With her sights set on financing the final stretch of the campaign towards the presidential elections, but above all focused on recreating in the business community a scenario of support and enthusiasm for her candidacy – a phenomenon that fell significantly after PASO – the leader of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, tasked her teams with putting together fundraising dinners. According to her she knew Page I12there will be two meals that will try to be important in the volume of guests and, also, in the money to be raised.
The candidate of Together for Change He is asking between 6 million pesos and 25 million pesos per tablemoney that will be a blank contribution that will be registered in the list of campaign contributors of the National Electoral Chamber.
The meetings will be in two very different locations. The first rally will take place this Thursday, September 21, at the Yacht Club in Puerto Madero. The second, on October 3, two days after the first candidate debate, at the Movistar Arena stadium, in the Villa Crespo neighborhood.
“Patricia needs support as Registered Contributors of the Together for Change LIST to help us financially to win the general election on 10/22″, begins the invitation that several ceos received from the Bullrich teams. Next, it is specified that “on Tuesday 10/3 at the Movistar Arena, we will do a Dinner for those who commit – as a group and/or individually – to being registered contributors to Patricia’s List as a candidate for President.”
That match, in a stadium like the Movistar Arena, which has a very expensive rent, will have a particularity. Bullrich will be the main speaker but all those who pay the 6 million pesos for the tables of 10 people will have the possibility of “inviting a member of the Team who attends and with whom they are interested in talking.” A kind of political meet and greet with the main leaders who accompany “la Piba”.
At the Yacht Club, local
In the case of food at the Yacht, there will be no contact with Juntos leaders at the tables, but the rate is much higher. “They are asking us for 25 dollars,” a businessman who received the card with the claim of 25 million pesos per table told this newspaper. The place is owned by the Neuss brothers, owners of electrical companies and the firm that does technical verification in the City. They were contributors to Bullrich’s campaign and even lent him the plane for the PRO leader to return from Chubut, when he went to greet the elected governor, Ignacio Torres.
In this case, close sources clarify, the dinner is organized by the Bullrich teams. In any case, one day before that event, on the 20th, Bullrich’s candidate for governor will also speak at the Yacht, Nestor Grindetti, at a lunch organized by the Círculo Argentino, a group of businessmen from different sectors who already took the libertarian Javier Milei and, decades ago, Carlos Saúl Menem to that same place. On the same 20th, Bullrich is invited to participate as a speaker in the event organized by the Council of Commerce and Production (Cicyp).
At both dinners in which Patricia Bullrich will be present, the tables are “blocked” when “they give us the name and CUIT of the person or people who will make the contribution to the List, the 6 M. Only at that moment the Table is blocked and “The person or persons who appear as the owner/owners of that transfer will be the registered contributors.”
“There is very little left until Patricia has the opportunity to lead from the government, the profound change that forever raises the Argentine flag of order, work and republican values. Greetings to all and thank you very much!”, those who contribute are thanked, in a text that accompanies the invitations issued.
The business community doubts post-STEP
As did not happen before the primaries, the business community today is in doubt about supporting, at least publicly and with money, Patricia Bullrich. For the majority of the CEOs, including many of those who were invited to the meetings mentioned above, the candidate lost her way, out of profile by a performance by Javier Milei that, basically, took away the leitmotiv of the campaign and left them old. the slogans.
It is also worth saying that the majority of the business community wanted the PASO de Juntos to be won by the mayor of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. They expected that the head-to-head would be between Larreta and Sergio Massa, an alchemy that perhaps would have complicated the possibility of Javier Milei’s access to power more than today.
Several of the post-Macrismo businessmen liked the incorporation of Carlos Melconian as Bullrich’s economic translator, but they doubt that the figure of today’s economist from the Mediterranean Foundation has any real effect on voters who are not part of the Red Circle.
