Opposition Peronism
Cristina and Quintela, on the other hand, share the same opposition profile to Milei and that is why there is a non-aggression pact between them.

On this point she stated: “I want to tell you that I am willing, once again, to accept the challenge of debating in unity because if I am also clear about something, it is that there is no one left over here. However, unity needs direction and a project to build the best possible Peronism in an Argentina that has become impossible for the majority of its inhabitants.”
Quintela He revealed that he found out about the nomination through a message from the senator Eduardo Wado de Pedro. “She has a magnitude that exceeds the PJ. I don’t think she should stoop to leading the game, when she leads a larger space,” he said.

“I had not planned (her application), if I knew it, I would put myself under her orders,” he later admitted. Immersed in the debate, the governor stated that on Monday he will seek to communicate with Cristina to discuss the future of the party. Regarding his application, Quintela assured that he is in a “path of no return“. “I am not looking for the support of the governors but of the bases. I don’t want to compromise them, no governor has expressed himself. You have to let it be like that. They are all colleagues and friends,” he added.
