The internal conflict in the Justicialist Party (PJ) of the City of Buenos Aires has reached a fever pitch due to the push for Cristina Kirchner chair the party at the national level. Days ago, the Buenos Aires force issued a statement in support of the former president, which generated a series of reactions and controversies within the party.
However, in the last few hours, a sector of the PJ assures that at no time was a nod in this regard approved, which has intensified internal tensions. The statement of support for Cristina Kirchner It was spread by the capital leadership of the PJ, led by Senator Mariano Recalde.
In the message, the need to build “a strong and united leadership” was expressed and the candidacy of the former president to head the leadership of the Justicialista Party was supported.. However, this decision was not well received by all members of the party, and some leaders questioned the lack of consensus and prior consultation.
Juan Manuel Abal Medina, vice president of the City PJ, was one of the main critics of the statement. Abal Medina expressed his discontent with the way the decision was made and noted that “leading is not commanding, it is persuading.”
His statements reflect the discomfort of a sector of the party that considers that the candidacy of Cristina Kirchner was not adequately discussed or approved. The situation is even more complicated with the proximity of the closing of lists for the internal elections of the PJ, scheduled for November 17.
The lack of consensus and internal divisions jeopardize the possibility of presenting a unity list, which could weaken the party’s position at a crucial moment. The support for Cristina Kirchner It is not limited to the City of Buenos Aires.
Support from provinces
The former president has received support from several provinces, including Tierra del Fuego, Santa Cruz, Chubut, Río Negro, Santiago del Estero, Chaco, Catamarca, San Juan and the province of Buenos Aires. This provincial support reinforces his candidacy and shows the influence he still has within Peronism.
However, the candidacy of Cristina Kirchner also faces challenges. Ricardo Quintela, governor of La Rioja, has announced his intention to run for the presidency of the national PJ. Quintela, who represents federal Peronism, has made it clear that his candidacy is “a path of no return” and that he will seek to represent the provinces and the sectors furthest from central power.
