The journalist Alejandro Fantino got into the discussion between the PRO and La Libertad Avanza, He defended the decision of the head of Government to split the elections in the City and crossed Patricia Bullrich for her criticism of the Buenos Aires official. “It is unusual that the Minister of National Security dedicates herself to attacking and questioning the head of the City Government and her team without knowing the proposal that will be presented. Criticizing without knowing is not acceptable“.
The nation’s Security Minister had assured that Macri’s decision was driven by “convenience for the politician.” In this sense, Bullrich fired: “To what Buenos Aires citizen could it seem such an important election to vote for City legislators?

Alejandro Fantino’s defense of Jorge Macri
In his program Multiverso Fantino, the journalist crossed the national government official for criticizing Macri for his decision to split the CABA elections. In this sense, Fantino maintained that if “La Libertad Avanza is going to eliminate the PASO and La Libertad Avanza makes a lot of moves because it is politically convenient” then the head of the Buenos Aires government has “all the right in the world to his political tactics and organize the elections as you think you have to do them“.
Fantino also highlighted that Macri seeks to “eliminate the PASO” and added that “When they make a decision above, or make a national decision, everyone can do it“.
Along these lines, the journalist reflected the situation that exists between Macri and LLA with the intention of the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, to also unfold the elections. “Kicillof wants to unfold. If he unfolds, it is not in Cristina’s interest. And the entire libertarian world supports his unfolding. There is an opinion in a way because it suits the Government“, Fantino concluded.
