The presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria (UxP), Sergio Massa, continues to garner support ahead of the November 19 runoff that will define the future national government and where he will face economist Javier Milei at the polls. “LLA ideas do not represent me,” The representative for Córdoba said yesterday on her social networks, Natalia De la Sota, who responds to the governor of Cordoba and former presidential candidate Juan Schiaretti and is a member of the Federal Interblock. The legislator’s announcement in favor of Massa was joined by that of his benchmate, Alejandro “Topo” Rodríguezwho directly stated that will vote “by Mass” on election day.

“I said it a while ago and I maintain it today: In a runoff scenario I was not going to be indifferent. “I want a State that embraces, with social justice, that supports production, with health and quality public education,” De la Sota indicated on his social network account X, announcing his support despite the fact that Schiaretti expressed his neutrality for the second electoral round. The deputy of the same interbloc expressed himself along the same lines, el Topo Rodríguezpointed out that “as an Argentine and a Peronist, I will not support those who say they admire Margaret Thatcher for having won the Malvinas War and maintain that Social Justice is an aberration”, pointing against Milei and in favor of Massa. “I will vote for Sergio Massa”Rodriguez added.
