Juntos por el Cambio’s internal battle for the opposition coalition’s presidential nomination has only just kicked off, but things are already growing tense.

As campaigning for the Casa Rosada began in earnest this week, shots were fired by both of the coalition’s Casa Rosada hopefuls at their rival.

Seeking to differentiate himself from his ‘hawk-ish’ rival, Buenos Aires City Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta accused former security minister Patricia Bullrich of seeking to impose the same “failed” model introduced by former president Mauricio Macri upon his arrival in office in 2015.

"Patricia Bullrich's model is like Macri's, and it failed," declared the City mayor emphatically, drawing parallels between her ambitions and other failed political projects.
