Natalia De la Sota created her own space... to say the same thing as Kirchnerism

National deputy Natalia de la Sota confirmed her candidacy for re-election for Córdoba, leading a new group called "Defendamos Córdoba." According to her statement, this coalition will seek to distance itself from provincial Peronism, although her rhetoric seems copied from the most classic Kirchnerism. In a post shared on social media, she criticized the "unfair cuts" and targeted Javier Milei's government.

The group was presented as a citizen initiative and outside traditional politics, but it was launched with the support of Frente Grande and Partido Laborista. The daughter of the late former governor José Manuel de la Sota shared a video in which she accused Milei of implementing a "brutal adjustment" against Argentines. "When we defend Córdoba, we defend those who build it every day: you," she wrote on Instagram.

Despite the attempt to distance herself from Kirchnerism, De la Sota's messages follow an identical script to the K narrative. She questions the national government's adjustments but doesn't offer any self-criticism for the state in which they left the country. The new electoral strategy seems more like an aesthetic change, without modifying the core of the political thinking it represents.

A "new group" with old pro-Kirchnerist rhetoric

De la Sota insists on presenting herself as an alternative to Kirchnerism, but attacks the government with the same words and worn-out rhetoric. She criticizes the adjustment without explaining how the inherited fiscal disaster would be solved, nor how public spending would be financed. The same rhetoric now comes with a new name, but the message remains unchanged.

The coalition has also allied itself with governors such as Ignacio Torres, Carlos Sadir, Claudio Vidal, and Maximiliano Pullaro, among others. Although they promise federalism, they choose to confront the national government with ambiguous positions and contradictory demands. Llaryora is part of the coalition but keeps his own profile and avoids the toughest stances, unlike De la Sota.

Additionally, the group stated that it won't present candidates in the province or in the city of Buenos Aires. That decision seems to avoid direct confrontation with hardline Kirchnerism, which they claim not to belong to. Meanwhile, while they accuse Milei, they align themselves with his most traditional opponents, making it clear which side they're on in the struggle for power.
