De Narváez breaks off deal with Alfonsín, campaigns alongside Rodríguez Saá

Union for Social Development gubernatorial candidate Francisco De Narváez seems to have definitely ended his political deal with the Radical Party and headed a rally alongside new political partner and presidential candidate Alberto Rodríguez Saá.

The businessman and the current San Luis province governor met with a group of the Juan Domingo Perón neigbourhood, in the Greater Buenos Aires area of Villa Caraza, ahead of the October 23rd elections. “The aim is to gather the support of the 53 percent of those Buenos Aires residents that didn’t vote for the Kirchnerite candidates,” Rodríguez Saá and De Narvaez said in a statement.

Both candidates explained their plans far from the Radical Party’s support and stated that “we need to give Buenos Aires province more autonomy and coordinate the national and provincial security forces to fight against crimes.”

De Narváez joined forces with Ricardo Alfonsín and the Radical Party to form the Union for Social Development, but the poor results in the August primaries, in which President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner gathered 50, 24 percent of votes and Daniel Scioli came in first in the race for Buenos Aires province gubernatorial bid, weakened the alliance to a point no return.
