The Rio Negro PRO sector led by Aníbal Tortoriello does not focus only on the internal elections on May 19. He is also thinking about an alliance with La Libertad Avanza in the province for next year’s legislative elections and places the current deputy there as a candidate for senator.
But the projections don’t stop there. “The ideal would be for him to be a senator, to go for the governorship in 2027”said yesterday legislator Patricia Mc Kidd, candidate to preside over the party.
The Cipoleña leader, who left the bloc and occupies the space of La Libertad Avanza, not yet formally recognized as a new bench, will face her Roquense colleague Juan Martin at the polls in 12 days.
“We sought consensus, but it could not be achieved,” explained yesterday the head of the Yellow and Violet List, called “November 22, 2015.”
Anyway, He did not rule out that in the final stretch towards the polls some type of agreement could be reached to avoid conflict.
“We know that it is not convenient to have an internal party with 3,700 members, and that not all of them are going to vote. “We are open to dialogue, but so far there is no other way to resolve this,” he stated.
The Rio Negro leadership of the PRO awaited yesterday the arrival of Clodomiro Risau, appointed by the national leadership of the party as overseer of the internal process.
Mc Kidd differentiated himself from legislator Martin and his entourage by highlighting that they have “different ways of seeing politics.”
“We have a simpler way, we are people who have always been in private activity, We are not in the State. We know what it is to pay salaries, have employees, work in a dependency relationship,” was the indirect criticism he launched.
In that sense, she announced that if she is the future president of the PRO in Río Negro, she will promote a reform of the Organic Charter and work that allows “to reach more people, work more in the territory, which is what was missing in the last time”.
The alliance with La Libertad advances by 2025
Now, what he said there will surely be agreement with the president of the PRO bloc in the Legislature is the electoral strategy for 2025.
“I don’t think there is any other idea other than an alliance (with La Libertad Avanza), no matter how much Juan’s list wins”he stated.
And that was when he advanced his vision in favor of a candidacy for senator from Tortoriello. “The ideal would be for him to be a senator, to go for the governorship in 2027,” he claimed.
What Mc Kidd also highlighted was that the current president of the PRO in Río Negro “stayed away” and “does not participate” in the electoral process, highlighting that this “It was the first agreement,” excluding himself and Martin himself from the internal candidates, something that ultimately did not happen.
“Maybe Aníbal is far from the PRO, we don’t know what direction he’s going to take,” concluded the legislator, who was in Roca over the weekend, with affiliates and members of her list.
