The presidential candidate Javier Milei finally prevailed in the 16 departments of Neuquén in the PASO on Sunday. With more than 98% scrutinized, the only result that was favorable for Sergio Massa of Unión por la Patria, in Catan Lil, was reversed, so the map of the province ended up completely painted with the colors of La Libertad Avanza.

the elected governor rolando figueroa recognized yesterday that I expected an outcome like the one that happened and he was cautious in giving an opinion about the libertarian leader, particularly because he considers that there is still “open ending”.

“We saw this scenario. That is why it was very important for us to convey a message of confidence about what is going to happen, regardless of who the President of the Republic is,” said the president, who said he saw “with good eyes” that leaders of his political arm have integrated the list that was imposed in the primaries, in reference to Nadia Márquez.

He considered that Milei’s bump was similar to the one that occurred in the province on April 16 insofar as it was “a reset of politics”, in this national case, and with the caveat that there are two other instances before the final result. “There will be a war of thirds in which fourths participate. This is because we must not lose focus on the 30% of people who did not go to vote,” said Figueroa, who analyzed that the political forces should take charge of seducing that electorate that felt apathy about going to vote.

For the governor-elect, his decision to stay “neutral” in the national election, something he claimed to have done after analyzing that there were three possible scenarios for winners and that there are members of his front in those three political spaces.

He did not want to give his opinion on a possible dollarization of the economy or a privatization process, as Milei anticipates in his proposals, since he maintained that he does not answer hypothetical questions. In addition, he assessed that there is still an “open end” for the generals or an eventual second round.

The governor Omar Gutierrez also gave his opinion yesterday on Sunday’s elections and also acknowledged have anticipated the favorable outcome for Freedom Advances.

“It was a message to the entire leadership. Regardless of what happens in October, for me We are going through the post-crack, there are no more two”, he analyzed yesterday at a press conference. He also maintained that the result obtained by the Neuquino Popular Movement was “more than acceptable” considering that it was with a short ballot and stressed that the list managed to prevail in some localities in the category of national deputies.

He also observed that there were almost 10,000 invalid votes, due to the difficulty for voters to combine the ballots with their presidential option, and also almost 47,000 white votes. “There is a lot to grow and to work on”raised.

The candidate who prevailed in the internal party of the provincial party was the official Sandro Badilla, who was fifth at the individual level in the general result.

If Sunday’s trend were maintained in the general elections, the seats would go to Nadia Márquez, an ally of Figueroa who has already anticipated that she will occupy it over the one she won in the Legislature, and to Francisco Sánchez, if he is re-elected.

Juan Luis “Pepé” Ousset will be the next Chief of Staff


The governor-elect affirmed yesterday that he has “an advanced draft” of the ministries law that he will present in December, when he takes office, and confirmed that its structure will have fewer ministries than the current 12.

He confirmed that Juan Luis “Pepé” Ousset, one of his main advisors, will be the chief of staff, which is why he is the second name that he confirms behind Julieta Corroza, who would take charge of one of the landslides that he foresees for Social Development.

Figueroa insisted yesterday that there are no other people with assigned places in his future assembly and clarified that, when choosing them, it will be “essential to know how they play as a team.”

He also denied that businessman Carlos Etcheverry, brother of Rubén, the former head of GyP, is going to be the one to take over Energy, as a national media outlet assumed.

“The good thing is that there are people thinking of names that I did not think of,” he ironized and maintained that “operations abound.” . “There is nothing, much less Energy. They are not going to know anything: they are going to see him the day he takes office and they are going to say, who is he? ”, She affirmed.

During the “open agenda” press conference that he gave yesterday at a hotel in the capital, the governor-elect confirmed that the 2024 budget will be in the hands of the current management, but asked that an “elastic” article be incorporated that allows readjusting the items to the new ministerial structure to be presented in December.

He said that he is concerned about the deficit of the province, which in the first half of the year closed with almost 20,000 million red in its financial result, but anticipated that it would maintain the rises due to inflation for the state. “We are going to work so that the numbers give, but the salary must be earned,” he clarified.
