translated from Spanish: Economist Martín Tetaz joins Juntos por el Cambio: he will accompany Vidal in the City

The economist Martín Tetaz accepted the offer of the radical wing of the Buenos Aires ruling party and will join the list headed by María Eugenia Vidal, first candidate for deputy for the City of Buenos Aires.Amid the emotion over his farewell to Lanata without filter, where he worked as a columnist, the member of Radio Mitre and La Nación+ , revealed how the call went.” About a month ago, Martín Louestau called me, enthusiastic about what the resurgence of radicalism meant, the launch of (Facundo) Manes in the Province of Buenos Aires, a lot of people excited about the concrete possibility that the party (UCR) will lead what is the space of Together for Change and, eventually, , get to give it oxygen and give a concrete alternative in this context,” he said. For Tetez, Argentina “is playing the future.” “The elections are going to be played out if Argentina respects the institutions, private property, if Argentina wants to build a real rift, which is the only one that exists in Argentina, where, on the one hand, there are people who work, who pro-educate, who invest and who study. That’s the half of Argentina that needs to stand up.” That is the enormous challenge that I was invited not to lead, because whoever leads it is one of the mejnores candidates that the space could have, which is María Eugenia Vidal, “he stressed. The economist then explained why he accepted the call: “The decision is difficult, because I know what I’m left behind, because I know I can’t be an economic journalist in the morning and a candidate in the afternoon. I enter a mud in which I know what I have to abide by, but, at the same time, if all of us who think in a certain way do not get together and do not play it and do not encourage ourselves once and for all to put a stop to this …”. At that moment, Tetaz made a point and took direct aim at Maximo Kirchner, head of the bloc of deputies of the Front of All. “Every time I hear it with impunity from Maximo Kirchner, a person who without training at all, who because he is ‘son of’ today leads the facts in the Chamber of Deputies, the president is planted, and the president of the nation has to explain to Maximo Kirchner why he made the decision he made with Pfizer. Enough is enough, we have to put a stop to this, we need to commit many more. Today I take a step that for me is fundamental personally but I want it to be read that way. It is a step for a construction, to put the brakes on this project,” he said. To close, he highlighted the figure of Patricia Bullrich -after the head of the PRO withdrew her candidacy-, with whom she acknowledged agreeing in many aspects, but remarked that this “is not a moment of differences”,but “of uniting to put a brake on it.” There is a massive call to build a political alizana in Argentina among the people who work, who study and who invest,” he concluded.
