ROSARIO (special envoy).- More than 2.7 million people are summoned this Sunday to participate in the open, simultaneous and mandatory primary elections (PASO) in the province of Santa Fe, the third district in the country by number of voters. The succession of the Peronist Omar Perotti will be resolved between 13 gubernatorial candidatesin a context charged with uncertainty and tension due to the verbal escalation between the main contenders” class=”com-link” data-reactroot=””>top opposition contenders, Maximilian Pullaro y Carolina Losadawho monopolized the spotlight in the final stretch of a campaign marked” class=”com-link” data-reactroot=””>campaign marked by the problem of insecurity and the wave of violence from drug trafficking.
In addition to governor and vice -in this province the single ballot system is used to vote in the different categories-, provincial deputies, senators, mayors and municipal councilors will be elected. Everyone must reach a minimum harvest of 1.5% of the votes to score their ticket in the generals.
Strictly speaking, the people of Santa Fe will determine this Sunday Who will be the candidates for governor who will fight for Perotti’s succession in the general elections on September 10?, but these elections will have a national impact. It is that the result of the local PASO arouses, above all, a strong expectation in Together for Change due to the bloody internship carried out by Losada, the applicant who promotes Patricia Bullrichand Pullaro, which is sponsored by Horacio Rodriguez Larreta. The outcome of that opposition duel, which is expected to be very close, became relevant to the battle between Larreta and Bullrich for the JxC presidential candidacy.
The biggest dispute will take place in Rosario, the epicenter of the wave of drug violence in the country. It is the most populated district in the province and almost everything will be defined in that territory. In a climate of tension” class=”com-link” data-reactroot=””>climate of tension over security, the degree of citizen participation in the elections became an important aspect.
There will be strong competition in the two majority coalitions in this province: the pro-government alliance Let’s move forward together, which brings together the various aspects of the PJ; and United to Change Santa Fe, the opposition “front of fronts” that formed the Pro, the UCR and socialism to unseat Peronism. The Civic Coalition (CC), which leads Elisa Carrionwill have its own list headed by the employer Eduardo Maradona (Cambia Santa Fe), who will compete outside the main opposition front, following the former deputy denounced that her partners agreed with leaders linked to drug trafficking. One of the unknowns is whether the CC will manage to overcome the filter to score its list in the general election.

Although the campaign was polarized between Pullaro and Losada, in an internal one with a high level of confrontation – to the point that the senator accused the former Security Minister of Michael Lifschitz to cover up drug traffickers and anticipated that he will not accompany him following the PASO-, the socialist Monica Fein (Forward) will also compete in the primaries of the opposition “front of fronts.”
Among the Peronist candidates there will also be an internal contest. The senator Marcelo Lewandowski (I choose to do), who made a pact with Perotti -who is running for provincial deputy-, is a wide favorite in the official party’s compulsa. The journalist will face the Kirchnerista Marcos Cleri, who has the blessing of La Cámpora; Eduardo Toniolli, referent of the Evita Movement; and Leandro Busatto, local representative of the sector of Agustín Rossi.
Lewandowski yearns to become the candidate with the most votes to maintain the chance that the PJ continues in the government of Santa Fe, although in the ruling party they admit that they are running from behind once morest the opposition “front of fronts”, which is on its way to winning the primaries. In JxC they hope to obtain a wide advantage over Peronism that will leave them at the gates of power in the province.
In the governor category there are a total of 13 registered applicants. While Javier Miley (La Libertad Avanza) does not promote any candidate, on the left there will be an internal one between Carla Deiana y Ocatvio Crivaro.
Impact on PvP
Larreta and Bullrich will carefully watch what happens in the Santa Fe electoral test, above all, because of the national scope that the resolution of the uncertain fight between Pullaro and Losada will have. Both JxC presidential candidates are risking part of their position and intend to show a sign of strength when there is less than a month left for the PASO. In fact, they will travel to Rosario to accompany the local allies that they blessed and are excited to be on the consecration postcard.
Larreta and Pullaro, in Santa Fe
After participating in the closing of the campaign, Bullrich will return to this city to await the results of the provisional scrutiny in the Losada bunker, one of his partners in the UCR, who also added the support of Mauricio Macri, Maria Eugenia Vidal, Alfredo Cornejo and Ernesto Sanz, among other references. For his part, Larreta will disembark with a large entourage at the Hotel Ariston, where Pullaro, bishop of Martin Lousteau, will await the verdict of the polls. Lousteau and Gerardo Morales They also plan to travel to surround the former minister with Larreta. In Uspallata there is a strong expectation around Pullaro’s performance. They speculate that he might give a vital boost to the project of the Buenos Aires boss, who needs a boost in the center of the country, where Bullrich seems very competitive. Therefore, the result will be crucial for larretism. In bullrichism, on the other hand, they believe that a victory or defeat of Losada will not alter the national internal.

Beyond the high-voltage bid between Losada and Pullaro in the United to Change Santa Fe primary, the opposition block aspires to remain as the most voted force in this district, a scenario that will project the concrete possibility of unseating the PJ in a strategic province, following the historic triumphs that JxC obtained in San Luis and San Juan.
The problem of security and organized crime crossed the electoral debate throughout the campaign. In fact, the Perotti government will mount a major operation: it will deploy 6,000 police officers to guard the 1,452 establishments where the polls will be, with the aim of preventing shootings once morest schools on voting day and encouraging turnout. They fear that there are citizens who give up participating for fear of attacks. The opposition is concerned that a decrease in voters will affect them due to two other factors: the start of the winter holidays and electoral apathy.
Rosario, the most densely populated district in the province, will be the main setting for the inmates. There, Losada aspires to reap a wealth of votes that will allow him to reduce Pullaro’s advantage on the global scoreboard. In the final spint he also appealed to seduce the undecided universe. With the support of the radical scaffolding and a greater territorial deployment than his rival for the support of mayors, the former minister stomps on the interior of the province. His primary goal is to even out the bid in Rosario, where Losada has the highest number of supporters, to consolidate the chances of victory. The two UCR candidates have Pro exponents in their formulas. Losada goes with the macrista Federico Angelini and Pullaro, with the larretista Gisela Scaglia.
The mayor of Rosario, Paul JavkinLosada’s ally, needs to overcome an internal one in which he will face five challengers -Pullaro put his chips on the journalist Miguel Tessandori– to fortify his chances of accessing a second term. In the PJ there is also strong competition for the mayoral candidacy between Juan Monteverde (Fearless Rosary) and Robert Suckerman (Come on Rosary).
Beyond the result of the internal one on Sunday, the main challenge for the opposition will be to heal the wounds left in space by the campaign in Santa Fe.
