Cristina Kirchner lowered the order to seal the unity with the PJ in the provinces

The relation of

Cristina Kirchner

with the governors of the PJ, he experiences a change of trend. The recent gestures of reconciliation of two provincial heads of government, who, just a few months ago, were working on the construction of an alternate Peronism, coexist with an order given by the former president to her leaders in all the country: look for unity.

Cristina's instructions have already resulted in agreements for provincial elections in four districts: La Pampa, San Juan, Neuquén and Río Negro. Tierra del Fuego and Chubut could be added to these provinces, where negotiations are under way so that the PC and Unidad Ciudadana (UC) can compete on the same electoral front. "Cristina has followed a very clear line and is really at the forefront of these efforts," they said.
THE NATION at the Patria Institute.

Parallel to this strategy, which could leave in a minority the provinces in which Kirchnerism appears outside the formal structure of justicialism, Cristina has tried to stand out from the differences that exist between the Peronist rulers for the power of the same district. , as are the cases of Tucumán and La Rioja.

Tucumán

The gesture of the governor of Tucumán,

Juan Manzur,

that Tuesday urged to work
r "for the unity of Peronism with Cristina Kirchner in", inscribed in the context of the local election campaign. The governor faces his predecessor, the current senator

José Alperovich,

who is presented as the candidate of the former president.

Released in a video of the official Twitter account of the PJ in Tucumán, Manzur's sentence also responds to the efforts of the emissaries of Cristina, who informed the governor that she was not going to get involved in the provincial campaign, beyond the photo. Alperovich was commissioned to publish in December his last visit to the Patria Institute.

La Rioja

In La Rioja, where former governor Luis Beder Herrera is trying to regain power, now in the hands of Sergio Casas, the former president has tried to distance himself. Although Beder claims to present himself as Kirchner's candidate, La Rioja's UC has declared itself neutral with regard to the popular referendum organized by Casas to remain in office.

With less impact than Manzur, Bertone had taken the path of reconciliation at the end of December. "Peronism should look for the best of the past and badociate it with the contributions of the new governors," said Cristina in an interview with Telam. "You can not ignore the contribution of Cristina." It would be absurd to ignore it.

After two years of bad relations, the governor and Fuegian Kirchner have begun a process of rapprochement that could lead to the formation of a common electoral front for the provincial elections. The strength of the former president governs the two most important cities of the province, with Walter Vuoto (Ushuaia) and Gustavo Melella (Rio Grande).

Chubut

This agreement, however, is still not secure. This is also not the case in Chubut, despite the fact that the mayor of Comodoro Rivadavia and possible candidate of Kirchnerism, Carlos Linares, opened the dialogue with the governor, Mariano Arcioni. The national deputy Santiago Igón, leader of La Cámpora, works to the extension of the front, although finally there is no agreement with the president.

The picture is clearer in La Pampa and San Juan, where the PCs and the UC will go on the same ballot. In the first case, the unity resulted from the reconstruction of the link between Cristina and the governor Carlos Verna, who introduces himself as deputy Sergio Ziliotto. La Cámpora representative, María Luz Alonso, will occupy a "good" place on the payroll of the provincial legislature. The unity in San Juan was reached by negotiations between the governor Sergio Uñac and the deputy José Luis Gioja.

The Neuquén agreement includes the definition of the formula of government, which will include Kirchner Ramón Rioseco and Darío Martínez, FPV national deputy and president of the local PJ. In Rio Negro, the unity is limited because, although an agreement has been signed with the mayor of General Roca, Martín Soria, the dialogue does not include Senator Miguel Ángel Pichetto, l & # 39; one of the candidates for the presidency of the alternative party PJ. Another province where Peronism is moving toward an agreement is Mendoza.

The cases of Entre Ríos and Chaco are more complex and the local referents of kircherismo, Sergio Urribarri and Jorge Capitanich, respectively, enjoy greater autonomy to define the strategy. In Salta, despite the confrontation between Cristina and Urtubey, the Kirchner does not rule out reaching an agreement for the provincial elections, with the national deputy Sergio Leavy as reference and responsible for negotiations.

Kirchner supports the electoral strategies of governors Alberto Rodríguez Saá (San Luis), Lucía Corpacci (Catamarca), Gerardo Zamora (Santiago del Estero) and Gildo Insfrán (Formosa), who have little weight in the decisions.
