With the incorporation of Juan Schiaretti to Juntos por el Cambio postponed, at least until the closing of alliances on June 14, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and his radical partners Gerardo Morales and Martín Lousteau began to calm the waters in their own parties and seek to show unity in the opposition coalition. As Infobae learned, they are working against the clock to get a photo with all the leaders who want to represent the moderate wing. In parallel, the governor from Jujuy made peace with the radicals from Cordoba and is negotiating a document that would be approved without incident at the UCR National Convention.
Elections 2023 in Mendoza: what happens if I don’t vote in the PASO
The province has primaries on Sunday June 11 to define the candidates who will reach the general elections
Mendoza will have PASO on June 11 and general elections on September 24
The 2023 elections in Mendoza will have an important chapter this Sunday, June 11, when the Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries (PASO) take place. The province must go to the polls to choose among the pre-candidates for governor, vice, 19 senators, 24 provincial deputies and authorities of the municipalities that have not voted on April 30.
Diego Giuliano, Minister of Transportation of the Nation
At the time of the National Congress of the Renewing Front, starting at 4:00 p.m. at the Arena de Tortuguitas stadium -Malvinas Argentinas-, this morning the Minister of Transportation of the Nation, Diego Giuliano, spoke on Miter radio about the rumors of the resignation of the Minister of Economy Sergio Massa in case of reaching a Primary in the Frente de Todos.
“Massa, if there is a STEP, will he leave the Government?” asked the journalist Marcelo Bonelli. “It is not a problem of Massa, of proper names, we are proposing a method. We do not demand a candidacy but a strategy on this issue: unity, as happened in 2019, as when Peronism always had to go to elections, ”he said.
After clarifying on the air that the Renewal Front has been part of the Frente de Todos since its founding, he responded about Massa’s “fed up” and his hypothetical stepping over to the side of the Government, to which the president of the Chamber of Deputies referred yesterday, Cecilia Moreau (later denied by the minister himself). “We cannot concentrate on an internal one when we have to manage the government and fundamentally the economy,” she emphasized.
After this sentence, he expressed the need for a “political order to later have an economic order” and that this guarantees “certainties.” “Uncertainty is in other political spaces, we, to hold the course, we need certainty,” he declared.
The need for a “will to triumph” of the ruling party to make possible “a country project that we are supporting” was another of the claims of the Minister of Transportation who stressed that the Renovation Front is not “a spectator of a Government, but responsible for the governance of the Front of All”.
Therefore, he maintained that the unity strategy is key and that generating a STEP would only entail “more difficulties”. How would a Primaries be justified in the pro-government interblock? “It should reflect dissident models” and I clarify that what is being experienced today is “an inter-ministerial internship with two ambassadors: and that is not the most advisable thing to do because it impacts governance.”
“Does Massa want to be a candidate?”, he was asked. And Giuliano took off saying that “we are going to hear this from Massa himself”, in reference to the speech that the minister will give this afternoon in front of the members of his party.
And he also replied that today, from the bowels of the FR, Massa will be asked to run. “We are going to ask him to be a candidate for president,” Giuliano said to recall the minister’s daily obligations. “He is working all day to achieve tax relief, debt swap, be competitive, work based on a consensus with the field, commercial areas and industry. Our responsibility is now, ”he emphasized.
Gerardo Morales: “The first challenge is to stop ruling the Frente de todos, in that fight we have to leave everything”
“Do not be fooled, the way is to recover the culture of effort, work, improvement, because that is what has made the Argentine Republic great,” insisted the leader of the UCR
The candidate traveled to Buenos Aires to lead a campaign event
On Friday, June 9, the governor of Jujuy and president of the UCR, Gerardo Morales, led a massive act together with the mayor of San Isidro, Gustavo Posse, the entire leadership and militancy of the province of Buenos Aires at Club Glorias de Tigre. During his speech, the leader stated: “The challenge for Argentines is to stop ruling the Frente de todos, that is the fight in which we have to leave everything.”
San Luis awaits with expectation if the Rodríguez Saá can be removed from power
Just over 419 thousand voters will participate in the provincial elections. Peronism can lose a stronghold that it has dominated since 1983

