La Matanza: Together for Change accuses Espinoza of not wanting to debate

The mayor Fernando Espinoza, community chief of La Matanza, did not accept the debate proposal launched by the candidate of Together for Change (JxC) for the municipality, Eduardo “Lalo” Creus, who accused him of “hiding” for fear of losing votes in the face of the October 22 elections. I watch the debate at the national level and I find it incredible that we can not have in our municipality the opportunity to exchange ideas, “said Creus.The criticism also reached Adrián Martínez, better known as “El Dipy”, candidate for mayor of La Matanza for La Libertad Avanza, who dragged by the excellent election made by Javier Milei in the district finished in second place on August 13, in the primary elections.” Do you dare to debate with me, Espinoza and Dipy? Or are they going to keep hiding? I have proposals and ideas to tell, you?”, Creus completed with the hashtag “#LaMatanzaQuiereDebate”. A councilor of the Left Front, Natalia Hernández, went beyond words and presented a project in the Deliberative Council to institutionalize the pre-election debate in Matanzas territory. However, the initiative will have to wait, since the body will not meet until after the elections at the end of the month and, in any case, if the issue is analyzed it will be applied for the next elections.” I believe that a local debate is necessary because it is a very important district, with a large population and its flow of votes affects the Province and the Nation,” insisted Creus, the candidate for mayor of JxC. He also explained that “we are on our way to a new composition of the Deliberative Council and we have time to do it for the next elections.” Despite repeated requests, Espinoza never responded on the matter and concentrated all efforts on the caravan that last Saturday made through the municipality Sergio Massa and Axel Kicillof.Si well in the PASO Espinoza was the winner in the internal Peronist against Patricia Cubría, still working to contain many of the pointers who accompanied the candidate of the Evita Movement, who are tempted to jump into the ranks of El Dipy, with the promise of future positions in local subsidiaries of national organizations (Pami, Anses, Correo, among others), in case of a victory of Milei.The cumbia singer at first seemed to accept the proposal to debate, but formally never responded to the invitation, so Creus also extended his criticism to him. “You came only once and walked alone. You can’t hide because you’re not even here. I repeat: it is not enough to be famous to manage an intendancy. I hope you will at least come to the debate. I’m waiting for you,” Creus said. Dipy doubled down by claiming that Bullrich’s representative was angry that he had come third in the election. Martinez made in recent days a tour with the candidate for governor of the libertarians, Carolina Píparo, who also bets that the scandal starring Martin Insaurralde hit Governor Axel Kicillof.Si well in the August PASO Union for the Fatherland won the elections of La Matanza in all areas, Justicialism staged one of its worst elections in history. Fernando Espinoza won the internal election but his candidacy barely garnered 27 percent of the more than 635,000 positive votes cast, since he obtained 170,682 votes against 109,593 for Cubría, wife of the piquetero leader and official Emilio Pérsico, and between them they barely reached 44 percent. The Dipy obtained no less than 148,163 votes (23.97 percent), with a tiny campaign on public roads, but very powerful in the “alternative” radios, which are counted by hundreds in La Matanza. While in a surprising third place was Together for Change, which barely reached 22.82 percent, with Creus at the head of the municipal ballot.
