In the middle of the Buenos Aires electoral race, Jorge Macri stirred the waters with harsh criticism of his predecessor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. In an interview with Eduardo Feinmann on Radio Miter, the current head of Governmentsor accused the former mayor of having lost the “pulse of the city” after his frustrated presidential career, and reproached him key decisions of his management, such as The suspension of Marcos Paz prison or the increase in public employment. From the Larretist environment they accused receipt: they interpreted their statements as a “low blow.”
“The year and peak that went on a trip plus the previous two years than He dedicated himself to wanting to be president, made him lose his pulse of what happens in the city”, Macri launched. The phrase fell like a missile in the ranks of those who still respond to Larreta, who tries to rearrange himself in the political scene after his false passage through the internal of together for the change: his criticism” There is smell of Pis “, which was raised even by the libertarians.
The interview occurred the day after the debate between candidates for Buenos Aires legislators, where the reorganization of the PRO was also evidenced. The debate, transmitted by the city channel, left several internal readings. For Jorge Macri, the only one who lived was Silvia Lospenno, candidate of the PROwhom he congratulated on social networks with an enthusiastic tweet:
“What a tremendous candidate we have in the city! Congratulations @slospennato, you broke it in the debate. Clarity, firmness and a lot
Macri contrasted that performance with that of other applicants, which he accused of concentrating on “a lot of chicana and little proposal.” And did not save dartos towards Larreta, who also He was responsible for having left the Marcos Paz prison unfinished: “Devoto still has a prison because Horacio suspended Marcos Paz. Today we would not have detained at police stations or alcaidías if that work was finished.”
Emmanuel Ferrariocandidate for Buenos Aires councilor and a figure close to Larreta, reacted to the interview with a message on social networks in defense of his reference, accusing Macri of make fun of the tremors that afflict the former mayor:
“Jorge touched back. The lowest possible. Personal issues.”
From the surroundings of Jorge Macri They did not miss that interpretation. In dialogue with this medium, a source close to the head of government rebuilt:
“A snack interpretation of Emanuel … Jorge did not have that intention.”
Meanwhile, within the Buenos Aires ruling itself, the Performance of the Pennate was highlighted, held not only by Macri, but by the hardest nucleus of the PRO. It was described as “solid, knowing the city, emphatic with proposals and without falling into unnecessary controversies”, Differentiating from the aggressive tone from the rest.
The debate also left a background political conclusion: The PRO appears as the only space with real ability to stop Kirchnerism in the citywhile the libertarians failed to consolidate as a local alternative. The presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, tried to nationalize the debate and presented himself more as a emissary of Javier Milei than as a Buenos Aires representative, something that gave him identity in front of the capital electorate.
Within that framework, a clear polarization between Silvia Lospenato and Leandro Santoro was installed: two facing models that represent, according to the macrista speech, “doing and managing” in front of “promise and not fulfill.” That discursive line It seeks to reinforce the idea that the city needs continuity and administrative solvencydo not ideological or improvised bets.
At the same time, the passage of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta By the debate it was considered “irrelevant.” Several leaders pointed out that it was “completely blurred”, with A speech focused on your figure (“I did”, “I proposed”) and an ambiguous intention to be again head of government, when in reality legislative benches are disputed. That ambition was read as a poorly calculated gesture of revenge, born more of frustration than of a clear political strategy.
