Juan Pablo Valdés, brother of Gustavo Valdéswill be the new governor of Corrientes. He imposes himself as a winner in the first round. Second is Kirchnerism, which led Martín Ascúa as a candidate. The fourth place, without reaching 9 points, is for Lisandro Almirón, the Libertad candidate progresses.
The provincial elections left a scenario that, although predictable, says a lot about the crisis of representativeness that the country travels. Seven formulas played the governorate and vice governance, with the Renewal of 627 positions between legislative, intendencies, councils and even conventional constituents. The fact was the poor performance of the libertarians, who did not even manage to channel discontent and, at the close of this note, did not reach 10% of the votes.
The provincial ruling bet on continuity: “Come on” Juan Pablo Valdés, brother of the current governor, Gustavo Valdés. It was not any post pass: it is the deepening of a family scheme that controls currents since 1999. Gustavo Valdés, in addition, claimed to continue influencing to apply as a provincial senator.
Radical machinery imposed the same: with 52% of the votes, Juan Pablo Valdés was elected in the first round and the UCR celebrated. Participation exceeded 73% of the register, despite the bad weather inside.
The main opposition space was the Peronism/Kirchnerismwith the list “Clean currents”, headed by Martín “Tincho” Ascúa, mayor of Paso de los Libres. Despite the complaints of the provincial ruling, he achieved 20% of the votes, leaving a second round.
Third, it remained Ricardo Colombi, a historic reference of the UCR, former governor three times and political rival of the Valdés. He competed with the Eco Seal (meeting for Corrientes). He achieved 17% of the votes.
The eldest Failure was, without a doubt, that of freedom progresses. The libertarian candidate was Lisandro Almirón, accompanied by the support of Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem. At the close of this note, while the provisional count continues, that list reaches 8.8%.
