'Daniel Scioli must be the next president', says Insaurralde

The picture that Martín Insaurralde posted in Twitter after expressing his support to the governor''s candidacy for president.

Mayor of the Lomas de Zamora district Martín Insaurralde has expressed his support to Buenos Aires province governor Daniel Scioli ahead of October’s presidential run.

After months of political expectations about his decision to either walk along with the ruling Victor Front (FpV) party and back Scioli’s candidacy or with the Renewal Front (RF) of Sergio Massa, Insaurralde seems to have finally made up his mind and confirmed his FpV endorsement.

“I am convinced, the next President of the Nation must be Daniel Scioli,” the mayor said today in his Twitter and Facebook accounts also posting a picture in which he appears chatting with the governor.

"I know Daniel Scioli is prepared to be the President the country needs in the coming stage", Insaurralde also said.

“I always said that in March I was going to make a declaration about the presidential elections. Facing their proximity, I consider appropriate to be convincing. I am convinced that the next President of the Nation must be Daniel Scioli. I have known Daniel for many years. I know he is prepared to be President. I recognized that I have had some differences with him and with his team over some one-off problems (regarding) the Buenos Aires province administration. The logical and positive tension between a mayor of one of the largest districts of the Province and its Governor. In such instances, I was able to express my opinions and he, with humility, listened to me and had a proactive attitude to resolve each of those problems. Daniel Scioli is the President the country needs for the coming stage. Which is not to start all over. I want Argentineans to vote in favour. In favour of national unity, political sovereignty, economic independence and social justice.”
