Leandro Santoro announced that it is considering the possibility of not contest the runoff con Jorge Macri in the Buenos aires city. The candidate for head of Government has not yet defined whether he will be the protagonist on November 19 when the second round is held at the national and jurisdictional level. The resolution will be announced in the next few hours.
The representative of Unión por la Patria, in the City of Buenos Aires, is in the middle of a crossroads. Although the results give him the opportunity to go to the runoff with Jorge Macri, the possibilities of reversing the percentages are ephemeral. Not only because the PRO leader won by 17 points, but because he was on the verge of winning in the first round.
In the Buenos Aires opposition they analyze all the possibilities to define how to proceed. Despite having a finite chance of being the successor of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Leandro Santoro wants to be present on November 19. The truth is that he has very few tools to overcome the election. He knows that Ramiro Marra’s votes are unlikely to lean towards him and hope would be clinging there.
In the face of all the odds against it, at its most intimate core it is analyzed to give up on the competition. One of those who could advise him to get out of the runoff is Sergio Massa. The presidential candidate would have recommended that he think deeply about it. With an electoral perspective, the Tigrense intends to avoid alliances between La Libertad Avanza and the PRO in the City.
At the same time, the disagreement of Together for Change voters with the two presidential candidates would push them not to vote. On the other hand, if the runoff extends to the City, some would feel motivated to appear to assert their civic rights. In UxP they understand that Jorge Macri’s voter is a potential voter for Javier Milei. Due to all these factors, Leandro Santoro could withdraw from contention.
