María Emilia Soria gubernatorial candidacy in Río Negro

Overview

María Emilia Soria, the mayor of General Roca, has officially launched her candidacy for governor of Río Negro under the slogan ‘Vamos Río Negro’. Her campaign emphasizes the need for political unity and seeks to build a collective movement against the current national government.

Her bid has highlighted significant internal friction within regional Peronism. In the early stages of her announcement, former legislator Ana Piccinini criticized National Senator Martín Soria, holding both him and María Emilia Soria responsible for the paralysis of roadworks on National Routes 22 and 151.

As the campaign progresses, Soria is working to consolidate support among approximately 3,000 attendees at recent events, while facing the challenge of reconciling with factions that have previously felt excluded by the Soria family’s political influence. Her candidacy is viewed as an effort to organize the political landscape and challenge the leadership of Alberto Weretilneck.
