On December 15, National Sen Martin Lustow He will leave the presidency Radical Civic Union (UCR) And the party Its powers are renewed. The call to the National Committee was set for December 12. However, less than a month after the change at the top, the race for succession has one definition: the next leadership must come from someone. Unit list To settle internal disputes It allows defining a common path to space. It is a challenge that most of its leaders evade: they prefer it Pay boy care Instead of bearing the costs of leading the party towards decline.
In the various aspects of UCR they realize this Negotiations to reach consensus are still ongoing. With the official call for the National Committee on Friday, the discussion will only begin to energize this week. “We are in an internal process of unityExtremist sources indicated that we will have to choose who will represent us Nation.
It’s a race against time, but also against it The reserve that its main references seem to maintain To assume leadership in the face of successive electoral defeats and worsening internal disputes.
The liberal victory in the recent national elections made the Council more complex for extremism, which has not yet been able to calibrate its parts and is torn between its parts. Rebuild an opposing front or approach Casa Rosada. The latter is the path that was ratified by representatives Mariano Campero, Luis Picat and Federico Tornier last Wednesday, when they moved to the official club La Libertad Avanza. It’s the dismemberment they had already anticipated – lawmakers had already formed the Interior League, an independent bloc in the House of Representatives and in the DRC, and an attempt had been made to advance, unsuccessfully, their expulsion from space – but it did not fail to unveil the – The party’s difficulties in organizing itself.
These are the obstacles that A. faces List of units that have not yet had a clear leader. They assert in the party that the governor of Corrientes, Gustavo ValdezHe is the right person to bear this responsibility. The president is one of the founders United Provincesthe Federal Front that sought to position itself as an alternative to Javier Maili’s party, but, at the same time, it maintained… Good relationship with leaders associated with Casa Rosada, Like a wife from Chaco, Leandro Zedro. Although the alliance did not ultimately materialize, the extremist is also remembered for trying to bridge positions with the president regarding the electoral competition. Which Contradiction can be key To support the rebuilding of the Centenary Party.
The man from Corrientes is today an alternative delegate to the National Committee of his district, but in the UCR they do not rule out that one of the incumbents of the position will resign and give him his place so that he can take over as party president. Entrenched radicals realize that this is a common strategy in space. “If Valdes wants to be party president, he will be,” a source from Space told this medium.
But those around the president warn against this ruler He has no intention of taking that responsibility Amid internal turmoil. The role isn’t of particular interest to the Santa Fe native either. Maximiliano Pollaro. Near Gugenio Carlos Sader They’re moving privately, but that’s unlikely to happen Gerardo MoralesHe is a historical radical leader close to the current governor who is returning to the forefront. In the United Provinces, however, they assert that they will have their own candidate.
“It is very difficult to be Chairman of the National Committee now. We have to see who dares to show his face and head and receive slaps from all sides.“In addition to fighting with the government when it is necessary to fight,” they expressed this about one of the district leaders. Party leadership is an uncomfortable situation for the rulersWho continue the dialogue with the National Administration to resume infrastructure work and solve the deficit in their pension funds. Although any of them can be erased, they prefer it Take care of the small batch and strengthen your power in the areaEspecially given the possibility of his re-election in 2027.
This is another obstacle that the new leadership must overcome. “Extremism today is very much like a union of regional parties“, emphasized a historical leader of the province of Buenos Aires. The scenario in each region has its own peculiarities. Thus, for example, while the ruling Corrientes party was able to impose itself in its province without the support of the liberals, in Chaco, the costs of dividing the anti-Peronist offer are higher. “Besides his good relationship with Valdés, and assuming the proposal of opposition to the PLA, What will Zdero do, and who does Miley need to prevent (Jorge) Capitanic from returning to the governorship?”He continued.
Therefore, the risk of not achieving a common strategy that balances the needs of each governorate and achieving low compliance with the national direction is presented as a risk A very expensive opportunity For the majority of extremist leaders, who They are afraid to suffer from strong general abrasion. Nor do they want to make the same mistake that some crucial sectors of the current leadership attribute to Lousteau: turning away from the rules that primarily sought to accompany the change proposed by Miley.
the And the indifference of its leaders towards the national leadership It pressured the party to extend the current terms until the end of the summer and thus gain more time to reach this consensus, which they consider vital. As much as he could know NationThe possibility of that Inés Brizuela and DoriaHe will succeed Lousteau, the current vice president of the Centenary Party, but sources close to the party leadership ruled out that this rise is out of control. Others were betting on a return Mario Negri To the center of party life, but the former representative is not a delegate and is therefore not eligible.
Some sectors also view the moves of the national senator with suspicion Maximiliano Abad, He met last week with mayors, council members, Buenos Aires, national deputies and extremist activists. “I do not want extremism to drift away waiting for someone to throw it a lifeline. “I want extremism that builds its own ship, leads its own crew, and enjoys independence from other political forces,” he said at an extremism meeting in Greater Buenos Aires.
His message was interpreted as an expression of his intention to join the leadership race, in which he also mentioned Governor Mendoza. Alfredo Cornejo. However, as far as he could tell Nation, The legislator has his sights set on the provinceHe is betting on appointing one of his bishops to head the party in the local elections scheduled for next September.
Thus, in light of the leaks and the lack of determination of how to move on the political scene in the face of liberal progress, the future of the radical leadership remains unknown. Something precise: Consensus must be reached before December 12. The question is whether it will be temporary or an agreement that will take hold to rebuild the space.
