The governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintelaconfirmed that he will be a candidate for the presidency of the Justicialist Party (PJ) despite multiple requests for him Cristina Fernández de Kirchner whoever occupies that position. The space elections will take place on November 17.
“I remain firm as a candidate for president of the PJ. We need our people to vote and for the electorate to choose,” said the president in dialogue with C5N.
Regarding the possible nomination of the former president, Quintela He questioned those who asked for his candidacy on social networks. “It would have to have handled it another way, not on Twitter. They put her in a place she doesn’t want. On Twitter it is said that they want it to be Cristina and if you say yes, You are a footlicker and if you say no, you are a traitor. That’s not the thing.”
In that sense, he referred to his relationship with Kirchner and maintained: “We have the best relationship, She is a woman of permanent consultation. It is above the PJ. I appreciate her, respect her and recognize her as the natural leader of the movement. If Cristina calls me, I would be happy to talk to her“.

At the same time, he highlighted his proposal to preside over the party and remarked: “We went out to tour the country carrying a proposal to try encourage colleagues who were discouraged to stand up and let’s walk a path to unite Peronism throughout Argentina without exclusions and regain power through the votes”.
“We do not have to make up the table with friends, but with leaders who represent the provinces. There are many valuable people who have to be incorporated. The PJ has to move throughout Argentina. A mature and rational conversation is required. We want a federal country,” he added along these lines.
On the other hand, he explained that his nomination was not part of the axes of his last contacts with other governors: “I don’t want to condition or make you feel conditioned. I spoke with them to achieve the unity of Peronism and stated that it is impossible to achieve power without uniting or making an important effort, putting coincidences on the table and leaving egos aside, as a prior step to building an electoral political front.”
