“A stronger and broader coalition to face the disaster left by Kirchnerism”, Lousteau’s message for the entry of Espert
Katopodis insists that “the most important thing is that Peronism reaches an agreement”
The Minister of Public Works, Gabriel Katopodis, considered that “the most important thing” in the face of the next elections “is that Peronism reach a great agreement” without resorting to an internal one, and maintained that the Frente de Todos “must be organized in the confrontation with macrismo and the opposition”.
“The realization of the PASO in the Frente de Todos is something debatable. Some believe so, others no. What seems most important to me is that Peronism achieves a great agreement. If it does not happen, then there will be an internal one. The important thing is to be able to prevent macrismo from ruling Argentina again,” warned Katopodis in statements to FM Futurorock.

The closeness of the closure of electoral alliances and of the lists of candidates that will be able to compete in the PASO of August accelerated the internal fight in the Frente de Todos. In the last hours, the President of the Nation received multiple pressures from their partners to withdraw from the competition the candidacies of the officials who respond to him. Although it is transmitted as a call for the unification of lists so that the ruling party can gain competitiveness, the request can be summed up in another sentence: Daniel Scioli does not have to compete.
On Wednesday, it was the Peronist governors who asked for a single presidential candidate. They were summoned at the request of Cristina Kirchner, who sent for them so that her desire for unification would reach the President in all possible ways. Read more here.
Rossi crossed the governors who demand a single candidate without STEP: “He seemed authoritarian in tone”
“I respect the opinion of the governors, but with that same respect I want to be honest. I found the tone almost authoritarian “we demand”Another thing is to suggest that they consider a unit list better. Nor do I know who this demand is addressed to. It did not seem reasonable to me in that sense,” said the head of the ministers on radio El Destape.
Rossi considered “valuable that the governors have proposed to lead this process at the national level” but pointed out that “trying to impose a consensus list is a historical error” since “consensus is not imposed by blood and fire, but is generated naturally”.
Ricardo Quintela: “I speak with Cristina and she also wants a single proposal”
“I speak with Cristina and she also wants a single proposal. Without giving a name but a single proposal that simplifies the possibility of carrying out an electoral strategy”, said the La Rioja president in an interview with Futurock.
Agustín Rossi: “The strange thing is that the unnatural means that there is a STEP”
The Chief of Staff and presidential candidate, Agustín Rossi, insisted on his defense of the PASO and demanded that anyone who wants to do so be allowed to participate, regardless of whether Cristina Kirchner elects a leader.
“The strange thing is that the unnatural means that there is STEP,” Rossi said in an interview with El Destape radio, adding: “Suppose a number of leaders come together and with Cristina’s agreement they nominate a leader, if there is another who wants to go to PASO, why don’t you let him participate”.
From the Civic Coalition they also welcomed Espert
Carrió said that Macri wants to “win to make an alliance with Milei” and issued a harsh warning: “This space seeks to suppress until killing”
Elisa Carrió, pre-candidate for the presidency within Juntos por el Cambio, was dispatched with thick ammunition this Thursday against Mauricio Macri, one of the leaders of the coalition. She assured that the former President wants to “win to make an alliance with Milei” and warned that “That space seeks to repress until killing”.
“It is very difficult to maintain a strategy when the great political leaders do not have a strategy, that is, when the leaders who found the parties do not have a strategy. And above all when those parties, for example the PRO, do not have leaders who ally the different parts of the party, but on the contrary, they split a party in two. This is the case of Macri,” remarked the former deputy in a talk she gave and that she herself published on networks. Read more here.

The La Rioja governor once again supported the importance of the Frente de Todos electing a candidate by consensus, without resorting to an internal election, in line with the text prepared together with the rest of the PJ provincial leaders.

Bullrich welcomed Espert but insisted on criticizing Schiaretti’s possible entry
Despite the claim of the governors, Aníbal Fernández assured that Scioli will not lower his candidacy
The day after the Peronist governors demanded a single candidate, the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, confirmed that Daniel Scioli will not lower his candidacy for the PASO.
“We all want it to be resolved as quickly as possible and if possible without STEP, but all that collides when the figure of “the candidate” appears. How is the candidate going to be chosen, tossing a coin up? No. Doing What about rigged polls that are a shame? No. We got to a situation that we have no choice but to fix and resolve through voting,” Fernández told CNN radio.

The presidential candidate for La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, flatly ruled out the possibility of sealing an agreement with part of Together for Change, arguing that it is too late for that and that it would be a betrayal of people who works with him.
“The problem is that we are very advanced. I was building a structure all this time, I opened the possibility countless times, I even proposed creating a new force so that we could go to an internal one and whoever won would govern. It’s already too late”, declared the economist this morning during an interview on Radio Miter. Read more here.
