In the last hours, it became known that Horacio Rodriguez Larreta wants you in the Buenos aires city there is a “concurrent election” and single ballot in the district. This means that the people of Buenos Aires will elect the national positions on a ballot and, on the other hand, the head of the Buenos Aires government. This measure did not please Mauricio Macrileader of Together for Changewho changed his position regarding this implementation.
During the followingnoon, the founder of PRO stated that “it clearly represents more state spending, more lines, more time, two ballot boxes and ballots and there might even be the unusual situation of people who have to vote in different classrooms and schools. Obviously, it does not coincide with the decision of the pre-candidate for president, to whom he also left a harsh message.
«That politics think that by changing the electoral rules in an electoral year the porteños are going to choose in a certain way, is not to know them. The porteños are autonomous, they are free and they are independent. They choose who they want to vote for and who best represents them”, added Mauricio Macri, who maintained that “not changing the electoral rules in an electoral year is a value of JxC. Most of the PRO disagrees: to do so would be to go once morest what we have done.”

However, in 2015 and 2019, the former president was a great defender of this way of voting, to the point that he made a thread on Twitter to support it. “Today the prosecutors have to verify that the ballots have not been stolen or adulterated. Furthermore, counting the votes is a cumbersome and complicated process. We must move towards a single ticket, which is simpler and guarantees the same conditions for everyone“, He said.
«In the single ballot, citizens can see all the options under the same conditions. Simplifies counting and secures same opportunities for all lists. It can be on paper or electronically, it is best for Congress to decide,” wrote Mauricio Macri in a thread made in October 2019, when he was still president of the Nation.
