Subheadline:Popular journalist Walter Queijeiro, known for his ‘descending kick’ on Fútbol para todos, extends his commitment to politics with La Libertad Avanza.
Heavyweight journalist Walter Queijeiro, renowned for his visibility in sports reporting and his signature "descending kick" on Fox Sports‘ Fútbol para todos, has extended his political influence beyond the soccer pitch. The 50-year-old has renewed his contract with IP Noticias, committing to 2025, a year that also sees him solidifying his political ties with La Libertad Avanza (LLA), the party of Javier Milei.
Queijeiro’s political journey is no walk in the park. After over a decade in the game, he visited the Casa Rosada this past Friday, rubbing shoulders with Nahuel Sotelo, our current Secretary of Culto and Civilización, and Sebastián Pareja, both key players in LLA’s provincial strategy. The visit was a quiet nod to Queijeiro’s hometown, Quilmes, where he’s made quite the impression as a local politician.
The road to political recognition hasn’t been smooth for Queijeiro. He’s weathered losses in the race for Quilmes’ mayoral seat, both in 2021, running on Patricia Bullrich’s ticket, and in 2019, as part of Juntos por el Cambio. But 2013 was a different story.Queijeiro’s star was on the rise when he topped the charts for Quilmes’ concejales, leading the Frente Renovador of Sergio Massa to victory in the province. With 97,571 votes, he snatched a whopping 29.57%, putting him eight points ahead of Kirchnerism.
Now, elections are set to take a new turn with a singular, paper-based ballot for national and provincial positions. This change brings electoral hope to Queijeiro, who could see new opportunities with his high social media following – 1.2 million followers on Twitter and 200,000 on Instagram.
In 2023, Buenos Aires’ voters will cast their ballots in an election that breaks with the past. Divided into eight electoral sections, each political force must present a unique ‘face’ in each section, making whoever’s at the top a critical differentiator. Could Queijeiro’s star power be the game-changer?
Gov. Axel Kicillof has until April to decide which electoral format his province will adopt. Simultaneous elections or concurrent voting are both on the table, each with its own set of positives and challenges. Meanwhile, the battle lines are being drawn, and Walter Queijeiro is ready to kick off his next political adventure, one that might just redefine provincial elections as we know them.
