Gabriela Estévez asks Natalia de la Sota to formalize and join Kirchnerism

Córdoba's Peronism is experiencing a paradox that borders on the comical, because while some leaders reject Kirchnerism, others end up acting as if they were part of it. This is the case of Natalia De La Sota, who insists on presenting herself as independent even though she always supports the Kirchnerist bloc in Congress.  Faced with this reality, Gabriela Estévez chose to put into words what many had already noticed, and she did so with a message full of truth.

During an interview on a streaming channel, De la Sota spoke about the need to integrate Córdoba into a national Justicialism, although she demanded respect for provincial identities. What is curious is that her position doesn't differ at all from the discourse that Cristina Kirchner's spokespersons have been repeating for years.  That detail was enough for Estévez to invite her to stop beating around the bush and join the K project directly.

The Unión por la Patria deputy used the social network X to send her the invitation, stating that it would be "spectacular" for her to join the party under the leadership of the former president. With a post on social media, she made it clear that the "Cordoban comrades" are already participating in different areas and all that remains is for Natalia to join. The closing with an affectionate "kisses" reinforced the tone between ironic and mocking (but truthful) of the comment.

The game of independence that never was

De la Sota's strategy of presenting herself as a differentiated figure seems more like a narrative than a reality, given that her legislative conduct contradicts it.  Every time she had to decide, she voted in the same direction as Kirchnerism, even in moments of high political tension. That conduct confirms that her "autonomy" is more a discursive resource than a real position.

After the conviction in the Vialidad case, De La Sota was one of the few Córdoba leaders who publicly expressed support for the former president. At that time, she spoke of social unrest, the need to preserve peace, and even questioned the Judiciary. Her words could have been signed by any Kirchnerism leader without any need for change.

With that background, Estévez's request doesn't seem far-fetched, but rather just the description of a reality that De La Sota insists on concealing.  The Defendamos Córdoba candidate acts as a K ally, even though she presents herself under another label. The irony of the ruling party deputy only shed light on what many voters already clearly perceive: De La Sota is an unaligned Kirchnerist.
