Rodríguez Larreta: “The unity of the PRO and JxC is more guaranteed than ever”

The head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, defended the call for concurrent elections and assured that “the only decision” he made “is to comply with the law.” “The Electoral Code is very clear, you vote with a Single Ballot,” he said. He denied, on the other hand, that the internal discussion puts unity at risk.” I made two decisions: voting with Single Electronic Ballot and the same day as the national election so that porteños do not have to go six times to vote. That is more expensive, “said the mayor, who avoided entering the debate that opened in the PRO after its announcement. “I do not participate in internal discussions,” he said, but assured that the unity of the PRO and JxC “is more guaranteed than ever.” “That’s why they never listened to me and they never will hear me questioning another JxC member,” he added. During an act of recognition to the Special Rescue Group of the firefighters, Rodríguez Larreta insisted that it is a decision he makes as head of Government and remarked that he is “convinced” that “it makes transparency.” “At CABA we comply with the law,” he reiterated. He recalled that the Single Ballot is a modality that all the members of PRO and Together for Change have been proposing for years and that is why he does not understand “the fights” that his measure unleashed. It is a law that is implemented in CABA and a value, a flag that we have been proposing for years all the members of PRO and JXC. It is the most transparent way to vote, the list ends with this, “said the presidential candidate of the PRO during an act He denied, on the other hand, that the separation of the Buenos Aires election from the national one benefits the candidate of the radicalism, Martín Lousteau. He affirmed, on the other hand, that “it favors the porteños.” “With this system there is a level playing field for everyone.” Finally, he said that within the PRO they will work “tending to have only one candidate.”
