For the strategy of Together for Change it will be clear, Horacio Rodriguez Larreta he repeated it in each of the interviews he gave in recent days: it is time to expand the space, seek alliances and project formulas. Nothing to lock yourself in each of the games. “An agreement must be made with independent sectors, from Peronism, progressivism and the center-right,” she requested. The only ones excluded in the plan of the head of the Buenos Aires Government are the kirchnerists. The others inside.
radicalism adheres to the PRO strategy: “Expand the coalition based on programmatic agreements”, they promised themselves. In that context, to Facundo Manes A door was opened for him that many knocked on: that of the Cordovan government. is in good tune with John Schiaretti, one of the leaders of federal and moderate Peronism, and it already resonates as a possible formula, although in the neuroscientist’s environment they relativize it. The plan is underway: do the opposite of what the Government is doing, increasingly locked in the institutional crisis.
CRUSADERS. Few leaders Together for Change that still project purist formulas. The project of crossed couples that Larretismo has been pushing, takes momentum in each of the coalition meetings.
The mayor of Buenos Aires is shown with Martin Lousteau in many of his tours and in that relationship could be one of the formulas of 2023. The radical had already referred to the issue of crossed couples: “Ideally, we would have a formula made up of a radical and a member of the PRO”, held. Although his allies fear that, as part of the deal, he will ask for their space, Evolution, lead the City.
A Patricia Bullrich, the maximum referent of the hard wing, was always accused of the most closed position in space. “That extremism separates you from the other parties,” protests a referent of Together. “How broad, if there are leaders who believe that they can only lead”, she completes. However, even the president of the PRO It seeks to update itself: in its frequent trips to the interior, it builds alliances with local leaders regardless of political color. And he has a special flirtation with Alfredo Cornejo, with whom he maintains an “ideological affinity”, as they say near Bullrich.
The unforced errors of Javier Milei, With countless outbursts that only generated controversy, they took the issue that generated the most tension between Bullrich and the rest off the agenda. It is that this connection with extreme liberalism made the rest of the coalition uncomfortable. It was the main discussion for a long time and now it seems like a minor issue.
From the Civic Coalition and the UCR They criticize the party created by Mauricio Macri for the place it gives them. They never felt equal and they want this time to be different.
Gerardo Morales has already spoken publicly about the issue. He assured that he would have no problem sharing the formula, although he made a clarification: “As long as it is headed by a radical.”
RELATIONS. As well as Mauricio Macri approached Miguel Ángel Pichettoyears ago, the photo of Manes with Schiaretti brought surprise to space. Could the Cordovan governor join the project? “We cannot answer it for now,” they say near the deputy. And they complete: “It was a meeting in the framework of the search for consensus. Nothing more”.
It is that Manes is not willing to break with the structure of the RCU: “Facundo is not going to do anything outside the logic of the party. There are several radical candidates for president and we have to talk to all of them”, they complete. The only condition that radicalism imposes is that “the path is through the center”, to avoid uncomfortable alliances.
Meanwhile, a rumor begins to gain strength in Congress: They could seek to change the STEP methodology to give flexibility to the choice of formula. That would imply voting in the primaries only for the first candidate for the Executive (National, provincial or municipal) and that the running mate arises from the other candidates. “The entire political arc will agree. It suits us, but also the ruling party”, say those behind the move.
In the midst of the economic crisis, the government made a lukewarm attempt to bring Together for the Change to the problem. “Today we need help, also from our opposition,” he described the moment Axel Kicillof. However, under current conditions, no one is willing to accept the invitation.
At the beginning of the year, the opposition leaders repeated that the most prudent thing was to refer to the elections only in 2023, but the setbacks of the front of all They sped up the process. The race is already on.
