Córdoba: Schiaretti puts together a coalition of 14 parties to avoid embarrassment against Milei

Cordobesismo formalized the "Provincias Unidas" alliance, a conglomerate of 14 parties without a clear ideological direction. The front includes everything from PJ and GEN to the Intransigent Party and the Neighborhood Action Movement. The strategy aims to contain the libertarian wave that threatens to sweep across the entire country in October.

The coalition presents itself as the continuation of "responsible management," but in reality, it is a refuge in the absence of competitive candidates. Among the parties that make up the front are Compromiso Federal, socialism, Christian Democracy, and even local forces without real influence. The official ballot will depend on whether Schiaretti agrees to lead it, something not yet 100% confirmed.

Schiaretti's inner circle admits that Milei's figure causes them concern, after the 74% he obtained in 2023. Meanwhile, llaryorismo celebrates the radical chaos and the disappearance of Córdoba's PRO.

A front without identity or direction, on the verge of electoral opportunism

In practice, Provincias Unidas is nothing more than an electoral patchwork to avoid losing power in the province. With a mix of lukewarm Peronism, recycled progressivism, and neighborhood parties, cordobesismo is betting on survival. Without clear ideas or substantive proposals, they rely on the memory of past management achievements to retain votes.

The campaign discourse targets the national government, although without daring to mention Javier Milei directly. The strategy will be to criticize "with dignity," without direct confrontation, attempting to occupy a space that no longer exists. In practice, that "middle road" has only served to disguise an alliance that will ultimately be functional to Kirchnerismo.

A cordobesismo in retreat, clinging to Schiaretti as a last resort

Meanwhile, Milei is consolidating his image in Córdoba, and local Peronism is placing all its bets on a possible candidacy of the "Gringo." Schiaretti published a message on social media that was interpreted as the beginning of his pre-campaign, with moderate criticism of the national government.

The former governor accused the Executive of making a "drastic" adjustment, but also rejected populism and fiscal irresponsibility. The discursive balance seems tailor-made for a space that doesn't want to make anyone uncomfortable, although it represents fewer and fewer people.

Provincias Unidas's campaign will try to avoid Milei's radar, betting that others will engage in direct confrontation. However, cordobesismo's ideological lukewarmness no longer appeals to an electorate seeking clear definitions.