(Special envoy to San Luis) Tension and expectations are growing on one side and the other as extreme polarization and an election with an uncertain ending are predicted. Unlike other provinces that have already voted this year, the predominance of Peronism this time is not assured. On the contrary, previous polls allow the opposition to delude themselves with unseating the Rodríguez Saá family from the power it has held almost without interruption since the return of democracy to Argentina in 1983.
Alfredo Cornejo puts his provincial leadership and his national projection at stake in the PASO de Mendoza
In this Sunday’s elections, the polls favor the UCR senator, who would be on his way to return to power after having been governor between 2015 and 2019. The PJ arrives divided. Omar De Marchi, an enigma
Alfredo Cornejo will seek another term as Governor of Mendoza
It will not be just any election: this Sunday the PASO will be held in the province that has governed Together for Change since 2015 and which represents a political stronghold for radicalism. After his four-year term, which Rodolfo Suárez later followed from 2019 to today, Alfredo Cornejo will put his local leadership at stake at the polls and, in addition, his national projection if he manages to win now and ratifies his victory in the provincial elections of 24 September, something that will install him again among the leaders who will rebuild political power in Argentina.
The inmate of the ruling party escalates with extreme warnings and the economy included in the same game
The speculations around Massa mark another peak of tension. Also, the versions that were circulated about the setting up of a front between CFK and massismo, without the President. The governors add pressure. Signal to isolate Scioli and march with a single candidate
Daniel Scioli with Victoria Tolosa Paz, in a campaign key. Pressure is mounting for him to give up the fight
The dense week that is about to end: it started with the opposition fighting on the edge of the abyss and closes with the ruling party playing its fight for the candidacies to the limit on a board that includes, as a central piece, the economy. Precisely this data emerged expressly in the escalation of pressure and extreme warnings to resolve the path to the polls. In words, Agustín Rossi went further than others by warning, with an ironic claim, that denying the PASO would consecrate Peronism as the “last Stalinist party” on the planet. And as signs of risk, the idea of rearming the pro-government front appeared – without Daniel Scioli and far from Olivos – and even the possibility of Sergio Massa’s resignation, later formally deactivated.
The crisis in JxC and the launch of Scioli add uncertainty to the electoral assembly of the Buenos Aires Front of All
Pending a definition at the national level, the negotiations in the city of Buenos Aires are still frozen two weeks before the deadline for the presentation of lists

Despite the fact that there are four days left for the definition of the electoral alliances and only fifteen for the presentation of the lists, the electoral negotiations of the Buenos Aires Front of All continue frozen for weeks pending a definition at the national level. At the same time, the recent internal sparks in Together for Change added more reasons to remain cautious: “If the coalition breaks up, it could change the landscape, it makes sense that we wait and see what happens,” analyzed a legislator who aims to renew his bench after the crossfire that triggered the proposal to add Governor Juan Schiaretti.
The agreement between Together for Change and Juan Schiaretti seems inevitable and it is only discussed when it will materialize
Given the resistance of the “hawks” of the PRO, variants are analyzed to add the governor of Córdoba even before the STEP. What options are evaluated by operators in both sectors. The strong commitment of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta

Before or after the STEP? The alliance between Together for Change and Juan Schiaretti seems inevitable and it is only discussed when it will materialize. Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich’s rejection of the agreement with the governor of Córdoba slowed down the momentum of the negotiations, but only to change their format: in the face of resistance from the PRO “hawks”, dissident Peronism will not join the JxC space for the Primaries, but variants are being analyzed to include the provincial leader as a candidate on a list or as Horacio Rodríguez Larreta’s running mate.
A few days after the closing of alliances, Sergio Massa will appear as a candidate and will again request a list of units
The Minister of Economy will lead today the Congress of the Renovation Front in the municipality of Malvinas Argentinas. The meeting, with about 12,000 leaders, will take place in the midst of growing tension over the definition of the mechanism to define the presidential candidate
Sergio Massa will lead the party congress of the Renovation Front
In a political context convulsed by electoral definitions and with a large part of Peronism pressing for the Frente de Todos to resolve a unity presidential candidacy, Sergio Massa will lead the Frente Renovador party congress in which he is expected to provide a handful of definitions with strong political impact.
