After confirming the formula integrated by Eduardo ‘Wado’ de Pedro and Juan Manzur for the Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory elections (PASO), Carlos Maslatón analyzed the candidates in a television program and regretted the absence of Sergio Massa. According to the liberal economist, the Unión por la Patria strategy strengthens the opposition and even stated that a victory of Together for Change in the first round would be one of the possible scenarios in October.
Maslaton gave his verdict in the context of the program Hard to tametransmitted by C5Nafter being consulted by the Wado-Manzur formula.
“I don’t think it’s the best formula. I thought that the best candidate was Sergio Massacombined with one of the two of them”, opined the referent of liberalism.
“That formula has a problem, which greatly strengthens Horacio ‘Sombrilla’ Larreta”warned Maslaton.

Next, the economist explained the reasons for his claims. “I tell you why: ‘Umbrella’ Larreta has a lot of votes in common with Massa, people who can vote for one or the other”expressed on the screen of C5N.
“So when Massa is not there, he can transfer votes to Larreta”he reasoned.
