Lisandro Catalán began to walk Tucumán and feeds the versions of his candidacy for national deputy

The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Nation, Lisandro Catalán from Tucumán, added a new visit to Tucumán and remained distant from the Government House, unlike on other occasions. Party contacts prevailed that strengthened what is already being talked about in the corridors of the world of local politics and that is that he would lead the list of candidates for national deputies for the Tucumán Freedom Advance (LLA) in the legislative elections of 2025, although he denies. “I cannot be distracted by candidates, if I will work politically for the LLA in Tucumán,” is the phrase he often utters to journalists, every time he is consulted about his aspirations.

The institutional tour took place in the municipality of Bella Vista, 35 kilometers from the capital of Tucumán, led by the radical mayor Paula Quileswhere both toured public works in progress. There Catalán also had a closer conversation with Quiles and his radical peers from Concepción, Alejandro Molinuevoand Yerba Buena, Pablo Macchiarola. The meeting closed with a meeting with supporters of La Libertad Avanza from eastern Tucumán. “Our objective is to generate the conditions so that the productive forces of Argentina are unleashed, generating work and economic growth that reaches everyone,” he said.

The pure and simple party activity took place in Yerba Buena, in the Oliveto event hall, a municipality that is next to San Miguel de Tucumán and with a traditional anti-Peronist vote, at least, in recent years. Nothing was missing, there was even merchandising that included the gift of caps. Among those present, businessmen stood out Jorge Rocchia Ferrofrom the Los Balcanes Group, which a few weeks ago announced to be “the Peronist leg of LLA”; and Fernando Carrerasfrom the citrus company Citromax, among others.

From the world of politics were the provincial legislator Joseph Macomea key piece in the armed libertarian black palate; the national deputies Paula Omodeo (I BELIEVE) and Mariano Campero (UCR), who vote with the Casa Rosada in Congress; the radical legislator Manuel Courelwho voted against the 2025 Provincial Budget project in the Chamber and which was approved this week, and representatives of the Tucumán PRO.

They spoke Matías SabateTucumán representative of LLA, and Macome But the most anticipated was Catalán’s exhibition, which was delayed due to the demand for selfies. “Everyone wanted a photo with Lisandro, no one says it out loud but there is consensus that he is our candidate because he has everyone’s support,” a councilor who participated in the meeting reflected to Ámbito.

In the speech of the deputy chief of staff, several aspects were highlighted. He called for opposition unity, both for the 2027 provincial elections and for next year’s legislative elections, and that is why he emphasized the attendance of Omodeo and Campero. “Tucumán needs a strengthened opposition that promotes a truly transformative project. Let’s leave the parties aside and carry forward the ideas that unite us”said. His reference to the parties was not coincidental, since part of Tucumán radicalism would not agree with an alliance with LLA. Yes, Campero could do it, since having been a candidate for the UCR to reach Congress, he has his own party, like Omodeo, who is related to businessmen who make up the Rural Society of Tucumán.

He also clarified that LLA will bring its own candidates in the 2025 legislative elections, so any possibility of an alliance with sectors of Peronism related to the Tucumán Government House was ruled out. And, in addition, it was confirmed that he will preside over the Tucumán libertarian party. “The provinces and most municipalities suffered many years of deterioration, postponement and decline in the quality of people’s lives,” he said. “In the national Executive we successfully concluded our first year of government, in which we organized economic issues that are also fundamental to be able to organize management. We are going to continue working to solve the problems of Argentines,” he added.

It was noticed

The absence of the provincial legislator drew attention Ricardo Bussipresident of Fuerza Republicana, who was the backbone for the 2023 assembly of LLA. It is not the first time, since in the recent presentation of LLA in the province, with the presence of Karina Milei in an event as the main speaker, FR did not put its muscle into play, so the event did not have a large attendance . This week, Bussi highlighted in a contact with the press that “Fuerza Republicana is not La Libertad Avanza but they do form an alliance because President Javier Milei’s proposals coincide with the historic principles of FR.”

Bussi consulted by Scope Regarding whether he was at the political rally in Yerba Buena that had Catalán as the main speaker, he responded succinctly: “I didn’t have the opportunity to do it”. This medium insisted and asked if he was invited, considering that there were leaders from other parties. “No,” was his laconic return. Catalán’s intention to aspire to a seat in Congress would collide with the aspirations of Bussismo, which would claim to be the head of the list.

Before ending his speech, Catalán highlighted the role of Hernan Iramaina businessman who until a few months ago moved in the close environment of Governor Osvaldo Jaldo and was a member of the mayor’s cabinet of the capital of Tucumán, Rossana Chahlauntil he left and joined the libertarian space. Due to his experience, he is one of those responsible for staging events and press conferences.
