Four senators announced their withdrawal from the Frente de Todos Inter-Bloc this Thursday. Outgoing senators are Edgardo Cuider (Enter Ríos), Carlos Espinola (Corrientes) of the Frente Nacional y Popular bloc, close to the provincial governors; and Guillermo Snopek (Jujuy), and María Eugenia Catalfamo (San Luis), members of the Unidad Ciudadana bloc, with Vice-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner referencing more. The legislators will form a new position within the upper house, called Unidad Federal, together with Senator Alejandra Vigo of Córdoba, wife of the governor of the said province, Juan Schiereti, who is not aligned with the national government. Thus, the ruling party would no longer have its own quorum and would have 31 senators, while the main opposition coalition Juntos por el Cambio’s 33 would correspond to the new United Federal Bloc’s 5, plus 3 minority vacancies.

Grieta” (Gap), which confronts the ruling party and the main opposition, assures that “the gap benefits only those who opened it, those who take advantage of it”. He said that “the presidency should be the beginning of a path of great change”. In this sense, although the mayor made official his pre-candidacy for the Juntos por el Cambio, he will not be the only one from the opposition coalition, as is Patricia Bulrich, former security minister and current president of Propuesta Republicana (PRO); Gerardo Morales, Governor of Jujuy and President of the National Committee of the Union Civica Radical (UCR); And the national deputy, Facundo Manes, is also in the running. However, none of them have officially launched their pre-candidates and former President Mauricio Macri, who has not yet defined whether he will run, may also run. Finally, Diego Santilli, the current national deputy and linked to Rodríguez Larreta, last week confirmed his pre-candidacy for governor of Buenos Aires province, the country’s most populous district.
