description This article will focus on a process that, slowly but persistently, has altered one of the dimensions of the Argentine national  political competition. It refers to the «porteñización » of the political elites that compete for high office, especially for the  presidency, and to the loss of relevance of provincial governors in the political system. It is a factor little commented on by academic production, but it is a fact that in the years after the constitutional reform of 1994, the candidates for the presidency  have had mostly come from the city of Buenos Aires or from their surrounding area, and that being a provincial governor has  ceased to be a privileged road to the presidency. At least at the level of the political elites, Argentine politics seems almost  inexorably «metropolicized ».

At least at the level of the political elites, Argentine politics seems almost  inexorably «metropolicized ».  Este artículo hará foco en un proceso que, lenta pero persistentemente, ha ido cambiando una de las dimensiones de la  competencia política nacional. Se refiere a la «porteñización » de las elites políticas que compiten electoralmente por los altos  cargos nacionales, sobre todo por la presidencia, y a la pérdida de relevancia de gobernadores provinciales en la competencia.  Es un factor poco comentado en la producción académica, pero es un hecho que en los años posteriores a la reforma constitucional de 1994 los candidatos y candidatas a la presidencia han tenido un perfil más homogéneamente porteño, y que  ha habido una pérdida de peso político de la posición de gobernadores y gobernadoras de provincias del interior como vía de acceso a la más alta magistratura.  Por lo menos a nivel de las elites políticas competencia, la política argentina parece casi inexorablemente porteñizada.
