A
new survey
measured
24 mayors from across the country
.
But the curiosity in the result came not so much from the geography they manage but from the
political origin
of the communal leaders.
To put it more clearly: the survey made a
special table with the worst
and
two from La Cámpora "won
. "
The ranking, very federal and prepared from a mega survey of
380 to 539 cases for each of the municipalities evaluated
, was put together by
CB Consultora Opinión Pública
.
This is a firm originating in Córdoba that stands out precisely for its district-by-district measurements.
It is the pollster that has published an interesting ranking of governors since the beginning of 2020 and that revealed, days ago, a decline in the image of President Javier Milei in the 24 provinces.
She also makes a table with the mayors of the Conurbano.
There is a
phenomenon that is repeated
in all cases and that speaks well (or less badly) of
local leaders
.
Both governors and mayors tend to measure their districts
better than national politicians
.
For this reason, sometimes even those at the bottom of the ranking have acceptable figures for the current context.
The 8 worst
An example is this federal table of mayors.
Only six of the 24 evaluated ended up with a negative image differential
: that is, with more negative than positive.
The rest, even two who were in the "worst" category, had more support than rejection.
The case of Walter Vuoto is different. The leader of La Cámpora that manages the city of Ushuaia was the only one who was below 40 positive points. He finished with +38.1% and -58.7%. More than 20 points of negative balance.
Vuoto had a very strong presence in the media last November and December, after the death by
alleged suicide of senator (also from La Cámpora) Matías Rodríguez
.
The legislator found Vuoto with his wife and they had a heated argument.
There was even talk of a "severe beating," which the mayor later denied.
In the
CB
survey, Luciano Di Nápoli
, mayor of La Pampa since 2019 and also a camper,
did just a little better than Vuoto .
It combined
+ 41.2% and - 54.4%
.
The podium of the bad guys was completed by
another Peronist
, but from a different background.
This is
Walter Cortés
, a
historic trade unionist
who won the election for the mayor of Bariloche, after having led the Commercial Employees Association for 30 years.
It ended with
41.7% positive and 51.9% negative
.
The other three with a negative balance are
Armando Molina
(La Rioja, PJ,
+ 44.4% and - 49.7%
),
Julio Alak
(La Plata, PJ,
+ 45.6% and - 48.4%
) and
Raúl Jorge
(Jujuy, UCR,
+ 47.2% and - 50.1%
).
The last two are the best known:
Alak was Minister of Justice
for Cristina Kirchner in the Nation and for Axel Kicillof in the Province;
and
Jorge is the current general secretary of radicalism
at the national level.
The two exceptions among the "worst" are two women:
Susana Laciar
, from San Juan;
and
Rossana Chahla
, from Tucumán.
Both had more support than rejection.
Laciar
(
+ 47.9% and - 44.9%
) is an ally of Governor Marcelo Orrego, with origins in the blocism and an ally of Together for Change.
Chahla
(
+ 48% and - 44.9%
) is a doctor who was an official for the Peronist governor Juan Manzur and also a national deputy.
