Urtubey warns that the alliance with Schiaretti “broke”
Salta leader Juan Manuel Urtubey maintained that “it broke” the “anti-crack” space that he had launched with the Cordovan governor Juan Schiaretti, who could join Together for Change after an agreement with Rodríguez Larreta.
“It is difficult to relaunch the space, it seems that it has been broken,” remarked the former president of Salta in an interview with Futurock.
And he added, about his future: “I will always be closer to discussing in a Peronist inmate than in another where they meet against Peronism.”

Rodríguez Larreta wants as an ally one of the leaders who hurt him the most

In Horacio Rodríguez Larreta’s logic of political construction, two words are repeated as karma in the campaign: “money” and “management”. The head of government and his team presume that an eventual victory in the presidential contest against Patricia Bullrich will be supported on these two pillars. That is why some observers are noisy with the sudden impulse to now incorporate Juan Schiaretti as an electoral partner. The Cordovan governor was one of the allied keys that the Frente de Todos used to extract “money” from Larreta and affect his “management.” Hence the question: Is the Buenos Aires mayor bold or desperate?
It is worth remembering the process to understand the depth of the damage. At the end of June 2020, when in Argentina there was only talk of coronavirus and Alberto Fernández and Larreta enjoyed unprecedented popularity, Cristina Kirchner anticipated her first electoral move thinking of 2023. Clarín told it then. The vice president received surveys that showed the head of government with very high numbers in the province of Buenos Aires and that is why she asked the president to stop treating him as a “friend.” Read more here.

The president of the PRO, Federico Angelini, one of those present at the meeting of the national table of Together for Change that discussed the incorporation of Juan Schiaretti to Together for Change, affirmed that the governor of Córdoba “is a limit”.
“I am willing to give the debate. In Together for Change we have to be clear about what we want to do as of December 10, 2023, it is important to be together but not piled up and represent a process of change in Argentina, otherwise the Argentines will not elect us,” he said in Continental.
Angelini also recalled that the response from the provincial UCR, the PRO, the provincial parties, and the candidate for governor Luis Juez was forceful regarding Schiaretti’s rejection of joining the opposition coalition.

The candidate for governor of Córdoba Luis Juez again rejected the incorporation of Juan Schiaretti to Together for Changein the midst of a strong controversy between Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Patricia Bullrich.
“There is an end of the cycle in Córdoba and we want to take advantage of it. It bothers us when from Buenos Aires with a calculator they want to explain what we have to do, ”he said in dialogue with Continental radio.
The judge also recounted that his presence at the meeting of the Juntos por el Cambio national board “made him enormously uncomfortable” and he responded to the president of the UCR, Gerardo Morales.
“I would not go to Jujuy to say that Milagro Sala must be incorporated, I am respectful of the jurisdictions, I would ask the people of Jujuy how they would broaden their coalition. These guys believe that they can come to Córdoba to tell us what we have to do, who we have to live with, they are totally wrong, ”he declared.

“How are we going to agree with the PJ if they have supported almost all the destructive laws”, he sentenced in dialogue with Radio Miter Córdoba, where he questioned that the head of the Buenos Aires government proposes incorporations into the space eight days before the lists are closed.

An elected mayor in Córdoba will remove a statue of Néstor Kirchner
The monument to Néstor Kirchner was raised in 2011.
Days after being elected mayor in the Cordoba town of Anisacate, Natalia Contini assured that she will remove the statue of Néstor Kirchner that her predecessor placed in 2011 and in its place will be one of the doctor René Favaloro.
Contini, who came to the community headquarters through the alliance between the Civic Front of Luis Juez and the PRO, although without the UCR, maintained that he will fulfill what he had promised in the campaign. “We said it, we will do it, we will even consult it digitally. Because we are not going to repeat what happened to us as neighbors if we were not consulted,” he said, referring to the moment in which it was decided to put the bust.
Anisacate is a town of just over 10,000 inhabitants located just 50 kilometers from the capital Córdoba. The statue of the former president had been raised by Ramón Salazar, who had been mayor of the town since 1999.
