While Milei sweeps the polls in Córdoba, local Peronism is divided and directionless.The ultra-Kirchnerist Pablo Carro rejected a possible alliance with Natalia de la Sota. "I don't see it," he said, referring to the possible agreement with someone he considers close to Juan Schiaretti.
Carro targeted De la Sota for not confronting Governor Llaryora head-on. He also accused her of softening her criticism of Milei. He said his own electorate demands loyalty to pure Kirchnerism and that this separates them.
According to Carro, De la Sota and Schiaretti are part of the same strategy. Both, according to him, seek to contain the left in order to disguise their agreement with Milei.

Córdoba's Kirchnerism: isolated and without solid allies
Carro presents himself as an option for the hardline Kirchnerist electorate. He vindicates Cristina Kirchner and demands that Milei be condemned without half measures. He criticized De la Sota for not clearly repudiating the judicial conviction of the former president.
"That little institutional vibe of respecting the branches doesn't work," he said, regarding the deputy's stance on the Supreme Court's ruling. Carro demands a more radical line. He pointed out that the "complicity" of Córdoba's Peronism with Milei must be denounced.
He also accused Llaryora's deputies of being functional to the national government. He insisted that they must throw a wrench in the government's plans and prevent Argentines from making progress, just because they are not in power.

Peronist fragmentation in Córdoba ahead of October 26
Natalia de la Sota launched her own space to renew her seat. But her lack of a clear stance regarding Cristina and Milei makes the K's uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Kirchnerism seeks to retain a tiny electorate.
Carro acknowledged coincidences in legislative votes with De la Sota, but insisted on highlighting essential differences. He said Cordobesismo "thinks about 2027," not about defending the voter today. "The farther from the K's, the better," he summed up the strategy of the local ruling party.
