The active movement of the former president Mauricio Macriwho does not hide his desire to go for a “Second time” (his book about his mandate is called “First time”, puts Together on alert. The president of the UCR, the Jujuy Gerardo Morales accused him of wanting to break space. and her own Patricia Bullrichher slope at the head of the PRO, fears that her attempt to seek another mandate will relegate her.
That is why the “falcon” comes forward and now presents, with breakfast at the Olivos Yacht Club (10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), what will be your campaign team in front of Macri himself, seeking his blessing. Although many interpret a double game: that of serve the electoral assembly, and not be totally relegated in case Macri is again a candidate, of the bid with the “pigeons”.
Pigeons that in recent times have shown a fast flight to seduce some hawks to join the Larretista flock: in February the Head of the Buenos Aires Government targeted Patricia Bullrich’s former Security Advisor, Florence Arietto. And a week ago, the deputy from Mendoza Omar de Marchi I also changed sides: in a phone call the president of the PRO would have promised him don’t forget the betrayal.
A sign of Bullrich’s fury after his recoil into space, though the surveys they continue to position it firmly in the race: it has a 52% positive image compared to 41% of Mauricio Macri (after the recovery in recent months it coincides with the number of votes harvested in 2019).
And the president of the PRO has ten points less of moderately negative image (the segment that can lean in a ballotage) than the former president: 14% versus 24% of Mauricio Macri. Figures that could encourage the former president to abdicate his “Second period” attempt in favor of the former Minister of Security.
“Macri gets off everything”, Lilita Carrió advanced yesterday, who promised to speak with the different actors in the space to moderate the internal ones and maintain unity. “I’m going to talk to Gerardo. The other day she was going to have lunch with Mauricio. Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen,” concluded Carrió.
But far from moderation, Patricia Bullrich He called for joining forces within the space “to those who do not shake their hands.” “You have to take advantage of the situation of a government that is falling, that is broken,” harangued the head of the PRO, who lamented that in space “there is a lot of shit”.
“You have to have a team. people who not only know what to do but be bravebecause knowledge alone is not enough for a situation like the one we have in Argentina,” said the future presidential candidate, who has her arm.
There is the former senator Federico Pinedo. deputies Hernan Lombardi, Luciano Laspina, Sebastián García de Lucca and Gerardo Millman. The former parliamentarian Paula Bertol and the mayor of Capitàn Sarmiento, Javier IguacelBullrich’s eventual candidate to compete in the province of Buenos Aires.
“The best candidate is Bullrich, I work for her, I coordinate her teams. Macri has to define if he is a candidate, today he is not. If it were, everyone would talk about it starting with Macri and Bullrich. However, more than seeing him worried about his candidacy, I see him worried about helping the candidates of his party, ”said Pinedo.
“Mauricio Macri has a vision and ideas similar to those of Patricia, they complement each other. And it is one or the other. have a second chance having learned from mistakes may be tempting for Mauricio, but at the same time it is not necessary that he be the one to embody that. It can be a team that learned to make the changes that could not be made in the first stage,” says Iguacel, former Minister of Energy.
“I want to make a profound change in the province, so I am going to run for gubernatorial candidate from Buenos Aires. I would be part of Patricia Bullrich’s wing, where hawks have popularly placed us within Together for Change”, she acknowledges.
The surprise is that some sides of the former president of the Chamber of Deputies could join the assembly, Emilio MonzoWhat Nicholas Massot. The Peronist wing during the mandate of Mauricio Macriwhich the former president openly denied in his book “Primer tiempo”.
But with which he would have made peace: there was at the end of 2021 a meeting of the former president with Roger Frigeriohis former interior minister and firm candidate to compete for the governorship of Entre Ríos next year.
A truce to which Monzó joined, who after asking Macri to retire in 2020, held in April of this year: “Mauricio Macri is the leader with the most votes in the internal Together for Change”. The former Minister of Government of the management in CABA of the macrismo would be a key piece in the province after the departure of Miguel Angel Picketto – this is how they understand it among the “patricians” – to the Larretista hosts.
