“They privatized the party. They will not be able to take away Peronism“, is the suggestive title signed by the governor of La Rioja, who competes for the presidency of the PJ against Cristina Kirchner. “I came telling my colleagues that It was time to end the old ways.with the same tricks and ways with which things had been decided in the last years of party life and the dynamics of decision-making,” introduced Quintela, who concluded: “The decision that the Electoral Board of the Justicialista Party has just taken reaffirms that what we came to change is alive and entrenched“.
Then, he pointed out against his internal rival: “I still want to believe that the will expressed by comrade Cristina in her public letter a few days ago was true. But it is difficult for me to believe it at this stage of events.” His analysis continued: “Since a group of colleagues pushed Cristina to break into the scene of the party’s internal electoral disputewhat could have been a path of openness, participation and democracy became a tortuous process of obstruction.”
“Those who continue to believe that politics is submission were not, are not and will not be willing to compete democratically.“said the Riojan, who understood that “they can snatch and privatize a party structure but what they will not be able to do is rob it of its vocation for participation, openness, desire to debate and embrace everyone who has thousands of colleagues.” .
To conclude, Quintela wrote: “For a few days there will be a lot of talk about what just happened. It is not the important thing, an internal dispute is never the most important thing. The most important thing is to be with the people who suffer from the adjustment policies“.
The Electoral Board gave Quintela 24 hours to “correct the deficiencies” on his list
Tension continues in the definitions of authorities of the Justicialist Party (PJ). This Friday, authorities from the Electoral Board gave 24 hours to Ricardo Quintelaone of the candidates for party president, to present the 13,196 endorsements that remain to reach the minimum number required by the electoral regulations.
In the statement, signed by Juan Manuel Olmos and Eduardo López Wesselhoefft, representatives of the PJ at the national level, it is noted that the party Electoral Board “unanimously resolved to make the list official”First the country‘ and grant a single, non-extendable period of 24 hours to the list ‘Federals: a cry from the heart’ to present the missing documentation and/or correct deficiencies in your presentation“.
“After an exhaustive analysis of compliance with the requirements established in the electoral regulations and after the challenges presented and the replacements made by the intervening lists, it has been verified that the list ‘First the country‘, headed by Cristina Fernández de Kirchnerhas presented 106,125 guarantees plus 27,287 in reserve,” the document states.
On the other hand, the list headed by Ricardo Quintela “has presented 70,531, with 60,128 verifiable guarantees, valid results of 48,529 computable guarantees, so 13,196 would be subtracted to reach the total required number of the minimum 2% of the affiliate register established in Electoral Regulation No. 62,465″.
To conclude, the statement reiterates that “due to these shortages, A final deadline of 24 hours was granted to the ‘Federals: a cry from the heart’ list so that the list can deliver the missing physical documentation and the correction of the digital records presented”.
