The governor of Tucumán maintained that, although mediated, he maintains dialogue with the national senator Manzur. It will seek to build bridges with the national leadership of the PJ, chaired by Cristina Fernández.
The governor of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldo, stated that one of his upcoming objectives is to ensure that Peronism goes “as united as possible” to this year’s legislative elections. To achieve this, he will seek to establish and preside over a table at which the most institutionally representative leaders of the province would sit, from where the unity list would emerge. He confirmed that he maintains contact with the national senator Juan Manzur and that he intends to get closer to the national leadership of the Justicialista Party led by the former president of the Nation, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
In Tucumán, four seats of national deputies are at stake, which are currently occupied by Jaldista parliamentarians. Elia Fernández de Mansilla and Agustin Fernandezthe radical Roberto Sanchez and Paula Omodeofrom the CREO party, which responds to a sector of the business community and the countryside. If you look at how they voted in 2024, it could be conjectured that these are four votes related to the Casa Rosada, since they almost always voted for projects functional to the president’s management. Javier MileYo. Mansilla and Fernández, more Gladys Medinamake up the Independence Bloc in the Lower House, a space that split from Unión por la Patria, at the urging of Jaldo, shortly after Milei took office. The action produced fissures within Peronism.
For this reason, to achieve a balanced assembly that contains the majority of Tucumán Peronism, Jaldo will have to weave agreements with the patience of a Swiss goldsmith, especially due to the differences shown by minority sectors aligned with Cristina Fernández, due to the support of the Tucumán leader to the management of Milei. It will not be an easy task for Jaldo, but he trusts that this unity will be achieved with a dialogue table that would constitute the vice-governor. Michael Acevedothe surrogate president of the Legislature, Sergio Mansillaand the mayor of San Miguel de Tucumán, Rossana Chahla.
“The four of us who have institutional responsibility have agreed that we are not going to neglect the management but we have to start organizing the political part of the Justicialista Party that will come out with its own list. We do not have names yet and there are different spaces in which we do not think alike, but we will seek to have an approach so that Peronism is as united as possible,” said Jaldo, during an interview with a program of the newspaper La Gaceta.
The provincial head revealed that he maintains contact with the national senator Manzur, also president of the Tucumán PJ, although mediated by Acevedo. “I am not talking to the president of the party but I am talking to the vice-governor, permanently, who is the interlocutor, and so we are in contact. We have to find a way to communicate,” he said. Likewise, he pointed out that he intends to build bridges with the national leadership of Peronism, chaired by Cristina Fernández. “I don’t have any dialogue with the president of the party, I didn’t have it before, I don’t have it today. But there are people who do and with whom we will surely find a way for Peronism to be as united as possible”he expressed. “Tucumán must bring deputies who defend the province and help this governor to govern, who have a position of dialogue and not an opposition for the opposition’s sake,” he defined.
Signs
Jaldo’s statements about a link – although mediated – with Manzur and show that the bridges of dialogue are not cut, despite the fact that the former governor was always refractory to Milei’s policies, although he almost made no statements in that direction but did support projects of the Union for the Homeland bloc, are consistent with the incorporation of a trusted man of the national senator.
This week, Jaldo started with a change of officials in his cabinet and the attention was focused on the architect Hugo Cabralwho took over as the new head of the Provincial Housing Institute of Tucumán, an area to which the governor intends to give particular attention, after the provincialization of the now defunct Procrear Program, which provides for the construction of 3,100 homes, as reported by Ámbito. The original project, in the management of the former president Alberto Fernandezhad Cabral as one of its authors, who played with Manzur in the internal match that pitted him against Jaldo and in which the former won. For this support, Cabral was appointed Secretary of Territorial Articulation of the Nation and then headed the Temporary Special Executing Unit “Institutional and International Affairs Management Unit.”
