Jorge Altamira, historical leader from the Argentine left, will be a candidate again after 6 years in the next legislative elections, in the middle of the debate on unity of all the forces to compete in the Primaries.
The Tendency of the Partido Obrero, a force that founded after the breakup of the PO, designated as pre-candidates and heads of lists Marcelo ramal in the City and Altamira in the province of Buenos Aires, along with a call for a PASO from the entire left.
“Our proposal is an initiative to that the electorate focus their attention in a single list of the left, “said the leader through a statement.
Nicolás del Caño, from PTS, won the internship against Altamira in 2015.
In the previous to the closing of lists, the debate of “a great STEP” crosses the Frente de Izquierda Unidad, where the PTS, Socialist Left and the MST they raise this possibility, against the position of the official PO to go with “unified lists”.
“The PASO should serve to warn workers about this impasse history of the current social regime, and an opportunity for each party to explain their own platform“Altamira added.
Altamira’s extensive career, with several candidacies under his belt, led him to compete in the FIT internship in 2015, when he was defeated by Nicolás del Caño in that Primary.
Four years later, in the middle of the electoral debate heading for the 2019 presidential elections, Altamira was expelled from the PO and began another path.
After his departure, along with Ramal, a former Buenos Aires legislator, founded the Tendency of the PO with which they will seek to participate in the next elections with the Workers’ Politics seal.
To do this, they must obtain the legal status on behalf of the federal electoral judge María Servini de Cubría.
Until now they achieved the goal of the electoral authority in Tucumán, Salta, Santa Fe and Santiago del Estero where they will present their own lists.
Hot Debate
The proposal of a great STEP by all the left forces is in full debate among the FIT-U parties (PO, PTS, IS, MST) and cuts through the rest.
The Left Front Unity puts into play two seats of deputies nationals of the Province of Buenos Aires, for which Del Caño and Romina del Plá were elected.
In addition, it renews three representatives of the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires, and one place in the Buenos Aires Legislature by the jurisdiction of La Plata.
Del Caño’s strength made public his statement of “unity of the whole left” and he even launched a petition to gather signatures and join wills in pursuit of an agreement for “use the STEP mechanism to form unitary lists in the general elections of November. “The other forces that make up the FIT-U spoke in the same vein from the MST and IS.
Days ago, Manuela Castañeira, of the New MAS, invited Del Caño to carry out a “public debate before the closing of the alliances”, where it would also take its approach to unity.
Gabriel Solano, of the official PO, rejects this proposal and points out the need to go to the elections with “unified lists”, with the objective of reinforcing “the unitary intervention not only in the electoral campaign but also as a reference and political alternative to the struggles that are beginning to face the health and social catastrophe that we are experiencing.
Miriam Bregman.
In the midst of this discussion, the names of Miriam bregman and Solano sound to lead through the City, while in the Province the idea is that From the Caño Y Romina del Plá get back to the top of the charts.
The force of Luis Zamora, Self-determination and Freedom, decided to stand outside of this discussion and has already announced that they will compete at the polls with their own list and candidates.
