The PRO gives ground in Córdoba and turns purple to compete with the ruling party

Headquarters of Javier Milei’s last campaign act and hostess of the failed May Pact (later signed on July 9 in Tucuman), the province of Córdoba consolidated itself as an attractive geography for the construction of alternatives to Kirchnerism. Dissident Peronists, PRO, libertarians and – to a lesser extent – radicals supported themselves in the second district with the most votes in the country to compete in the electoral scene national. The entire leadership offers him gestures: even Victoria Villarruel will be present this Friday at the inauguration of the Dressage and Folklore Festival in Jesús María and Karina Milei will star in a party event next week.

That is why the former president decided not to leave room for uncertainty and intervene at the PRO headquarters in Córdobawhose ownership is in the hands of the deputy Oscar Agost Carreño It was beginning to be elusive, so that it could be an example of the potential of a coalition: defeating Peronism from Córdoba, which has governed the province since 1999. “Macri kicked the board,” they analyzed for this medium from their surroundingsand stated that “they never understood itbut if they knew what he wanted they would fall on their backs.”

However, the Cordoba representatives of the PRO They are approaching unanimity in forming an alliance with the libertarian figures of the province.

The representative also adheres to that position Laura Rodríguez Machadowhich showed its explicit rejection of the intervention of the PRO due to its proximity to Patricia Bullrich but he hopes that she will take the pen when it comes to defining places on the electoral list. The operation of an eventual alliance continues to be one of the questions of the election year.

The note of dissent was given by himself Agost Carrenoformer head of the PRO but member of the block Federal Meeting, by posting on his social networks that “our commitment must be to build a solid alternative that guarantees a real, responsible and federal change for Argentina. I don’t want the K to return either, but, before announcing alliances on social networks, we must ask ourselves if it is possible to reach a serious political agreement“. “In the PRO we always defended an efficient State, while LLA proposes to dismantle it. If we reach agreement with them, the discussion must be truly federal,” he added.

Inside the Senate, the woman from Córdoba Carmen Álvarez Rivero gave her opinion sincerely when analyzingthat ““PRO Córdoba is a cabaret, it’s anything” and considered that “today Mauritius “He does not have all the support and renewal necessary to be next to or compete with Milei.”although he noted that “It is necessary that they transit in parallel for the PRO to survive“.

“We want integration: all together opponents of the K world,” he said to Scope a deputy from Córdoba who opposes the government’s management of Martin Llaryorawhose legislative arms speak out with increasing vehemence against the agricultural withholding policies supported by the management of Javier Milei. “Until when the field is going to put, put, put, put and never receive good news in return,” the deputy expressed in that line Carlos Gutierrez on their social networks.

The same legislator added: “Many do not know where they stand. Everyone calls me to see what I think and when I ask them what they want they don’t know.” In that uncomfortable situation the provincial radicalism, Opponent of the Córdoba administration but close to the national government with the challenge of maintaining its own identity. “Everything is very busy,” they admitted to this medium, but they stressed that “we must be very cautious throughout this time with the alliance scheme and we must have internal discussion within the party Congress to organize ourselves.” Luis Picat, one of those disaffiliated from the UCR for aligning himself with Javier Milei, skipped that stage.
