The dispute over the leadership of Justicialismo in view of the 2025 legislative elections has triggered tensions among leaders and militants. On November 17, the lists of former president Cristina Kirchner and the governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, will face off for the leadership of the party, provided that Quintela secures the necessary endorsements to present his list.
The mayor of Escobar, Ariel Sujarchuk, advocated for party unity through a letter expressing his desire for a single list, despite being part of Cristina Kirchner's list. Sujarchuk emphasized that the real enemy is not any internal candidate, but President Javier Milei, highlighting Cristina Kirchner's political organizing ability.
Pablo Moyano, leader of the Truckers' Union, criticized the internal dispute in the PJ, arguing that amid a severe economic crisis like the one the country is experiencing, confrontations among leaders are pointless. Moyano pointed out that it is necessary to focus on more urgent issues than the upcoming internal party process.
In this landscape of divisions and tensions, leaders like Sujarchuk and Moyano highlight the importance of unity and the need to put aside internal disputes to concentrate on the real needs of the country. With an acute economic crisis and problems requiring immediate solutions, the call for unity seems more relevant than ever.
