Facundo Manes asked to add Juan Schiaretti to Together for Change. In a radio interview Network He said that the governor of Córdoba “is a man of management and of great prestige and that he would be welcome in the coalition.” But he warned: “You have to see if he wants to.”
“All people who want to join are welcome if they are honest and have management,” Manes said when asked about which people he intends to add to the opposition space and if those eventual partners would be from the sector of Juan Schiaretti and Juan Manuel Urtubey.
The governor of Córdoba Juan Schiaretti and the national deputy Facundo Manes had held a meeting in Buenos Aires a little over a month ago. Until now, each one maintained their electoral strategy position, and from the Córdoba Civic Center they ratified that strategy. They appreciated Manes’ concepts and ruled out the possibility of Schiaretti joining Juntos.
After the last meeting with Manes, Schiaretti adjusted his national projection and met with Juan Manuel Urtubey with whom they agreed to elaborate an anti-crack proposal to which the governor of San Luis, Alberto Rodríguez Saá, later joined. This group hopes that Manes will be the one to leave Juntos por el Cambio and join the “anti-crack” space.
“There are many good leaders but the public discussion is in the crack and if Argentina remains divided it will remain stagnant. We have the obligation to expand the opposition coalition” said the national deputy. However, he warned that the figure of Javier Milei should not be taken into account for that space.
“The limits of this coalition must be made clear. We are a democratic force, progressive in the sense of being economically liberal, pro-market but also believing that the State is necessary. Diffusion is not a large State but health, safety, education has to be with a strong commitment from the State. Within this frame, the forces are welcome but there are certain limits because you can win an election but then you cannot govern ”, he maintained.
Manes also spoke of the leading role that the UCR should take in the upcoming elections: “I belong to the identity of a historic party that wants to modernize. That he speak to the youth, that he expand and that he is not second to the Pro, that he lead and fight to lead the opposition coalition and that he speak to the popular sectors; we have to return to radicalism and we cannot always follow the Pro”.
Finally, the national deputy said the solution for an alternative in Argentina is to broaden the coalition to the popular sectors. “You cannot transform the country with 50% poverty without speaking to the popular sectors; the challenge for me is to collaborate to broaden the coalition and speak to them.”
