After passing through Córdoba and Santa Fe, two complicated electoral districts for Unión por la Patria, Sergio Massa resumed the campaign today in the Buenos Aires suburbs. He visited the Florencio Varela Industrial Park. Today it was confirmed that next week he will be in Roca and Cipolletti, in the last stretch of the campaign for the runoff with Javier Milei.
Later he confined himself to the Ministry of Economy to pursue management issues. The province of Buenos Aires, where UP achieved the re-election of Axel Kicillof, is the great electoral bastion. Peronism hopes to obtain the winning difference here for the 19th runoff.
In Varela, Massa visited the Decsa Group factory. He spoke with the managers and workers. “We believe in the national industry and that is why we are once morest the idea of indiscriminate economic opening that destroys companies and jobs. We believe in work as an engine of upward social mobility, which is why we are also betting throughout these months to continue growing in job creation,” said Massa.
He message from the candidate and minister was the same as the one he left in different meetings held in Córdoba and Santa Fe (and also last week in Mendoza and La Pampa) with producers, businessmen and cooperative members. “It is iIt is not possible to achieve economic development if it is transformed into an economy of indiscriminate opening because SMEs are destroyed“Massa warned, marking the contrast with the openness proposals for importation of the libertarian candidate, Javier Milei. And he recalled that with the Cambiemos government, “23 thousand SMEs were lost.” Massa thus took the opportunity to refresh the Milei-Macri political agreement.
All Massa’s cannons point at the province of Buenos Aires
As the first district in electoral importance (38% of the national registry), UP is betting that an improvement compared to the already good election of last October 22 in Buenos Aires, It will balance the numbers of more complicated districts, such as those in the central strip of the country (Córdoba, Santa Fe, Mendoza and Entre Ríos). There is talk of the objective of going for a 60-40 in the runoff in favor of Massa.
In some municipalities they risk achieving 70-30. In the general classification, Massa took 7 points from Milei. It is estimated that regarding ten points of difference in the Buenos Aires election implies regarding 4 at the national level.
Days ago, the governor Kicillof warned that UP Buenos Aires was entering into a “permanent campaign” until the runoff. Against speculation regarding the danger of the mayors relaxing following having retained their districts, Kicillof warned that the guard cannot be lowered.
The Minister of the Interior and member of Massa’s campaign command, Wado de Pedro, held meetings with the Buenos Aires mayors on Monday to diagram, day by day, what remains towards the runoff.
Kicillof in Bahía Blanca
This Wednesday in Bahía Blanca (the largest city in southern Buenos Aires that UP beat the PRO), Kicillof warned that in terms of public works “it will make it very difficult to continue.”finish and go deeper if Sergio Massa does not win the next election.”
“Not one meter, not one kilometer of asphalt we will be able to do if they deprive us of federal co-participation, it is not a threat, it is a reality,” he stated.
“We want to continue working with the railway, We have planned investments with Vaca Muerta oil, a future that moves us, that moves us and that fills us with hope. That is not going to happen if Sergio Massa is not president, I say this with complete peace of mind that I am not inventing anything or agitating anything, or scaring anyone,” the re-elected governor insisted.
The call for national unity, a reiterated proposal by Massa
Massa began the day with the publication of a column in the newspaper Clarín titled “From the Government of National Unity to National Union.” In the letter, the candidate reiterated his call to “inaugurate a stage in which dialogue, democratic coexistence and the search for consensus will prevail to resolve the problems and challenges we have as a country,” in case he wins the runoff on the 19th. of November.
“The unity government is the only option to turn the page on a policy guided by personal hatred and move forward. The other is revenge, the perpetuation of the conflict and the polarization that hinders progress,” Massa noted in the opinion column.
“I want to be the president of the NATIONAL UNION. “I want to inaugurate a new stage in the country, with dialogue, democratic coexistence and search for consensus,” wrote Massa, who once more mentioned that with it “the end of the rift” will be achieved.
