The closing of lists for the management of the PRO in Córdoba ended with a scenario of strong controversy and legal definitions pending resolution. Oscar Tamis heads the only proposal that managed to overcome the controls of the Electoral Board, although its proclamation depends on challenges. This internal process, far from pacifying the waters, exposed the profound differences maintained by the various sectors of the party
