John Grabois and Claudio Lozano.
The Patria Grande Front, led by Juan Grabois, and Popular Unity, headed by Claudio Lozano, insisted this Saturday on their demand that the “restrictions” be lifted and they can participate in the internal competition within the Union for the Homeland (UxP).
“In the early hours of today Unidad Popular and the Frente Patria Grande talked about the new situation that implies the definition of a conservative guidance formula and defender of the agreement with the IMF at the head of Unión Por la Patria”, Lozano reported on his Twitter account about the formula made up of Sergio Massa and Agustín Rossi, surprisingly announced last night.
In that meeting, Lozano maintained “the need to convene the group of forces that share this vision (Sovereigns, PTP, PC and others) for require the inclusion in the STEP of a proposal at all levels regardless of all the restrictions that today prevent a democratic STEP” and warned that “in case this is not accepted, he does not rule out leaving the alliance and competing outside.”

For its part, the Patria Grande Front raised “the possibility of going to a STEP only in the category of President and in the rest continue with unified lists and deciding district by district”.
As reported by both spaces, it was decided to continue the talks, a few hours after the expiration of the deadline for the presentation of lists, which ends at midnight this Saturday.
Meanwhile, the space led by Grabois ratified this Saturday his intention to compete in the PASO and launched a campaign called “Vamos a las PASO” on social networks to add the necessary guarantees to present themselves.

Likewise, through the networks, he disseminated a link for those who wish to sign up to participate in the campaign of the social leader.
On Friday night, after the Massa-Rossi formula was announced, Grabois said that he will keep his wordby confirming his intention to compete in the internal UxP.
“Don’t be confused. I keep my word. We’re going to STEP. I’m going to be a candidate. We have the constitutional right,” he said minutes after it was confirmed from the official account of Unión por la Patria that Massa-Rossi was the formula for the presidency of the ruling coalition.
Hours before, when it was expected that the presidential formula would be headed by the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo de Pedro, Grabois had declined his application.
The social leader simultaneously supported the candidacies of Axel Kicillof as governor of the province of Buenos Aires and Pedro Rosemblat for head of the Buenos Aires Government.
