Córdoba: the left can't even agree enough to reach 2% in October

FITU and Nuevo MAS are arguing with each other; meanwhile, in Córdoba, the left would not even surpass a dismal 2%

As the clock ticks down to the deadline for submitting lists, Córdoba's left remains in crisis.FITU and Nuevo MAS can't even agree to have coffee together. Instead of presenting a joint list, they exchange accusations on social media as if they were in a student council election.

Córdoba is renewing 9 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and the parties have until midnight to register as alliances. In the province where Milei swept with 74%, the left is fighting not to disappear. Although they talk about "unity," the only consensus seems to be their marginality.

Julia Di Santi, from Nuevo MAS, publicly called for unity with FITU, but did not even receive a formal response. Yes, there's not even coordination for that. The message was shared on X, but with the same impact as their rallies: almost none.

Julia Di Santi’s social media post criticizes the FITU’s lack of response to a call for unity in Córdoba, mentions the importance of renewing the leadership, and warns that if there is no unity, Nuevo MAS will present its own lists as a left-wing alternative in the face of the political and social crisis.

Twitter activism, repeated speeches, and 2%: guaranteed?

Nuevo MAS threatened to go it alone, with a list full of union leaders and activists. An ideological hodgepodge that can't even gather votes from its own headquarters. If there is no agreement, Di Santi would head the ticket and would once again end up with the usual 1 or 2%.

FITU claims that everything is "a marketing campaign by MAS on social media." Although they did not say whether they will present a single list, they hinted that they will not. The only clear thing is that Córdoba's electorate will have two leftist tickets, just so the voting booth can also have its moment of humor.

The Left Front, which also suffers from fragmentation in other provinces, in Córdoba survives as best it can. Despite repeating the same script as always, the results do not change. Since 2011, they have never surpassed 3%, and in 2023 not even that.

Córdoba's left: testimonial and self-referential

In a scenario where Milei swept nearly three-quarters of the electorate, the left is playing at self-destruction. They do not represent anyone, but they persist. Even so, they can't even decide among themselves whether to run together or keep playing at the paper revolution.

Meanwhile, as citizens face reforms and structural changes, FITU and Nuevo MAS keep arguing over egos. Instead of proposing new ideas, they repeat failed formulas. Córdoba has already delivered its verdict: the left doesn't represent anyone.

This Thursday at midnight is the deadline to submit alliances. With luck, the left will manage to present at least one. Although, as always, it will only serve to justify positions and airtime on some marginal channel.
