He governor of Entre Ros, Rogelio Frigerioformally presented the political and electoral reform project for the province, which include the single ballot; and at that point, I proposed opening the dialogue with the different sectors for its realization. “This is a debate that has to involve all of us,” she said.
Frigerio clarified that it is not a “canning of proposals”, but rather -as he said- “of a guide to start discussing with some alacrity because this is a non-election year and, in general, it is agreed that non-electoral years are the most productive years to undertake a political reform like the one we propose.”
“It is a reform that has to go beyond changing the system in which voting is done in the province,” said the governor, and also highlighted the need to “discuss the strengthening of political parties, which has been a pending issue for many yearsand also what are we going to do with the definition of the candidacies within each political space, If we are going to continue with the STEP or if we are going to go to another scheme“.
The president made the presentation at the Provincial Convention Center (CPC) of Paraná, before the provincial legislators, representatives of the 20 political forces of the province, members of the federal and provincial Electoral Justice; and university rectors, who were summoned for the presentation.
“In the 21st century we are all forced to rethink these things and move forward in a different direction. This has to be a State reform that goes far beyond political parties, of the political-partisan situation of the province,” he insisted.
The governor took advantage of the occasion to encourage achievements that bring Entre Ríos closer to the innovations made by its sisters in the Central Region. “We are the only province in the region that has not made significant modifications in electoral matters. and today we begin to pay off that debt,” he encouraged.
In saying goodbye, he suggested reaching consensus to present the reform to the Legislature before the end of the year “and start 2025 with these modifications embodied in a law.”
For his part, the Minister of Government and Labor, Manuel Troncosohighlighted the importance of the event “because what was for the current governor a transcendental campaign axis is beginning to materialize, build in a democratic and joint manner a political reform of the party law and the electoral code“.
