After several twists and turns and endless accusations, finally the Provincial Council of the PJ of Land of Fire called internal elections for next September 22. However, everything seems to indicate that only one list will be presented and the mayor of Ushuaia, the camper Walter Vuotowill be proclaimed president of the party again.
The previous weeks anticipated a hot contest, because the mayor of Río Grande, Martin Perezpressed for Vuoto will enable the internal ones in it peronism. However, as far as he could tell Letter pthe former camporista will not present his own list in the elections and will pave the way for his counterpart from the provincial capital to retain the seal.
The inside of Peronism
In Pérez’s circle they argue that “their focus is on addressing the urgent demands and needs of the people of Rio Grande do Sul.” In the municipality they emphasize “especially issues such as unpayable gas rates and the increase in unemployment.”
In this sense, they considered it more important to “be on the side of the workers and merchants than to get involved in internal party disputes,” while rejecting the “party thread” and criticizing “the internal fights and the focus on positions and lists within the party.” of the party.”
As this media reported, in the Vuoto camp they rejected that Pérez finally presented a list, but they were clear about the terms of the budding bid. “Whoever wins the PJ internal race will be the candidate for governor. Pérez has no chance of winning the internal election. If he wants to compete in 2027, He’s going to have to do it with another party“, a Vootista official had told Letter p.
Pérez’s move to the side within the Justicialista Party seems to give some reason to those sayings. The man from Rio Grande do Sul is far from ending the bid between both mayors with his sights set on the governor’s seat in 2027. In his sector they are already moving their chips and do not hide a possible confluence with the sector he heads Liliana “Chispita” Fadul. The historical leader of Fuegian Peronism is today the main reference of We are Fuegiana space opposed to Melella that has three seats in the provincial Legislature.
Pérez has already marked the field and stated that he is always “willing to work with Peronists who share his vision of management and values, as well as with people from other party structures who have common interests.”
The next party, in this scenario, could be an eventual alliance with Somos Fueguinos, which has the legislator in Rio Grande Raúl Von Der Thusen as the main reference. The businessman supported Pérez in his candidacy for reelection in 2023 and would also provide his approval for a candidacy for governor in 2027.
If finalized, the alliance could alter the atomized political map of the island. Pérez rules in Río Grande, the most populated city in the southernmost province of the Patagonia. On the other hand, in the last municipal elections in Ushuaia, Fadul obtained the second placejust three thousand votes below Vuoto.
Walter Vuoto, firm in the PJ
On the side of the mayor of Ushuaia, meanwhile, the legislator took a position Juan Carlos Pino, who had shown himself a few weeks ago with Pérez. “Efforts are measured by results. Taking this into account, we are going to accompany the current president of the Justicialista Party in his re-election,” Pino corrected for those who had doubts, after the meeting of the Provincial Council of the Fuegian PJ.
In addition to ensuring the management of the party, Vuoto has a territorial deployment that allows it to support its projection. He has five of the ten seats on the Deliberative Council of Ushuaia and his sister Victoria Vuoto He has a seat in the provincial Legislature.
In that body of 15 members, it also counts as allies: Tomas Garciaa reference of the gastronomic guild that is part of the PJ block, already Myriam Martinezvice president of the provincial PJ, but a member of the bloc FORGINGthe space led by Governor Melella.
