The mechanism would take place on Sunday, August 13, where the PASO will be held, but the people of Buenos Aires would have two ballot boxes and two election methods.
On the one hand, with the famous list savannah paperthe pre-candidates for president and national deputies and those of Parla Sur will be voted for.
On the other hand, the single electronic ticket or a single paper ticket where they will choose the pre-candidates for head of government, legislators for the City and Communards.
This decision by the mayor of the city unleashed a very harsh controversy and reactions from all sides, whether opposition or own and, above all, which candidate or space benefits or is harmed by the supposed new election system in CABA.
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta wants to be the next president and could be, but it is clear that the support of the radicals is essential for his presidential aspirations.
Although this new electoral form called “concurrent” gives a nod to the radicals, from the point of view of the only candidate for head of government for the PRO, Jorge Macri is a closure to his aspirations for the highest office in the city since , his immediate rival, Martin Losteau, in a heads-up without dragging the presidential ticket, would reduce the chances of the former president’s cousin’s aspirations.
I believe that the head of government would not be looking for beneficiaries or electoral advantages, quite the contrary, the candidate for president, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, stomps and like all templistas, marks a clear and forceful leadership trend within the PRO, being the clear and dignified successor to the president of the FIFA foundation.
Opponents and their own analyze the supposed decision of the head of government as beneficial or harmful, but no one analyzes that we are within an old system that only benefits the “pretty faces” and vote collectors of a moment of breakdown in Argentine politics.
The reality and the current political context is that a concurrent election in the City of Buenos Aires has three objective approaches where the beneficiary is the democratic electoral system itself.
The city is autonomous and that autonomy it is also necessary when it comes to choosing its governor and its legislators without a box office drag.
The city gives district parties the opportunity to participate independently and without ties to alliances, giving independence and electoral democracy To the system.
The city is modern and that modernization It gives transparency to the 2.5 million voters to directly elect their mayor for the next 4 years.
The holding of concurrent elections would not be a complication for the voters, it only means that the porteños choose their ruler in an autonomous, modern, direct way and, above all, without letting themselves be dragged by a box office figure.
