Just days before the legislative elections in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the PRO candidate, Silvia Lospennato, expressed strong support for the radical Kirchnerist candidate Leandro Santoro, representative of the Es Ahora Buenos Aires list, the list promoted by the corruption-convicted Cristina Kirchner.
During an interview on the A24 outlet, Lospennato stated: "I know him, Santoro is not the problem with that list, the problem is the list, not Santoro", avoiding directly attacking the Kirchnerist candidate and directing her criticisms solely at the composition of the Kirchnerist list.
Lospennato's words, a prominent figure of the PRO and backed by Mauricio Macri, once again surprise in a campaign context marked by polarization between the national government, represented by La Libertad Avanza with Manuel Adorni, and the opposing forces, including the Buenos Aires Kirchnerism.
Macri admitted that Lospennato wanted to step down
Yesterday, an intimate scene was revealed that portrays the internal unrest of the PRO and the tensions its leaders are experiencing. During an interview on TN, Macri recounted that Lospennato called him in tears to say she wanted to leave politics.
