—How do you analyze the results of the split provincial elections?
—First, there was a broad decision to split on the part of the governors with the intention of distancing themselves from the worst government of the last forty years in Argentina. That is why the ruling party of Entre Ríos calls attention to aligning itself with the national policy of Kirchnerism. It is practically the only province that made that decision. Entre Ríos came, in 2019, to unfold. The governors tried to dodge the higher inflation, following the hyper, but, in general, they might not. Clearly there was a demonstration to punish populist and Kirchnerist policies in San Juan, San Luis, Chubut, Santa Fe, among others. That is why two scenarios appear: those that revalidated as Formosa, Córdoba or Salta, and the provinces where JxC gave surprises and won. But in general I see a punishment to officialism for what happens in the country. I see a very strong wave once morest Kirchnerism.
—Within this framework, wasn’t it necessary to expand JxC more? In San Juan, San Luis and Chubut it was done.
—That has to do with experiences where we have won and where there was a lot of amplitude. In Mendoza, where there was an agreement with a part of the PJ; in Jujuy, where the lieutenant governor of Morales was the president of the local justicialismo; in Corrientes, with an alliance of more than 28 parties. In the Federal Capital it also occurs. We have thirty political groups in Juntos por Entre Ríos, the largest in the country. And we are convinced that it is the way to win and to govern and make the necessary reforms.
—How is the political climate for campaigning in Entre Ríos?
—Obviously it is clear that people have anger and frustration with politics and with politicians. But, for this reason, for me the reception that I receive in every corner of the province has a doubly special value. For that I am infinitely grateful. Not only is the situation economically and socially dramatic, but there is a row with politicians that, luckily, does not affect my relationship with the people.
—Having unified the provincial elections with the national ones is it better or does it take the provincial discussion off axis?
—Making the decision to align the elections at the last moment that the law allowed has the flavor of political speculation. And clearly, even if they don’t say it, it implies a very strong alignment with the national policies of Kirchnerism. I would have liked more a discussion regarding the transformations that Entre Ríos needs. The only argument in favor of not splitting is the only one that the ruling party did not express: the cost of an election. But they didn’t mention it.
—At the national level, do you see a three-thirds election or polarization in JxC and the ruling party?
-Don’t know. It seems that as the days go by, the difficulty of putting together a proposal to govern the country in a few months becomes more noticeable, which for some takes years. It took Macri more than ten years to finish generating an assembly to reach the presidency. On the one hand, you have a proposal that tries to capitalize on people’s anger with politics, like Milei’s, and on the other, the intention of re-election of the worst government in the last forty years. In my opinion, this election has more to do with what we can do from JxC than with what the rest of the opposition or the ruling party can do.
“Did Milei deflate?”
-Could be. It makes sense in the sense of the difficulty involved in putting together something consistent and serious in such a short time.
—Larreta or Bullrich?
—I choose JxC. The truth is that in Entre Ríos we have formed a unity list with the national legislative candidacies and that forces me to be careful with my position at this time. I’m going with both tickets.
—Are you afraid that this week the inmate Bullrich-Larreta will get out of hand?
—I am sure, because I personally spoke with both of them, that on the same 13th at night we will be together pulling the same side, aware of what people are expecting of us.
—Did the election of Massa as a candidate strengthen the ruling party or weaken it?
—The fact that Massa is a candidate for president is clearly the re-election of those who are ruling today. It is not a good choice.
