Mayra Mendoza with leaders of the PRO, the UCR and a Milei official in the US

In the midst of widespread chaos and a total lack of leadership, in Peronism everyone is playing their own game. And this seems to be made clear by the photo that was released in the last few hours of the mayor of Quilmes and leader of the group. The CamporaMayra Mendoza, posing alongside various leaders of the PRO, the UCR and even an official from Milei’s government in the United States.

The context is the journey that they all share together through Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area of ​​California that is home to many of the world’s leading technology companies. The delegation was made up of deputies Cristian Ritondo (PRO) and Rodrigo de Loredo (UCR); senator Maximiliano Abad (UCR); governors Ignacio Torres (Chubut), Juan Schiaretti (Córdoba) and Carlos Sadir (Jujuy); the director of ARSAT and current Milei official, Noelia Ruiz and even Darío Nieto, who was Mauricio Macri’s private secretary and he is a man of extreme confidence.

The photo is important because it shows a leader very close to Cristina Kirchner building bridges with leaders of the PRO and the UCR, in an event organized and financed by the Fundación Universitaria del Río de la Plata (FURP) chaired by Francisco Quintana. Who is Quintana? A man closely linked to Mauricio Macri who has held important positions in the PRO, was a Buenos Aires legislator and is now the president of the Council of the Judiciary. In addition, Quintana is a member of the National Assembly of the UCR. Secretary of the Pensar Foundation, the think tank from PRO.

“The main objective is to develop an agenda of technological issues for Argentina. The activity includes a visit to the headquarters of Tools For Humanity (Worldcoin Project) in San Francisco,” said Schiaretti.

Worldcoin Project is owned by Sam Altman, creator of Chat GPT and CEO of Open AI. In March, it received Milei and a whole delegation from the government, with Karina Milei and Luis “Toto” Caputo at the head.

The photo of Mayra Mendoza with the leaders of the PRO and the UCR comes amidst various displays of moderation and bridges between Peronism and sectors of those political forces, open negotiations to vote in favor of the nomination of Judge Lijo for the Supreme Court (as acknowledged by the Kirchnerist senator Mariano Recalde) and the nods from some sectors of Peronism towards Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who has a strong internal rift with the president. A picture that paints a decadent postcard of a Peronism in crisis after the electoral defeat, and that seems to have concluded by copying and imitating aspects of the program and even some of the forms of the right that at one time it claimed to confront.
