“I beat them, I beat them all”: in this way the former candidate for president, Patricia Bullrichargued his decision to openly support Javier Mileyfrom La Libertad Avanza and responded to the harsh criticism leveled against him by the leaders of the Radical Civic Union, Martín Lousteau and Gerardo Morales.
“In Together for Change there were some STEP. I beat them. I beat Morales, Lousteau, (Horacio Rodríguez) Larreta, all of them. So I built legitimacy with the society that saw in me, in (Luis) Petri and in all those who accompanied the force of change,” Bullrich said this Thursday, October 26, in dialogue with LN+.
Regarding the accusations against her and Mauricio Macri for causing the breakdown of the coalition by making a “unilateral” decision, she said that within Together for Change “there was freedom of choice and we decided to support a candidate.” “So there is no break, but different decisions. Now, if someone wants to claim the monopoly of JxC, in any case we could claim to have been the ones who won the PASO, that is, we have a lot of representation,” she reiterated.
Gerardo Morales rejected the photo of Milei with Bullrich and stoned Macri: “He is responsible for the defeat”
In addition, he pointed to radicalism due to the questions surrounding the decision that they considered “without consultation” and assured that “they were going to announce a political position ten minutes later. The radicals were going to meet alone and announce their political position.”
In that sense, he then detailed the reasons why he considered it necessary to make clear his support for Milei: “At this moment the most important thing of all is to work for a change and not the continuity of Kirchnerism, of what Sergio Massa means. , Cristina Kirchner and a model that goes against freedom of expression, institutions and the republic, where the economy is a disaster and the country is increasingly impoverished.”
Since “the first option for change was Milei,” in a framework “of greatness and patriotism we have decided to support the option for change that received the most votes,” he said.
Patricia Bullrich announced that she will support Javier Milei in the runoff: “We have the obligation not to be neutral”
Bullrich-Milei: coincidences and differences on the government plan
Regarding the differences with the leader of La Libertad Avanza, he clarified that he presented in a document with Luis Petri the points that he considered to be important: “Public education, the use of weapons under the law… These are issues that have been resolved and we are happy with the document we presented. In the economy we have many coincidences.”
However, regarding dollarization he said that “it is an issue that is in parentheses, which will be discussed.” Although he clarified: “On the other hand, we are supporting someone who won with a program and one also has to respect what that program carries out. Even today it is clear that these are difficult conditions where one has to start with other things and it is difficult to achieve dollarization. But we have to understand that we are supporting the decision for a change. That doesn’t mean we agree 100 percent. There was also not 100 percent agreement on Together for Change.”
Regarding the possibility of her being part of an eventual libertarian government as an official, Bullrich assured that they did not discuss it. “We have not talked about charges. We have supported it unilaterally. It is not a matter of negotiation, it is a matter of conviction.”
