Since September 12, the cell phone of Carolina Losada it doesn’t stop ringing. It is that day she became one of the revelations of the elections, when she crushed the other lists that competed in the internal Together for Change. Until then, the journalist even comfortably beat the opponent she had sponsored Mauricio Macri in person. It is from that moment that the phone of the now senator is active. And not only for calls, but for scores and offers: a widespread rumor within the red circle is that several opposition presidential candidates want her as the vice-presidential candidate, while several of them have her in their sights due to the dizzying growth of she. Requested.
Landing in politics
In truth, the culprit is not her, but her sister, georgina losada. She, a lifelong radical militant who specializes in international politics, had been studying the panorama of her province in 2021 when she had an idea. The analysis that she did Santa Fe it was that the provincial politics was “very ironed” and that the irruption of a new candidate, who came from outside that world, could get to work. And that person was someone he knew well: his older sister. Georgina He tells NOTICIAS that, although it seems striking, convincing the largest of the Losada to take the leap was not too difficult a task. “I told her on the phone and a week later I came to see her in Capital and we finished talking about it. She warmed up very quickly,” she says. In that invitation she also had a lot to do Rosario councilor Martín Rosuaclose to family.
In the PASS the The success of Losada, famous until then for her role as a spicy panelist on “Intratables”, was overwhelming. Your UCR roster was imposed with 40 percent of the votes in an internal one that had several lists, in which all gave the sure winner to Federico Angelini, the candidate who had the express support of Macri and Patricia Bullrich. The case was a bomb within the opposition, which in fact continues to be used to this day when it comes to talking about the electoral chances that the former president could have. “Mauricio wants to be a candidate again but look how it went in Santa Fe, he played Angelini with everything and lost like in the war. It no longer exists”, is a reflection that is usually shared by Larretismo.
Either way, that victory – and the campaign, in which Losada combined an anti-Kirchnerism furious, some pieces of “hot” propaganda, such as one where she showed her cleavage, and extreme statements such as “boys dream of being drug traffickers in Santa Fe”- they installed it at the national level. It was a jump that also caused her sparks.
One of the most notorious was with Martin Losteau. When Losada arrived at the Senate, the former minister of Economy of Cristina Kirchner he came from separating his bloc from the UCR, remaining in the minority. That is why the new senator took her place in the upper house and became the first vice president. In those corridors it is said that the one with the curlers had tried to convince Losada not to make the leap into politics – “they are using you,” he would have told her, to which the former journalist replied “in my family at least nobody uses nobody”-, concerned that she could overshadow her candidate in Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro. Since then the relationship is strained.
Losada 2023
Now Losada sounds in the imagination of several within the opposition. In fact, Macri mentioned it to Miguel Ángel Pichetto as a possible vice president of a formula in a meeting they held last month in the offices of the former president in Vicente López. The Auditor General of the Nation also offered to accompany Macri in 2023. “I do what the boss tells me to do,” he said. The founder of the PRO, say those present at that meeting, kept thinking about both options.
The thing is Losada meets several requirements of Jaime Durán Barba’s policy manual. She is new in this world, she is young, she is a woman, and furthermore, from the PRO, she would be a nod towards radicalism.
In fact, close to the senator they clarify that, although they are only rumours, they have been hearing them not only from the macrismo but that version has also reached them from the Buenos Aires leadership that commands Horacio Rodriguez Larreta. “But there is a long way to go, and today to start talking about candidacies would be a lack of respect for a society that is having a very bad time,” they clarify near Losada. It is not the only plan going around there: together with his second in the formula, now Senator Dionisio Scarpin, they are walking Santa Fe and had talks with socialism. Several give them as safe candidates for the governorship. Restless.
