Govenors and mayors from across Argentina have met in support of Martín Insaurralde, who will lead the list of Kirchnerite Victory Front candidates in the upcoming midterm elections, while the Lomas de Zamora official took the opportunity to attack the campaign of rival Sergio Massa.
The summit was held in La Matanza, and included Buenos Aires governor Daniel Scioli as well as his counterparts José Luís Gioja (San Juan) and Luís Beder Herrera La Rioja.
Among the mayors present were Ezeiza’s Alejandro Granados and Fernando Espinoza, head of the La Matanza district.
«we have come to give unconditional support to our dear Martín Insaurralde, a colleague and a friend,» Espinoza signalled, while Buenos Aires lawmaker Juan José Dominguez added «the GESTAR [the Justicialist Party’s organisation for political formation, hosts of the event] backs its best, hardest-working candidate, which is Insaurralde, who takes forward the national government’s commitment to keep working.»
Insaurralde, meanwhile, hit back against Renewal Front leader Massa as he closed the summit, and maintained that Kirchnerism «does not need to go to a clerk’s office in order to continue transforming this nation.»
