Córdoba: Kirchnerism seeks to survive with a coalition full of fringe parties

Although Córdoba is the most hostile stronghold to Kirchnerism in the country, the group insists on presenting a list. The excuse is "popular representation," but not even its own supporters believe in a comeback. As in every election, student centers seem to be the only solid territory for local Cristinismo.

Patria Grande, the Communist Party, Kolina, and other groups joined forces under the label "Fuerza Patria." Negotiations dragged on until the last moment due to internal disputes. Meanwhile, the Partido de la Victoria withdrew and the Frente Renovador was left out for not having their paperwork in order.

The alliance's closure was marked by the mishandling of the top spot on the list. Grabois demanded that Coti San Pedro lead the list to save the front from embarrassment. Meanwhile, Pablo Carro kept waiting to be allowed to run again, as if anyone remembered him outside his union.

Fuerza Patria: a bag of cats with airs of epic resistance

Nothing seems to stop Córdoba's Kirchnerism in its crusade to maintain its minuscule share of power. In the last elections, they did not surpass 2 points. Now, however, they are hopeful about "winning the ninth seat," as if it were a student epic rematch.

Patria Grande stated that Coti San Pedro had the support of the majority of the groups. Of course, those groups together can't even fill a committee at UNC. The struggle to lead the list remains as lengthy as it is irrelevant to Córdoba's political reality.

Not even the Frente Renovador wanted to participate in this aimless gathering. Its lack of legal status is almost anecdotal compared to the lack of votes from the rest. Kolina, the Communist Party, and the Solidarity Party complete a ticket that would make Gramsci's manual blush.

The left fractures again and Nuevo MAS is left offside

Meanwhile, Kirchnerism plays at cardboard consensus, the left is not far behind in its divisions. FIT-U closed without Nuevo MAS. Julia Di Santi, its leader, slammed the door and claimed she was never called to negotiate.

FIT-U replied that MAS was demanding spots that do not reflect its electoral weight. In other words: they bring neither votes, nor structure, nor previous seats. Even so, they will present a list on the 17th and will compete for the same university electorate that still refuses to grow.

In FIT-U, on the other hand, the struggle tilted in favor of Liliana Olivero, a historic local leader. Her party, Izquierda Socialista, would take the top spot. They promise to "confront the austerity of Milei, Llaryora, and Passerini," as if they still lived in the Soviet Union.

The ninth seat: the illusion that unites all the marginalized

Both Kirchnerism and the left look longingly at the desired ninth Córdoba seat. They dream of sneaking through the gap between the major parties. However, their chances are more of an activist fantasy, with no basis in real votes.

The last elections made it clear that in Córdoba, the K narrative doesn't catch on, not even with a lighter. Its "structure" is barely a couple of university groups. Even so, they insist on playing at revolution from a testimonial 2%.

While Milei and Schiaretti occupy the local political scene, Cristinismo tries to sneak a name onto the lists. Not for representation, but for nostalgia. Or out of stubbornness, like that supporting actor who doesn't understand that he is no longer part of the script.
