Pichetto: “Macri has until March to decide if he will be a candidate”

Already within the election year and with the preparations for the elections above, Miguel Ángel Pichetto, one of the leaders of the coalition of Together for Change (JxC), assured that the former president, Mauricio Macri, has until March to make a decision regarding the next elections. Time is running out. In April, the lists and programs for the August primary election must begin. We are in discount time,” he began expressing in radio statements with Eduardo Paladini on Radio Rivadavia.In that sense, Pichetto said that “former President Macri has until March as a maximum time to resolve and make his decision. One understands that this is an important life decision personally, but there is the destiny of Argentina as well.” Likewise, the Auditor General of the Nation analyzed the previous formulas. “This scheme that the leader is the leader and power is delegated to another figure, this issue is exhausted for the worse. It’s not going to work, and it’s not credible either. The experiences have been very frustrating. There is nothing stronger than presidential power in Argentina. Nor a presidential power subordinate to another figure. It seems to me that in this experience the leaders must be the strongest in the face of the electoral process and settle a path for Argentina,” he explained. Finally, Pichetto referred to Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s announcement after the sentence in the Vialidad Case, and questioned the decision. “A political process is underway within Kirchnerism to rebuild the centrality of Cristina Fernández. The statement made a posteriori by the Vialidad trial was a mistake, perhaps because of the effects of the result,” he said.
