After the confirmation of Cristina Kirchner’s candidacy to preside over the Justicialista Party, both the former president and who will be her rival in the internal elections, the Riojan governor Ricardo Quintelabegan the task of obtaining endorsements and institutional support from the provincial PJs. In addition to being a requirement to be able to appear in the race, the support of party structures at the local level It is a key point to guarantee control of the votes throughout the country.
The deadline for registration of lists expires in less than two weeks, October 19and the national PJ elections will be on November 17, mirroring those that will take place in the Buenos Aires PJ. In this framework, as occurs with the registration of a party at the national level, a procedure that was recently carried out Freedom Advanceswhen it required legal status in five jurisdictions, in this case the candidates to preside over the PJ must have the institutional support of at least five provincial branches. That is what the former president and the governor of Rioja focused on in these hours.
The latter already has the endorsements of the PJ of San Luis, Salta, Misiones, La Rioja and was waiting for the letter Neuquen. There the party presides Darío Martínez, former Secretary of Energy of the Nation during Alberto Fernández. Last week, Quintela arrived in the capital of Neuquén to sign Martínez’s support, at an event at the party headquarters where national senator Silvia Sapag was also present. Senator Oscar Parrilli and provincial deputy Lorena Parrilli, from the orbit of Kirchnerism, did not participate. Today in Neuquén there was silence, although in Riojan lands they trust that the stamped letter will arrive.
“We are fine, we traveled throughout the country and we continue working,” they mentioned from La Rioja, where they understand that Quintela has the ability to expand the call to the party and attract those who stay away, like the governor of Salta Gustavo Sáenz, Osvaldo Jaldo from Tucumán, Raúl Jalil from Catamarca or even the Cordoba Peronism of Juan Schiaretti and President Martín Llaryora.
Meanwhile, Cistina Kirchner received the support of the PJ of Tierra del Fuego this Tuesdaywhich joins that of Buenos Aires chaired by his son Máximo, as well as districts such as Santa Cruz, Chubut, San Juan, Chaco, Formosa or the intervened parties of Jujuy or Corrientes.
The former president held a meeting with Jose Luis Giojaformer head of the party, and on Monday he will meet with Sergio Uñacnational senator and former San Juan president. Meanwhile, at the Instituto Patria they mention that the coordination in the provinces is in charge of Gildo Insfranwho they expect to speak out.
The situations in districts such as Catamarca and Tucumánwith both governors drawn into the “dialoguists” group with Javier Milei. In the first case the PC is in the hands of Lucía Corpacci, the former president and current senator, close to Cristina, with whom she met this Tuesday. In the second, the leadership falls to Juan Manzur, also a senator and former governor, who also maintains a provincial internal relationship with Jaldo. Manzur is not a Kirchnerist, but he maintains a bridge with Cristina, with whom he was even in conflict.
Collaborators close to Cristina seek to dismantle the idea that her potential party presidency would be closed doors. “Cristina is committed to unity and containing everyone,” they expressed. And they also support the theory of the inconvenience of a governor being the president of the party, since he is “obliged to negotiate with the Nation.”
The other requirement to present a candidacy is to obtain endorsements from 2% of the registry, about 130 thousand endorsements that must come from at least eight different districts. A procedure more than anything administrative.
Of course, the most uncomfortable position is that of Axel Kicillofwho regularly receives Camporista missiles, and has national prospects for 2027. The man from Buenos Aires, who recognizes Cristina’s leadership despite everything, was in La Rioja in August, at the event where Quintela presented his candidacy for the PJ, and now he He found out about Cristina’s application for a trip to Mexico. Kicillof’s word is awaited in all camps.
Furthermore, in the other provinces governed by the PJ, after last week’s outcry over the nomination of the former president, the debate revolved around what they understand would be a tougher rhetoric against Mileito settle on a more extreme opposition embodied by Cristina Kirchner, or on a orthodox, traditional Peronismwhich seeks to incorporate distant leaders, if the party were left in the hands of Quintela.
Quintela ratified his candidacy
The governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, reaffirmed this Monday his candidacy to the leadership of Justicialist Party. “My project is to drive a process of unity”, He stated after learning of Cristina Kirchner’s nomination.
He provincial chief came out to reaffirm his desire to lead the historic match, hours after the former president announced her intentions to lead the PJ. “I also want to debate in unity. I believe, like Cristina Kirchner, that there is no one left over here and also my project is to lead a process of unity, with everyone in it,” he said.
“I believe Christina and of course I believe in my own convictions,” he said Quintela, and in a message to the members of the PJ he said: “To all the companions and companions of P.J. of the provinces that send me their messages: I continue forward and will continue meeting face to face with you in every corner of the country.
