“Since I told society that I was going to prepare myself to be a candidate, I have been working on it, at no time have I considered changing the situation,” the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Fernán Quirós, responded to the question about whether he would decline his candidacy for Goverment’s head.
In the last week, the Minister of Education, Soledad Acuña, who sought to be her successor to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta along with Jorge Macri, the favorite in the polls to face the radical Martin Lousteau in the internal, got off in Together for Change.
And María Eugenia Vidal also stepped aside, who will no longer be a candidate for president for the PRO, and clarified that she will not run for the head of government in CABA either. “I want this team to continue. There are two Pro candidates and there are three others from other forces. If I am saying that I want to add, that I want to strengthen Together for Change, I will not be the sixth,” said the former governor from Buenos Aires and current deputy in an interview with TN.
“María Eugenia, I have known you for many years and I have always respected you for your integrity, your courage and your loyalty to people and ideas. That is why the decision you announced today deserves all my respect. The future has a place for you, you will always have my support, ”ex-president Mauricio Macri wrote on Twitter, trying to dispel rumors that Vidal did not have his support. .
Thus, the internship in the city seems reduced in the PRO to the versus between Quirós and Jorge Macri, where the latter seeks to be the unity candidate. “It is very important to offer the most competitive PRO candidate for the PASO, not only because he already governs but because society values what the space has done in these 16 years, there are also demands that have not been resolved and others that are new, adapted to the contemporary way of living”, said Quirós, in an interview with Delta 90.3.
“I say that you have to find the best possible candidate, the most powerful, the most valued by society because they want a great leader of the Pro to continue having this government. I work every day to be the best, just like Jorge Macri does on his side. I talk to him frequently because we know each other from having worked together in other areas, we have a very high personal bond and respect, “he said about his rival, who seeks to be the unity candidate.
“What I receive from society is enormous gratitude for what we went through together, for how we went through it and enormous support for him to continue on this path. I have the intimate conviction that people are looking for different leadership, it is what is seen worldwide. It is the reason why I decided to present myself because I feel that I can contribute something different to society and that it is urgently needed,” added Quirós, who earned high popular approval in the city of Buenos Aires for his management of the Covid pandemic. .
“Most of society thinks that we are the best option, what you have to do is find a mechanism that has public opinion represented and one of agreements, like the one that occurred in Córdoba, but that is my view, you have to see what others think”, defined the minister, who proposes that it be an in-person survey and a political agreement to the Cordovan ones that order the inmate. The polls are already there, the only thing missing is the negotiation between Larretismo and Macrismo.
