Rodrigo de Loredo appealed Judge Vaca Narvaja's ruling ordering open internal elections in UCR Córdoba. The process was set for August 10, three days after the deadline for electoral alliances, after annulling the suspension of the party Congress. Although he disagrees, De Loredo will submit his own list to prevent Mestre from being the sole candidate.
The move seeks to halt the proclamation of the Más Radicalismo list, led by Ramón Mestre. Deloredismo keeps that the ruling ignores recent party practices. They also object to the judicial schedule exceeding the deadline for alliances, set for August 7.
According to Generación X, the group leading the party's bodies, there is no contradiction in appealing and submitting a list. They argue that formal compliance prevents last-minute maneuvers. Meanwhile, the party remains undecided regarding its position for the October legislative elections.
Dispute over control and electoral strategy
The court ruling overturned the party Congress's resolution suspending the internal election. It also returned to the Electoral Board the obligation to call for elections. The deadline for submitting lists was this Friday, and the process includes both members and non-members.
Ramón Mestre welcomed the measure and considered it necessary after the elimination of the PASO. His list has already been submitted and is so far the only one legally eligible. The former mayor targets De Loredo and Ferrer, whom he accuses of seeking to make deals without consulting the party base.
