With the arrival of María Fernanda Raverta to the leadership of ANSES -after the request for resignation of Alejandro Vanoli-, the Kirchner group La Cámpora finished defining a powerful participation in the government of Alberto Fernández. And he also put a transcendental foot in the administration of Axel Kicillof, with the appointment as Minister of Development of the Community of Andrés "Cuervo" Larroque, political delegate of Máximo Kirchner.

Reviewing the current participation of the K group, there are many places of power and cash management that it has reached in the national government. But first, two political elements must be analyzed: one, the activity and closeness that Eduardo "Wado" De Pedro has along with Alberto Fernández , who appointed him as Interior Minister for his administration.
De Pedro participates in almost all the activities of the President and is sitting next to him, in each of the press conferences where the head of state communicated the details of the quarantine, from the day of its application to the announcement of phase 3 : Always next to Fernández was his chief of staff, Santiago Cafiero, and De Pedro, who carries out many tasks that complement those of Cafiero, such as the relationship with the governors of the entire country.
But in addition to De Pedro's relationship of institutional edging, Máximo Kirchner always appears . The current head of the bench of national deputies of the Frente de Todos is a voice to which Alberto always resorts, in addition to inviting him to many of the teleconferences that he maintains, not only with legislators but with the mayors of the province of Buenos Aires, where Máximo and La Cámpora exert their influence. Cristina's son maintains daily dialogue with the communal chiefs of the conurbano, to which Fernández also dedicates personalized attention.
It was precisely Máximo who contributed the name of Fernanda Raverta for the leadership of the ANSES instead of the ejected Vanoli , who no longer had the approval of Cristina Kirchner, who had asked for his departure, in addition to also having the annoyances of the President after the terrible implementation of the first day of collection of retirees and pensioners in banks, on April 3, shortly after the quarantine began.
Thus, La Cámpora's influence extends to four fundamental "boxes" of the national administration:
- ANSES: Fernanda Raverta replaced Alejandro Vanoli in the National Social Security Administration , where group K already had the agency's general secretary, Santiago Fraschina. But in addition, there he has the control of three fundamental secretariats for the management of that powerful administration, which allows him to be appointed to positions and arrive throughout the country.

These are benefits that the UDAI manages, the Integral Attention Units that allow the political management of the entire territory and where, since the return of Peronism to power, there was a fight between La Cámpora and the mayors for imposing people there from their campus, fight that the group of Maximo won. Then there is the Legal Secretariat where the payment of the judicial sentences is implemented, a real millionaire, and finally, the administration, the General Administrative Management , which controls all the management of the agency's accounts.
- AIRLINES. La Cámpora already had the management of the flag carrier with Mariano Recalde , during the presidency of Cristina Kirchner. Now, he has it again with Pablo Ceriani as the owner of the company, who was the second in the Recalde management. The macrista management, upon arriving at Aerolineas, battled to remove numerous kirchnerista political cadres who were in that company. Now, several of them have returned to the airline and returned it to La Cámpora.
- YPF. Alberto Fernández chose the economist Guillermo Nielsen as head of Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales, but the structure is managed by the Kirchner group, from which the secretary of Finance of Roberto Lavagna, in the management of Néstor Kirchner, is strongly criticized. The fundamental man in this scheme is the pampa from Santiago "Patucho" Álvarez , who during Kirchnerism held the positions of manager of Public TV and who was also director of Télam. Now, from the communication area, he exercises political control of the state company on behalf of La Cámpora.
- PAMI. The social work of retirees is led by Luana Volnovich , who was until assuming there, a national deputy specialized in pension issues. PAMI is the largest social work in Argentina, with 5 million members. Working there allows a fundamental national reach for a political organization such as the camper who has territorial work throughout the country, which allows adding influence and power.

To this review of these four national bastions, plus the power and influence of Máximo Kirchner and Wado De Pedro, we must add the novelty that Andrés "Cuervo" Larroque assumed as minister of Axel Kicillof , in the portfolio of Community Development, previously occupied by Fernanda Raverta.

Thus, Máximo's political lieutenant occupies a ministerial position alongside Kicillof, who until now had resisted the inclusion in his cabinet of names that were not of his strict desire. Only Cristina Kirchner imposed names on Axel, such as Sergio Berni (Security) and Julio Alak (Justice and Human Rights).
Now La Cámpora achieved it, with the inclusion of a weighty leader, no less than the general secretary of the group and a man of strict confidence of Máximo K.,
