The candidate will be chosen by the 22nd of June. But we must lower the anxiety, a month is missing, which in Argentina is a century (sic). With these words is that the governor reelected of Córdoba, Juan Schiaretti, seeks to diminish the expectations of the meeting that today will maintain the references of Federal alternative. After the meeting with President Macri, the Representative Cordoba avoided giving details about today’s event. It is partly because of this that no announcements of candidacies are expected but a sort of ratification as “Third Way” after the announcement of the candidacies Fernandez-Kirchner, as well as Roberto Lavagna.

This discussion on the STEPS is given at a time when the view of the main leaders of Federal alternative is put in Massa, for his eventual approach to the “Patriotic Front” that build the PJ and kirchenerismo.
While the former intendant of Tigre plans to ratify his presidential nomination tomorrow, he could also ask for a recount of the governors who continue to support the Federal alternative, since the presidential candidacy of Alberto Fernandez seems Have changed affiliations.

So soon then a novelty, the presence of Lavagna, Already as a presidential candidate, in alternative Federal questions? Several, the future of Massa, the support of the provincial governors, the consequences of the UCR Convention and the candidates for the Buenos Aires Governorate, among others. In this note:
