“macri tells to Larreta that some positions can be confusing for people, and Kirchnerism always always betrays”, revealed the deputy and former head of the Federal System of Public Media, Hernan Lombardi. Today aligned among the hawks he leads Patricia Bullrichthe former Minister of Culture of Buenos Aires celebrates that the former president has returned to order the space and lower the line.
“Macri is an inescapable reference, although when his government ended some organized their political wake“, points out Lombardi against others and his own. “The truth is that it is inseparable from the future of Argentines and I say this with humility. I don’t know if he wants to be a candidate or not, he’s not in that position. He is very interested in the future because he really thinks that this is the year of projects”, adds the deputy.
The rumors about a hypothetical candidacy of the former president, which NOTICIAS reflects on its cover this week, are celebrated by a segment of Together, but irritate others. Even Bullrich herself, who after intense work over the last two years to position herself as the “hard” option within the PRO for the Head of Government of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodriguez Larretatoday is overshadowed by the return of Macri.
“Mauricio does not lower Patricia Bullrich’s profile, there is a team working here that includes her, Horacio, María Eugenia Vidal, and many new leaders throughout the country. She works much more as a team than it seems. Our duty is to perfect this work and it seems to me that Macri told Bullrich that she join her team with important figures, and she is doing it intelligently, “Lombardi detailed.
Among those names is waldo wolffwho would be Patricia’s candidate as Head of Government of Buenos Aires (Larreta has not yet defined his but Jorge Macri and Soledad Acuna sound like options). And the mayor of Captain Sarmiento, Javier Iguacel, would be the candidate for governor for Buenos Aires. Macri’s former Minister of Energy put on the table what others do not dare to say: if the former president is a candidate, Bullrich will have to step aside.
“Mauricio Macri He has a vision and ideas similar to those of Patricia, they complement each other, and he is one or the other. Obviously the fact to have a second chanceHaving learned from mistakes, it can be tempting. But at the same time, it is not necessary for him to embody that, it can be a team that learned to make changes that could not be made in the first stage”, Iguacel defends Bullrich’s virtues as heiress.
“In Together for Change there is debate and agreements. There was a clear agreement to stop the government in the madness that it tries, in Cristina Fernández’s clumsy maneuver of dividing her bloc to violate the law. Of course there are rumors and different visions”, admits Lombardi about the cracks that are opening in JXC as well as in the ruling party.
“This is a year to put together a program, Mauricio Macri and other leaders have said it, from there we can collect adhesions and we must not have prejudices, but they must be about our program or discussing it. It’s not arguing if Javier Milei yes or no. The other day I had lunch with Mauricio and we said that the question to ask is why we want to govern Argentina, we go with a purpose, “he detailed. Hernan Lombardi in The Trigger (Delta 90.3).
“Javier Milei introduces a debate on topics that were historically taboos that are good to discuss, but from there to think some positions for me very radicalized, like the elimination of the Central Bank, I think we have to reflect on it. Argentina has a history of such great failures that all issues must be discussed without taboos,” he added about the rumor of adding the liberals to the space. A move that could expel a sector of radicalism and the Civic Coalition.
“Adding Javier Milei or not seems like a pointless debate to me, because he excludes radicalism, the civic coalition and the Pro pigeons, then it is very difficult. In a coalition you have to know how to yield and lead the group. Milei represents an extreme of the Pro and therefore of our coalition, but he is very extreme “, endorsed the radical deputy and former vice president, Julio Cobos.
“We believe that the country needs to go to a zero deficit from day one, that is a great computer because all the economists are working on how to achieve that and it is not a matter of making announcements. We we said zero poverty and it didn’t workbut to say that this country cannot finance more deficit because it has no one to finance it must be fast, it cannot be slow”, Lombardi commented, noting that in case of having “Second time”it will not be with the gradualism that prevailed in the first.
“Cristina did tremendous damage to Argentina and I don’t see that mirror of rejection with Mauricio. But when Mauricio was doing better, she retained 20% of the voting intention. I tend to think that this is all the opportunity for Together for Change to return, but we must have a year of programs because we cannot fail again”, insisted the referent of Together.
“I participated in Patricia’s weekend meeting with Horary, and I suggested that we had to look for an economic program that is commonbecause the demand of the citizens comes from there”, he pointed out Gerard Millman, deputy and vice president of the PRO block, who answers to Bullrich. For the side of the former Security Minister, there is no fear that the former president will run.
“Bullrich and Macri think the sameI would be worried if one was a Trotskyist and the other a capitalist”, laughs Millman, convinced that the project is the same. Macri’s big question is whether he can beat Rodríguez Larreta today in an internal one. If he does not see that clear scenario, he will give a step aside and will support his former minister, but seeking to ensure that the mayor of Buenos Aires upholds some common guidelines.
“Mauricio Macri once again highlighted his probable candidacy from what I see, and the best promoter he has is Alberto Fernández, as happened with Macri for the return of Kirchnerism. If Mauricio shows up, I see him with possibilities. But I don’t think so much Larreta as Patricia Bullrich resign their candidacies. They they are no longer subservient to him”, said Cobos.
