(N.A.) - After long hours of debate and internal bidding, the Frente La Libertad Avanza (La Libertad Avanza Front) defined the heads of the lists with which they will compete for the province with Fuerza Patria in the elections on September 7, which will elect 23 senators, 46 provincial deputies, municipal councilors and school counselors.

To that end, La Libertad Avanza and the PRO (National Progressive Party) spent a Saturday filled with meetings between the parties and cross-exchanges during a day in which everything happened. Finally, they managed to agree on the lists of candidates, which were sealed with the signatures of the candidates who came to the offices located in downtown La Plata, at the intersection of 13th and 48th Streets. The offices were attended by PRO legislators Diego Santilli and Cristian Ritondo, and received the blessing of the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and her advisor Eduardo"Lule" Menem, who traveled to the provincial capital.

The first candidate officially announced by both parties was Diego Valenzuela, the mayor of Tres de Febrero, who heads the list for the First Electoral Section, which elects eight senators. He is seconded by María Luz Bambaci, an official from the Ministry of Security, and in third place is Luciano Olivera, a Libertarian activist and one of the negotiators who answers to the shipowner Sebastián Pareja.

For its part, and following the departure of four mayors who broke the agreement and are presenting their own lists (Javier Martínez from Pergamino; Diego Reyes from Puan; María José Gentile from María José Gentile; and Pablo Petrecca from Junín), the PRO leads the list in the Second Electoral Section, which will put eleven seats in the Chamber of Deputies of the province of Buenos Aires up for grabs. The party's leader in the province, Representative Cristian Ritondo, placed Natalia Blanco, president of the council bloc of Zárate, at the top of the ticket.

Following the conviction of two-time President Cristina Kirchner in the Roads case, which barred her from running for the Third Section, La Libertad Avanza decided that its candidate would be Maximiliano Bondarenko, a former Buenos Aires police officer and current councilman in Florencio Varela, who is close to Pareja.

With a Cambiemita background, a member of Facundo Manes's 2021 list, he will lead the list and will be supported by PRO deputy María Sotolano, seeking to win the largest number of the 18 seats at stake.

Another new addition to the list is the spot the Libertarians have assigned to former Campor member Leila Gianni, who resigned from her position as Undersecretary of Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Human Capital to dedicate herself to local activism in La Matanza. In that municipality, Gianni will compete at the top of the list for council members and face Mayor Fernando Espinoza, who will run as a nominee.

For the Fourth Section, which elects seven senators, Pareja chose Gonzalo Cabezas, the National Director of Municipal Relations, from the Chief of Staff's Office. He is also the party's general secretary in the province.

In the distribution that satisfied both parties, the PRO party retained the leadership of the Fifth Section, behind the mayor of General Pueyrredón, Guillermo Montenegro, who is aiming to win five representatives for the Buenos Aires Senate. Far from being a token candidate, the Mar del Plata mayor announced his departure from the mayor's office through a post on X.

In the Sixth, Oscar Liberman will head the list for eleven seats. He is an eccentric figure who presents himself as a libertarian writer, musician, and economist.

The Libertarians also secured the leadership of the Seventh Section, which will elect three senators, following Tapalqué native Alejandro Speroni, former Undersecretary of Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Economy of the Nation and one of the candidates who attempted to contest the mayoralty of the town in the center of the province.

In the Eighth, one of Pareja's voices in the negotiations with the PRO party, Juan Esteban"Juanes" Osaba, is the first candidate for provincial deputy, followed by the yellow legislator Julieta Quintero Chasman, who answers to Diego"El Colo" Santilli. In third place, the brother of the presidential spokesman, Francisco Adorni, will complete the list of three other senators.

In this way, the libertarian bishops and the interlocutors of the yellow party shared the seats in a division that included the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, but marginalized the actors of the Forces of Heaven, who answer to presidential advisor Santiago Caputo, and who were demanding their place.

The youngest of the Milei families opted to grant the renewal of one of the seats in the Buenos Aires Legislature to the Secretary of Worship, Nahuel Sotelo, who will be placed fifth on the list of deputies for the Third Section.
