The head of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió, announced that she will compete as a pre-candidate for president in the primary elections in Together for Change to “guarantee the unity” of the main opposition coalition. She advanced: “In the Civic Coalition there will be a candidate, it will be me.”
The leader of Together for Change said that she will compete in the primaries “to guarantee the unity” of Together for Change, given the scenario of multiple fights in the coalition. She said that she does not intend to win in the PASO, but that “there is no debate to the death”, in view of the presidential elections.
Carrió spoke of the importance of having “unity in national legislators of the entire coalition, in provincial legislators and that in any case the internal ones are made with a greater electoral offer in the PASO”.
The leader anticipated that she will not promote her candidacy until after May: “I don’t campaign while I’m working,” and warned: “The wear and tear of Together for Change is due to the advancement of candidacies.”
What did Carrió say about Macri’s uncertainty about whether or not he will be a candidate in the presidential elections?
The leader of the Civic Coalition said that the delay of the former president, Mauricio Macri, in defining whether he will compete for the Executive again “is a problem for the PRO, which is going to solve it”, and said that “if Patricia Bullrich, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Macri want to be candidates, there is no problem”, in statements to Radio Miter.
Elisa Carrió winked at José Luis Espert: “JxC can have him as a candidate for governor”
Carrió joined the winks of the PRO and the liberal leg of the main opposition coalition to finalize an agreement with the Buenos Aires pre-candidate for Avanza Libertad governor, José Luis Espert, in the province of Buenos Aires, as anticipated by TN. Carrió stated: “Together for change you can have Espert as a candidate for governor, with a unity of legislators.”
The most outstanding phrases of Elisa Carrió:
“If Macri wants to present himself, he presents himself.”
“My experience is that Javier Milei does not want to be in Together for Change.”
“I think of a humanist and republican offer, I cannot be with someone who talks about organ trafficking.”
“Together for Change is democratic and has no intention of overthrowing a government.”
“I worked with the technical teams of the UCR, the PRO and the Civic Coalition with Fernando Sánchez, they are extraordinary.”
“The leadership will be chosen by the electorate.”
“We are guarantors of the republic.”
