“We are not going to complete anything. The guarantees have been presented and they disappeared”. On Saturday morning, from the smallest circle of Ricardo Quintela They marked their position regarding the decision of the electoral board of the Justicialist Party. The presiding body Armando Cabrera from Formosa demands “Federals, a cry from the heart” replace the almost 14 thousand contested guarantees to be able to participate in the intern against Cristina Kirchner on November 17.
“We don’t have to complete anything, we are not going to complete something that we did present,” he added in dialogue with Scope collaborators close to the Riojan, where they confirmed that On Monday they will take the case to court. The decision for that space was formalized hours later through a statement. “We reject the decision of the party’s Electoral Board on the non-officialization of our ‘Federal’ list, based on totally incorrect and out-of-date arguments,” the letter says in its introduction. For Quintela’s representatives, Jorge Yoma and Daniel Llermanos, the time to reject guarantees had already expired and all that remained was to correct observations in the formation of the list.
The versions are crossed, in the environment of Cristina Kirchner, who heads the “Homeland First” listthey ignore the board’s decision and clarify that this body of fifteen members is made up of leaders from all areas, and that the decision was unanimous. He did not sign the Puntana Eugenia Catalfamo, former national senator and bishop of Alberto Rodríguez Saáone of the vices on Quintela’s payroll. Those present at that meeting say that he was absent regarding the closing of the conclave, a fact that does not take away from the unanimity of the resolution. But in the Rioja camp they accuse that The minutes of the meeting were already written when the meeting began on Friday at 6:30 p.m.without chances of changing even a comma.
Board neutrals consulted by Scope They expressed that there were errors of all kinds in the presentation of Quintela’s list. “In general, if endorsements are missing, they should have photocopies. In some cases some data is missing. They should have no problems correcting the flagged problems within 24 hours,” they said.
The deadline for the meeting to re-issue expires on Sunday at 11. In the Rioja president’s bunker there were hectic hours but nothing indicates that they will comply with the demand, and therefore only “First the Homeland” will remain standing as the only one list. Thus, the conduct of internal elections will be in the hands of Justice.
“What the board never said in that writing is that all the endorsements are in the digital record,” they said in the “Federales” trench, and they insist that “What they are proposing is crazy, it is a device of very bad faith”.

“Everything has been poorly planned from the beginning. Peronism has not held elections in more than 30 years. So We have no idea how to carry out an electoral process. But there is no desire to carry out an internal one either. So, for the next time, no interns are called directly, they are called to generate a unity list,” another member of the electoral board, from the neutrals, said in dialogue with Ámbito. And he added: “We live with a regulation that is from 20 years ago and that was never modified, it has nothing to do with our current context and what we experience in Peronism.”
Quintela’s strategy was finalized this Saturday, after noon, through a video conference that resulted in the statement released through the networks. “From our space, we demand that the correct fulfillment of the process be guaranteed, in which transparency and democratic rights prevail,” mentions the text, which is established “by virtue of the fact that The deadline provided for in Articles 21 and 22 of the current regulatory complex has expired.to make official the list that nominates comrade Ricardo Clemente Quintela as a candidate for President of the PJ.”
Among the possible scenarios now appears the chance that the internal elections of Peronism will end up being postponed due to this battle that will continue in the courts. Until a few days ago, voices of leaders, mainly close to Quintela, mentioned that there were few days to organize the logistics of an election for which three million members are qualified. A larger register, for example, than that of the general elections in Uruguay that are taking place this weekend. Although, of course, in the PJ participation is not mandatory.
In any case, especially from “Primero la Patria” they moved forward to obtain the six thousand ballot boxes that were originally requested from the Nation. The national government contributed 3,200 and the rest would be paid through a donation from the CGT. Costs were also no longer an issue, as were other aspects of logistics. Thus, consensus began to be generated for a vote to be held on November 17. At most, the postponement would have been one week and not until March as other leaders requested.
For this reason, Kirchnerism now believes that “gate guarantees” It will give the Riojan the possibility of extending the deadlines, or of brandishing the flag of proscription, as he hinted on Friday in a statement in which he denounced attempts to “privatize” the party. A direct shot at La Cámpora. In relation to guarantees, the representative of the PJ, Eduardo López Wesselhoefftstated: “That the guarantees were stolen is a most childish excuse.” In statements to AM750, he maintained that “Quintela’s presentation is missing 10,000 endorsements” and that “there are differences between the pendrive and the paper medium.” The uses and customs in any electoral campaign lead to guarantees always being kept in the drawer to be put in place as a replacement in the face of potential objections from the electoral board, especially when it is presumed that that body is playing against. That bundle of papers doesn’t seem to be available.
“In the end, as much as we demand democracy within, we do not have it. We do not have democracy, there is no federalism, there is no dialogue, there is no participation of all movements. The documentation is not going to be presented because it had already been presented and was corrected,” they told Ámbito from a space that decided to accompany Quintela. “It is difficult for the interior that we will ever be able to lead the National Justicialist Party, they are excessive, restrictive regulations, which are increasingly patched to block everyone other than the power, which has more structure,” he added.
The arm wrestling in the PJ, of which is also expectant Javier Milei In his attempts to bring only Cristina Kirchner into the ring to easily polarize, he entered a state of uncertainty. A stain for the internal democracy of Peronism, which needs to normalize the institutional framework to think about 2025. And, perhaps, in 2027.
