It will be his last opening speech of the ordinary sessions of the Deliberative Council of the city of Córdoba. In his message, Mayor Martín Llaryora will respect the institutionality of providing a balance and marking what he will do in the last months of his administration, but the act will take place in an unavoidable electoral context, of a campaign that for the provincial and municipal ruling party already ripped off
The place chosen for the act is quite a political sign: it will be at the Colón Operations Center (4800 Colón Avenue), the 10th of its kind that inaugurated the llaryorista management, as a brand of decentralization promoted by the mayor.
As he has said on several occasions, the Peronist mayor assures that he followed the legacy of the radical mayor Rubén Martí, the initiator of municipal decentralization, with the construction of the CPCs.
Llaryora will review his management last year, but will emphasize the enumeration of the works in the Capital that will be concentrated, between now and mid-May, in the strongest stretch of the provincial electoral campaign and in the Capital.
The list of ribbon cuttings will be extensive. It includes the remodeling of 17 plazas, 500 paving blocks; 15,000 lights, the completion of Chacabuco Boulevard and perhaps the most emblematic: the completion of the work on Plaza España, the remodeling of Parque Las Heras and the inauguration of Teatro Comedia.
Beyond being the last message to the city’s deliberative body, the greatest expectations will be placed on the gestures and political winks that Llaryora can make in a context in which in recent days he confirmed that Vice Mayor Daniel Passerini will be the official candidate for happen it.
In this sense, the word “continuity” will appear in several paragraphs of the speech. Llaryora is the main promoter of his vice nomination, but he is also thinking regarding his own campaign: the mayor considers that the high image of his management in the Capital is his main letter of introduction, in his ambition to become the successor to the governor John Schiaretti.
political move
Although there is no date for the elections, Llaryora’s definition that Passerini “is our candidate” was the starting flag of the campaign for PJ Capital.
However, there are still two pre-candidates on the field, the Secretary of Government, Miguel Siciliano; and the head of the Córdoba Sports Agency, Héctor “Pichi” Campana. The Secretary of Transportation, Marcelo Rodio, will “get off” this Thursday in an act that will have Passerini as the protagonist, as it was in the previous ones organized by other former candidates: the legislator Juan Manuel Cid, the councilor Diego Casado and the Secretary of Participation Citizen, Juan Domingo Viola.
Llaryora chose his vice to be the candidate to succeed him. He was also the one who decided the surprise of making it official in an interview he conducted last weekend, in the town of Totoral.
The announcement surprised in the Civic Center. Although the schiarettistas admit that the mayor is the one who manages “the times” and “the pen” in the Capital.
For Llaryora, the city is her strongest territory for her provincial aspiration. He managed to reverse what was a weak point for the Cordovan PJ.
Behind the confirmation of Passerini’s candidacy, which the ruling party expected within two weeks, there is a political reason: Llaryora wants to strengthen his candidate, when in two weeks, together with the governed, they decide the dates of the elections in the province and also in the capital.
It is not a novelty that there are different visions between both leaders: Llaryora is in favor of both elections being held on the same Sunday. While Schiaretti believes that what is best for the PJ is that they go “detached”. First the election of governor, and a month later, that of the mayor of the capital.
That crucial decision will be made in the coming days if, as is speculated, the provincial elections will be held on June 25. If the change is passed by July 2, the decision will be postponed for one more week.
The governor must make official the date of his successor’s elections 90 days in advance. Although due to the strategy that the municipalities administered by the PJ stick to the local elections with the provincial ones, they must give the mayors regarding 10 days to comply with the legal requirements for calling the polls in the interior.
