La Libertad Avanza is already beginning to take shape for the mid-term elections with a view to reinforcing the government’s parliamentary presence. Karina Milei is focused on this task, as she shouldered the electoral set-up in all the districts of the country to register La Libertad Avanza as a party and dispense with the borrowed structures that she used in recent years.
The most colorful event was the one organized in the City of Buenos Aires to recruit militants, but procedures have also already begun in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Río Negro, among other provinces.
The representatives of these districts are: Sebastián Pareja in PBA, Gabriel Bornoroni in Córdoba and Lorena Villaverde in Río Negro. The most immediate question that arises is who will be the strong candidate for this election.
Next year, senators will be elected for the City of Buenos Aires and deputies for the province of Buenos Aires and it is already speculated that Karina Milei could be the main candidate, to be able to carry the Milei surname on the ballot. Although this is not defined, especially because the Milei have been characterized by doing the opposite of what traditional political manuals say.
The problem that arises with Karina is that, like Posse, the president’s sister is not very fond of giving interviews and does not have experience speaking in public and they fear that the all-powerful image that was created about her will be lost as she you start listening to it.
Today Karina Milei is domiciled in CABA, but resides in Vicente López, so it is not yet defined where she will go as a candidate. If she goes for CABA, her place would be at the head of the list of senators, where Patricia Bullrich also wants to go. This topic must be defined very carefully.
On the other hand, a character with a high level of knowledge in the Government is the presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni, who appears on television every morning with his usual press conference. Adorni was also polled to be placed at the top of the list of national deputies for the Province of Buenos Aires. Those who are in the details of this assembly are Martín and “Lule” Menem.
“Lule” even took charge of resolving the judicial operation. Today he is in charge of speaking with all the electoral judges in the country and even shares with Karina Milei the dialogue with the Supreme Court judge Ricardo Lorenzetti himself, who is worried because Ariel Lijo’s candidacy to the Court would not be coming to fruition. port, especially because the endorsements of Cristina Kirchner and Mauricio Macri would be missing, who have not yet expressed themselves on the issue, but who in private conversations exasperated their discontent with the nomination of the Comodoro Py magistrate.
The question they ask is “why would we do Lorenzetti the favor of balancing his weight in the Court against Horacio Rosatti?” It happens that in the case of Cristina Kirchner, she remembers Lorenzetti as the godfather of the waiter Martín Irurzun and Claudio Bonadio in the judicial persecution of which she and all of Kirchnerism claim to have been a victim. In that same group she places Julián Ercolini and also Lijo himself, who ordered the arrest of his vice president Amado Boudou.
Cristina Kirchner prefers a candidate with the profile of Alejandro Slokar or a jurist more related to Kirchnerist thought, than a judge with Lijo’s career. Those familiar with this issue risk that the conversation could lead to a possible expansion of the Court and in that scenario, Kirchnerism could consider voting for Lijo, because in that way it could propose its own candidate for the highest court.
The current composition of the Court is not liked by any political space and Maqueda’s retirement became an urgent problem because if there were only three judges left, the Court would enter a state of paralysis, in which only agreements could be reached in which The vote is unanimously 3 votes, because in the highest court it is not possible to rule 2 to 1, because the universe of 5 judges is considered, so the only possible majority is 3 votes. And in this context it will be very difficult for Rosatti and Carlos Rosenkrantz to agree with Lorenzetti.
