Following requests from Together for Change to the Córdoba government to call elections six months before the end of his mandate and therefore not to advance the elections, the Minister of Government and Security of Córdoba, Julian Lopezruled out today that Governor Juan Schiaretti informs the date of the provincial elections.
“The call will be made within the terms in force in the legislation that governs the province of Córdoba, with an anticipation of 90 days as established and with a period between 180 and 60 days before the end of the mandate”, assured the provincial official.
Through a formal letter, representatives of the Together for Change coalition, which is made up of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), the Republican Proposal (PRO) and the local Civic Front, today demanded that the provincial president announce his election at the beginning of the Legislative period of February 1. “It is essential for the participants in the democratic contest to know when to vote, in order to prepare their programs, candidates and electoral campaign, according to the date,” the letter states.
When asked about the claim, López maintained that “In no way is he going to refer to his visit to the Legislature on February 1 when he is going to attend the opening of ordinary sessions of 2023”.
From Schiaretti’s environment they assure that “the law is clear”, and that although the elections must be held between 60 and 180 days before the end of the term, and that the Governor must convene 90 days in advance of the date he sets, the president “is within the legal deadlines.”
The requests arose as a result of reports that ensured that the election would take place on May 7, which would not benefit Juntos por el Cambio, which maintains a strong internal position for the definition of the candidacy for governor, which requires a specific date. in order to begin the electoral dispute between Senator Luis Juez and Deputy Rodrigo De Loredo.
