In a climate of extreme tension, the PRO National Council canceled a Zoom that was scheduled for this Tuesday morning to discuss the concurrent splitting that he announced Horacio Rodriguez Larreta for the Buenos Aires elections and that put the party of Mauricio Macri at the edge of the fracture. Meanwhile, the head of government had a meeting with Jorge Macri at the Teatro Colón: “The meeting was good and they agreed to continue talking,” said relatives of the former president’s cousin.
The mayor received a strong offensive in the last hours from Macri, Patricia Bullrich and Maria Eugenia Vidal against his decision that the city of Buenos Aires vote with two ballot boxes, separately for national and Buenos Aires candidates. For Larreta, the only thing he did is comply with the Buenos Aires Electoral Code. For his internal critics, he only seeks to favor the radical Martin Lousteau. Be that as it may, this topic is tensing to the max positions within the PRO and will have consequences within Together for Changewhere the UCR also has a fraction more identified with Bullrich and far from Gerardo Morales, the party leader close to the mayor of Buenos Aires.
Bullrichism accused the sector of the head of government of Dodge a call to the national leadership of the PRO, which was requested last Saturday, when Larreta’s decision came to light, although the meeting lost weight before the confrontation that opened the confirmation of the concurrent split. In larretism they fear that Bullrich summon anyway to the National Council of the party to force a position contrary to what was decided in the Buenos Aires territory.
Speculation grew after it was confirmed that Bullrich had a meeting this Monday afternoon with the federal judge with electoral jurisdiction María Servini, for which reason it is suspected of a possible decision by the hard wing of the PRO of challenge judicially the larretista resolution.
Those close to Bullrich confirmed to infobae contact with Servini: “It had been scheduled for a long time. They talked about everything a bit, but not from the city of Buenos Aires”, they assured. In Rodríguez Larreta’s inner circle, on the other hand, they are sure that there they talked about the Buenos Aires electoral announcements and that a judicial challenge could arise from that meeting.
The frictions were the dominant note in the PRO throughout the day. The first to criticize the decision of his friend Rodríguez Larreta was María Eugenia Vidal: “The PRO and the JxC that we promised the Argentines is not this. There is no personal ambition that may be above our values and the team, We are the change or we are nothing.” wrote on Twitter. Immediately, Macri shared the publication of the former governor and stated, synthetically: “What a profound disappointment.”
