The Justicialista Party (PJ) of the city of Buenos Aires expressed its support for the candidacy of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for the presidency of the party at the national level. From the Buenos Aires PJ they highlighted that the former president must lead “the unity that the time demands of us to build the alternative to the libertarian model”, and they joined other pronouncements such as that of Buenos Aires Peronism, Santa Fe and Catamarca.
“In times of setbacks and loss of rights, it is necessary for comrade Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to preside over the Justicialista Party,” the Buenos Aires party expressed in a statement. “Our people need a Peronism that recovers the debate that allows ideas, action and discourse to be aligned, in order to restore hope to Argentines,” they maintain. “We firmly believe that Cristina has the track record, legitimacy and attributes necessary to achieve this,” he added.
Last weekend, the former president had received the support of the Buenos Aires PJ, after the meeting that its president, Máximo Kirchner, held with dozens of mayors in the town of Monte Hermoso. ”The political, cultural, social and historical value of CFK for Argentina and Peronism is undeniable,” the former mayor of San Antonio de Areco, Francisco “Paco” Durañona, had written after the meeting.
Support from the provincial PJ also came from Santa Fe. “We are going to provide all the necessary guarantees for Cristina Kirchner to lead our movement and generate all the necessary transformations for the happiness of our people,” said its general secretary, Daniel Ríos. Alejandra Rodenas and María Luz Rioja were other important leaders of Santa Fe Peronism who came out to demonstrate in favor of the former president’s candidacy to lead the party at the national level.
Meanwhile, the governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, maintains his candidacy and is determined to face Cristina Kirchner in an internal party race. “Peronism has not had internal processes for a long time, two provinces, Corrientes and Jujuy, have been intervened for many years, and it cannot be normalized. And those who intervene are always in the Capital,” said an interview on the radio this Monday. Futurock.
