Overview
- Allies of Mendoza governor Alfredo Cornejo will launch the Deliberar foundation on Monday in a virtual rollout led by Lucas Clark.
- The new think tank seeks to build a distinct Radical Civic Union identity in the city and to displace the imprint of Martín Lousteau and Emiliano Yacobitti.
- Deliberar will draft a city agenda that adapts Cornejo’s Mendoza policies on security and public space, paired with outreach across the 15 Buenos Aires comunas.
- The operation is not naming a mayoral candidate now and instead aims to rebuild party presence and win back radicals who shifted to PRO or to the libertarian LLA.
- Cornejo’s openness to work with President Javier Milei’s party, after joining the national Consejo de Mayo, could pressure Mayor Jorge Macri and the PRO in their long-held stronghold.
