As part of the signing of the Fiscal Consensus that Alberto Fernández signed with the provincial governors, they requested the suspension of the next Simultaneous and Compulsory Open Primary (PASO) elections. As they agree, the 2021 primaries must be canceled to save resources amid the coronavirus crisis and pandemic.
The governors’ intention to suspend the PASS had become public in the last month, after SanJuanino Sergio Uñac made it public on his social media.” Through dialogue and joint work with the political sectors, let us generate the consensus necessary to present a Bill aimed at the suspension of THE PASO by 2021,” Uñac said on November 2.
Taking into account the 2021 Legislative Elections, and respecting the constitutional mandates and the replacement of the authorities elected by popular vote, I consider it appropriate to assess the suspension of the STEPS established by Law No. 26.571. — Sergio Uñac (@sergiounac)
