The presidential intern of Together for Change between Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Patricia Bullrich divide the opposition coalition. The fight is not only discursive, it also took place in the assembly of lists in the province of Buenos Aires, where the referents of the PRO presented their own candidates. A contest that is also replicated, in each Buenos Aires municipality.
The province of Buenos Aires has 135 districts. JXC governs more than 50. Of those mayors, Bullrich has managed to convene behind him, two thirds. But the remaining third that supports Rodríguez Larreta would potentially have more votes.
Among those of Bullrich he leads his own candidate for governor, Nestor Grindeti (Lanús has more than 400,000 inhabitants, something that tipped the balance in his favor against Cristian Ritondo, who ended up leading the list of hawk deputies in the PBA).
But Larreta surpasses with Julio Garro (La Plata has 600 thousand inhabitants), Gustavo Posse (San Isidro has almost 300 thousand inhabitants) Diego Santilli’s vice, and Diego Valenzuela (February 3 has more than 300,000 inhabitants), who is rumored to be the Chief of Staff of the former vice larretista, in case he wins the province.
And the dispute for the governorship facing the PASO, opens an internal one also in the districts where the PRO governs today, and in which Patricia Bullrich presented her own candidates (contrary to the position of Mauricio Macri, that there were no inmates in the districts where space already governs) Some of which come from other ranks.
It is the case of Gustavo Spallettiwho began his political career in massismo (in 2015 he was a councilor for the space headed by the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa), and today disputes over control of February 3, the inmate with Diego Valenzuela.
A paradox. Bullrich, who leverages the comparisons between Larreta and Massa in networks, supports a former Renewal Front in that key suburban district, who also militated for Juan Manuel Urtubey and Roberto Lavagna, and was in tune with the Evita Movement. He even takes a toll on him for a closeness to Moyanism in 2019, when he competed for the district supporting the candidate for mayor of the trucker, Octavio Argüello.
Close to Spalletti they clarify that he worked with Valenzuela until recently, as political ally. But that he decided to compete internally after Bullrich’s proposal, a STEP that in his version, will expand the votes of the space.
Valenzuela, favorite for the race, has governed 3 de Febrero since 2015, when he beat Hugo Curto in that election, and ended a 24-year term. And after revalidating his mandate in 2019, he had a good choice in 2021, with a marked triumph of his concelajes against those of the camper Juan Debandi.
