Cristina Kirchner, the former president, set up her base of operations at the Patria Institute to plan her entry into the leadership of the national Justicialist Party. As part of the strategic meetings to strengthen her candidacy, she received former governor of Entre Ríos, Gustavo Bordet, and former head of customs, Guillermo Michel. In another instance, she met with the Kirchnerist national deputies Tomás Ledesma, Carolina Gaillard, and Blanca Osuna, along with provincial legislator Stefanía Cora and former provincial deputy Paola Rubattino.
Blanca Osuna emphasized Cristina's importance in a message, expressing: "Cristina, your voice, your perspective and proposals to move forward, your questions. What more to end the day and continue...?" Gaillard shared on her social media her meeting with Cristina to coordinate actions for the "Cristina President" campaign in Entre Ríos.
Gaillard also emphasized the need for a Justicialist leader who can interpret the new social demands and build an alternative political project to the current government. In this regard, she mentioned that they consider Cristina as the right figure to assume the presidency of the PJ National and guide the movement in these complex times.
