Horacio Rodriguez Larreta and the Battle Fronts of Together for Change: Breaking Unity or Expanding the Coalition?

2023-06-07 18:12:23

Horacio Rodriguez Larreta continues to tighten the few strings that bind the unity of Together for Change. In his defense of the incorporation of Juan Schiaretti from Cordoba to the right-wing coalition, challenged Mauricio Macri again and opened another battle front with Patricia Bullrich, who today accused him again of being responsible for a possible “rupture” in that alliance.

“I have my opinions and they will not change because of what Macri thinks”criticized the porteño who advances with his strategy without taking note of what is happening around him, inside and outside the conservative front, nor of the consequences that the fact that his political boss operates against him can generate.

In a radio interview, Larreta thanked Macri for “the opportunities he gave me and that I repaid by working,” but made it clear that “Now I have my opinions and they will not change because some of them differ from what he thinks”.

Is it broken Together for Change?

The one who came out this morning to answer him and try to put the dots on the only “i” that there is in Together for Change was his rival in the presidential internship, Patricia Bullrich.

“Rodríguez Larreta, play fair”, was the demand that the former Security Minister launched at him. Then he abounded in criticism: the inclusion of other forces, such as Schiaretti’s, “is a debate that had to take place in the PASO, but Rodríguez Larreta went ahead wanting to put new actors through the window. Does that lead to a breakup? It depends on nothing more than Horacio Rodríguez Larreta?he warned.

Larreta insists on “expanding”

The porteño did not take note of this or of any of the fingers that are pointed against him since he traveled to Córdoba to close the electoral deal with the governor of that province. This morning he confirmed that “Since Juntos por el Cambio was born, the attitude was always to expand” and considered that “we have to follow that line.”

He gave as an example the far-right José Luis Espertwhom he described as “a prestigious guy”, who joined JxC in 2029, and argued that “this is the new majority that Argentina needs to change, to get it out of the hole we are in and to beat Kirchnerism.”

Then Chicaneed Macri for his alliance with the experonista Miguel Ángel Pichetto. “With Macri we had coincidences and some differences. I applauded when he joined Pichetto and he always praised Schiaretti ”.

“To change we need to expand,” he insisted and pretended to be distracted from what is happening: “As I defend unity, I never criticize someone from Together for Change. I seek to add because the challenge is neither Macri nor me nor the fight. The objective is to improve the lives of Argentines”.

“Do you want to take the ball because you think you won’t win the election?”

Patricia Bullrich had no patience for a discussion on rhetoric or senses of the political struggle. Emboldened by the support that Mauricio Macri reinforced in the last few hours, was emphatic: “Here is a fundamental change that I represent and there is another that lower the intensitywhich does not have a real sense of change and which is what Horacio Rodríguez Larreta expresses when he wants to include these sectors” in the coalition of which she is a key part.

“Horacio Rodríguez Larreta – he always named him by his full name and surname, like someone who challenges someone- he knows that he has to go to the field he is on and not invent put it to Schiaretti when we have an election in Córdoba. So, he plays fair, with fair cards. There’s no use trying to play rugby when we’re playing football”.

Then he dedicated another of his classic Chicanas to him: “Do you want to take the ball because you think you won’t win the election? Well, that’s not worth it”.

The possible vice of Rodríguez Larreta

larretafor his part and as if that were not enough, he also dedicated a paragraph of his interview on La Red who could be on candidate for vice president. She said he’s got to be somebody “That he agrees with me in this vocation for doing and that he does not get caught up in fights”.

“Also I value geographic diversitysomeone from another Together for Change party, gender diversity and diversity in terms of experiences and knowledge,” he insisted.
