Just three days after the lists close, the vice president Cristina Kirchner received this Wednesday in the Senate Juan Manzur in a meeting that unleashed all kinds of rumors about a hypothetical offer of a vice-presidential candidacy for the Tucuman governor.

“The strength of the interior unites us. Juan Manzur President”say the signs with white letters on a blue background, which papered some of the main arteries of downtown Buenos Aires such as Avenida de Mayo and Belgrano.
Days ago, the Tucuman had ventilated in journalistic statements that he had intentions of running: “I’m looking forward to applying”.
