.
"I am convinced that we must add, expand. If we do not build a solid, broad majority, there is no change," he said when asked if asking to add Schiaretti was a "goal against" with the result of the elections for governor of Córdoba.
Rodriguez Larreta said Juez made "the best choice that Together for Change made" in the coalition's history for governor.

"Everyone recognizes that he made a very good choice. Obviously we would have liked to win. I am the leader who most times went to Cordoba to support Luis Juez," she clarified, and expressed that she was "very close to winning."
The presidential candidate said that he is not going to change his opinion that "to change Argentina seriously you have to build a very broad majority." "To beat Kirchnerism we have to build a very broad majority and that's what I think," he confirmed.

Meanwhile, he recalled the attempt to take over the Jujuy Legislature happened days ago within the framework of the constitutional reform carried out by his candidate for vice president, Gerardo Morales. "It is Kirchnerism trying to stop the changes like that, by violence," he said about the fact.
"This violence as a way of doing politics is over. The Argentina of violence, of thinking that whoever does not think like one is the enemy and must be killed practically where each government that begins throws overboard the above, is the history of Argentina, "he described.
And he said that it is necessary "to build a broad majority to promote changes that are maintained over time" because he stressed that "if the change is not maintained over time it does not work."
