On June 28, a national congress of the Frente Renovador will be held in the province of San Juan, organized by the general secretary of the party, Franco Aranda. The provincial deputy and former mayor of the capital, Sergio Massa’s representative in San Juan, spoke with Zonda Diario regarding the details of this congress, the figures of political weight who could come to the province, and the relationship with other San Juan representatives.

The president of the Frente Renovador, the national deputy will also be present. Diego Giuliano, who was Minister of Transportation of the Nation during the administration of Alberto Fernández“Aranda explained in dialogue with Zonda Diary.
When asked about the possibility that Sergio Massa attend the province, Aranda stressed that they will extend the invitation, although he acknowledged that “I find it very difficult because for now he is not making political appearances”. He also mentioned that he will invite José Ignacio de Mendigurenwho held the Ministry of Production during the administration of Alberto Fernández.
“We are going to talk about provincial policy issues and I know that there are references who can raise departmental policy issues, in addition to those of the Renewal Front from other provinces. Of course, we will also discuss national politics, the current state of Argentina and analyze superior proposals for the Frente Renovador from the Congresseither“added Aranda.
2025 elections
Regarding next year’s midterm elections, Aranda commented that the formation of lists has not yet been discussed, but he stressed that “a provincial party attached to a national party always has the possibility of proposing our candidates on the lists, we consider all possibilities.”
Opinion on the PJ: is there a renewal?
“From what I have been reading in the media, apparently there is an agreement between José Luis Gioja and Sergio Uñac where one will be president and the other vice president. I think that is good for a possible renewal, but I also know, from many militants of the Peronism, that if the leaders who are elected are managed by the previous authorities, this will continue to generate some noise within the Peronist militancy. The fact of having lost the province and gone through successive internal affairs makes things not turn out completely well. that they can achieve unity and that the PJ can reorganize itself again.”said Aranda.
Dialogue with other Peronist leaders
“We maintain dialogue with everyone, it seems to me that that is what politics is about. Emilio Baistrocchi was always a political adversary of mine, but we have met in some places and we have dialogued. I have also spoken with Fabián Gramajo, Cristian Andino, Romina Rosas in Caucete, Matías Espejo in Jáchal, to mention some PJ leaders who are very important. I think that these and many other mayors and deputies of the PJ must be taken into account because of the value that each of them has.“said Aranda.
Differences with Uñac and Baistrocchi, a matter of time
“The crossings were at different times because I had the courage, or rather the intellectual honesty, to say what I thought when he was governor. For example, I was always against the motto law and re-election, I told him and He fired me for having told him, and even the Supreme Court ended up agreeing with me. Baistrocchi said the same thing, but when Uñac was no longer governor, he didn’t say it at the time when things were happening. As a political leader, one must know how to express it. things despite the consequences,” concluded Aranda.
