Valdés Joins Provincias Unidas, Expanding Governors’ Front Ahead of Corrientes Vote

The move underscores a governors-led bid to cement a centrist, federal option reshaping October races.

Overview

  • At a Corrientes rally closing his brother Juan Pablo Valdés’s campaign, Governor Gustavo Valdés formally announced his incorporation into the Provincias Unidas coalition.
  • The event featured governors Maximiliano Pullaro, Ignacio Torres, Carlos Sadir and ex-governor Juan Schiaretti, signaling coordinated intervention by the bloc in the province’s election.
  • In Córdoba, campaign chief Alejandra Vigo said Juan Schiaretti leads the Provincias Unidas list for October, positioning the new front as a transversal alternative to the old Hacemos label.
  • The coalition’s advance is intensifying strains within the UCR in Córdoba, with local leaders and intendentes weighing alignments with Provincias Unidas versus rival alliances.
  • In Catamarca, the UCR–Movilización pact “Somos Provincias Unidas” presented candidates Luis Fadel and Fernando Navarro, who pressed an anti-corruption platform and called for federalizing corruption offenses.
