The Cordovan Governor Juan Schiaretti that these days generated a stir in Together for change for negotiations to join Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Gerardo Morales, Miguel Pichetto and Elisa Carrió in the presidential elections he would still have one more chapter to be elucidated. This is how he advanced it in a brief press conference in his province when he was asked about his “pass” to Juntos Por el Cambio. “This is not going anywhere. It is respecting the identity of each one and put together a new coalition,” explained the Governor.
It should be remembered that in 2015, when the PRO joined the UCR and the Civic Coalition, the alliance was called Cambiemos. Then that coalition joined the Peronism led by Miguel Angel Pichetto and it was renamed Together for Change. Now the addition of Schiaretti, Florencio Randazzo and Diego Bossio, they could rename again the alliance that Horacio Rodríguez Larreta seeks to lead. The downside is that not everyone wants to.
These days, the opposition is in a very strong crisis among its main figures, who are divided between the larretista wing, which seeks to expand the space, and the bullrichista wing that wants to continue as it has been until now, confident that the numbers are enough to make a good choice or avoid it Rodríguez Larreta grows in a district like Córdobawhere Patricia Bullrich measures well.
For Schiaretti this alliance could also be beneficial because it pushes the field to Louis Judge who seeks to keep the governorship of Córdoba on June 25 and on the other hand, if Larreta becomes president, he could have a place in a ministry. One of those places could be the Foreign Ministry, where Schiaretti was already in the 1990s with Domingo Cavallo.
The unknown that arises from the possibility that Together for change disappear as an electoral mark is whether all the members will agree or take advantage of the occasion to separate. A reckless rumor that is being considered at this time is that there are advisors from the larretism and bullrichism that they study the collateral damage of a possible rupture.
That is to say: they evaluate if the cost of separating jeopardizes the chances of winning the elections. Macri has already warned that he is against adding Schiaretti. A contradiction, if one takes into account that in 2019 he had offered him the vice presidency before closing Pichetto’s pass.
