Over 45% of Chaco's residents chose us in the last election, which speaks to a movement that does not give up and seeks to build based on listening, work, and representation throughout the territory," highlighted Capitanich. Ortega, backed by mayors from the north of the province, stated: "Peronism lives in every neighborhood, in every community in the interior, in every worker who resists, and in every woman who sustains her home. The Chaco Peronism renewed its authorities and defined a leadership that seeks to synthesize experience, territory, and renewal, with a hallmark of unity and openness to all sectors of the movement. After receiving the support of more than 45% of Chaco's residents in the last elections, the Justicialist Party of Chaco began a new stage of political reconstruction and strengthening with the appointment of Jorge Capitanich as president of the Provincial Council and Inés Ortega Bulinki Correa, mayor of Fuerte Esperanza, as vice president. The new leadership proposes a Peronism open to dialogue and collective work throughout the province, with the decision to rebuild the political force in every community and space for participation. The Capitanich-Ortega duo symbolizes the articulation between a management career and a new generation of leaders who seek to interpret the challenges of the current political and social scenario. "This is a time of reorganization, encounter, and collective work. There is no possible leadership without the people; and there is no organized people without a strong Peronism." From the new party leadership, it was anticipated that the immediate objective will be to consolidate an agenda that brings together mayors, legislators, and militants from all sectors, with a focus on a stage of political and social reconstruction. The party structure is completed with the participation of the labor movement, represented by Isaías Alegre, a CGT leader, who will hold the second vice-presidency with the commitment to contribute the perspective of workers and working women. Meanwhile, the Chaco PJ party congress also renewed its leadership, which fell into the hands of Miguel Sotelo, from the 'Primero Chaco' space, and Deputy María Luisa Chomiak. Both leaders reaffirmed the willingness to build a united, pluralistic, participatory, and representative Peronism of all expressions of the movement.
