Elisa Carrió has been in quarantine for more than 130 days. He had started with Lent at the end of February and with the appearance of the coronavirus in the country, he joined a “strict” isolation in his Exaltación de la Cruz house, with two of his children and custodians. Diabetic, hypertensive and with heart problems, she assures that in these months she did not even go out to the town of Capilla and that she will not do so until September. He watches documentaries on Netflix and YouTube -the latest on Celts and the Ottoman Empire- and confirms that he is running from the situation , although in recent days he went out to support Mauricio Macri and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. Also to mark limits and warnings. His retirement entered another phase, with less withdrawal, given the new increase in the confrontation with Kirchnerism and the first dabbling in the face of the upcoming electoral dispute.
From his quarantine he transmitted "concern" as a reason for the reappearance on the political stage and the endorsement of the leaders of Together for Change, with buts on each issue. He signed the statement in support of Macri for the progress of the investigation into the alleged illegal espionage during his government, although he returned to his rejection of Gustavo Arribas and Silvia Majdalani - he contested his appointment as head of the AFI for his link with Francisco Larcher - and the stance of the Civic Coalition years ago of dissolving intelligence agencies . He had resisted the attempted expropriation of the Vicentin cereal company, although he passed bills for Gustavo Nardelli, whom he resisted as a candidate for the PRO in Santa Fe. He accompanied the first months of isolation, although in this phase he claimed "that it be the last great effort" and that the City does not decide conditioned by the Nation and the province of Buenos Aires.
Regarding the murder of Fabián Gutiérrez, ex-secretary of Cristina Kirchner, for the moment he kept silent . Mariana Zuvic, one of Carrió's trusted leaders, assured that Gutiérrez was "the one who suffered the most and harmed" the vice president. The deputy and Maximiliano Ferraro, head of the Civic Coalition, signed the document -titled "A crime of extreme institutional gravity- in which Together for Change asked that the investigation go to federal Justice, questioned by Alberto Fernández.
Carrió had almost no face-to-face meetings with political leaders. Buenos Aires legislator Facundo Del Gaiso visited her to bring her medications. She also did not use the Zoom application, although she evaluates starting to do so. On the phone she spoke with Macri -the talk spread and then at least once more-, with Rodríguez Larreta and maintains frequent contact with referents of the Civic Coalition. “They are complex situations and he tries to separate the chaff from the wheat. He understands the management needs of the pandemic, but we must never stop saying things, "said one of his interlocutors about their positions. That claim addressed to the head of the Buenos Aires Government included another ambivalence.
Carrió considers that Rodríguez Larreta "is being extorted" for the eventual removal of the City from co-participation, an objective of Alberto Fernández at the beginning of the year and then stopped, and warned that he will support him in that dispute but with the requirement that he express more He emphasizes his differences with the Front of All and especially with Kirchnerism, the main target of the Civic Coalition. His latest public criticism was directed at Axel Kicillof. “With quarantine you have to have an exit perspective. If the cases drop in the City and not in the Province, what will Horacio do? ", Left the question installed for the 17.
There is also a reproach for decision spaces. The CC participates in the Let's Go Together table in Capital and the coordination in the Legislature, but sits outside the small table in which Rodríguez Larreta makes the main decisions. Carrió made it clear that, recently withdrawn from the Chamber of Deputies, she will not seek to be a candidate next year. With another but: " Unless it is necessary , if Kirchnerism comes for everything." It will depend, they say in their environment, on how the confrontation with the Government and the movements in Together for Change continue. Seven of the deputies, half of the block, will expire the mandate. Carrió dismissed the versions that he could run outside the opposition coalition: "It is the ruling party that wants to split us."
In the talks with Macri there were tense moments. He considered his secretary Darío Nieto a "parsley" in the case for illegal espionage, but he insisted: "I always said that the AFI had to be ended ." Before the removal of the judge Federico Villena, Carrió moved to find out who was taking the case and was satisfied with what they told him about Juan Pablo Auge at the Bar Association of La Plata: "He is a serious person." He would prefer Macri not to be a candidate next year, although he believes that a sector of the government will try to push him. Regarding the positioning, he coincides with Rodríguez Larreta in leaving the ends and placing himself in the center. "But you always have to say things," he warns. Again.
