Larreta on the STEP
For months, the ruling party tried to leave the primary elections in the past, taking into account that in the future election, the political force of the PRO (Republican Proposal) requires this electoral tool to define its strongest candidate to run for president.
In this context, the head of government of the CABA, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta said that it is essential that all the candidates go to the PASO “I think that the best thing is to choose the people in the PASO; It is the current, legal mechanism and it is the healthiest”.
