After crossings and accusations, several through the media, the relationship started. It is good. Very good maybe. However, one of the two believes that the time for separation has come . Not now. But, if there are no major changes, he will raise it in two weeks . Horacio Rodríguez Larreta believes that the situation of the coronavirus in the City is sufficiently different from the Province of Buenos Aires to face a more aggressive opening plan. Discounts that Axel Kicillof will maintain his more conservative posture and will have to take distance.
As when the care of children is prioritized in a marriage, the head of the Buenos Aires Government and the Buenosairean governor found in the management of the pandemic in the AMBA a common point where to concentrate efforts and encapsulate it outside the crack. And beyond some "external" sizzle -an official below them who questions the counterpart-, each decision they made was agreed upon, with the accompaniment of the couple's tutor, Dr. Alberto Fernández.
"Really, there is no conspiracy , the talks are much more natural than you may think - by the journalists - or the people. It is not that we arrived and Alberto and Axel prepared something to harm us. Of course we discussed, but then the things are agreed, " a high source from the City summarizes for Clarín .
Those agreements do not imply homogeneity. As they said in public from the two administrations, the consensus can lead - and in fact it happens - differences . Two clear examples are the stigmatized runners and the boys' recreational outings, allowed in Capital and prohibited on the other side of General Paz.
Divorce, then, could take place within a cordial framework. Separation by mutual agreement. It will be seen. "Our idea is to accompany these 15 days, not only because of the relationship with Axel, but also to see if our numbers are consolidated. But we are clearly stabilized , between 1,000 and 1,200 cases per day, and the Province is much more complicated, up or around the 4,000 ", they extend in the Buenosairean Government.
What is Coronavirus? How is it spread and what are its symptoms?
Watch the specialAnd they continue: "The health system is also relatively controlled , with 60% average occupancy of intensive care beds. A little more complicated, perhaps, the private than the public. Put the number of cases on the rise and we go to 62%, 65 %, 68%, 70% ... We still have margin. "
Already for the ninth extension of the isolation to be announced this Friday, the Buenos Aires Government evaluated some more openings . For example, industries. They are the reverse case of runners : they are much more flexible in the Province than in the City. Thursday's record and political talk with the President would have influenced, a priori, to keep everything as it is. There is shared concern about social gatherings: After obsessing over public transportation, it is now speculated that the big problem would be in private gatherings.
The opening plan and the political factor
At the beginning of July, the Buenosairean government let transcend a draft of its plan of flexibilizations. It consisted of 12 stages, all providing for staggered openings. The first one takes place this weekend. The next 11 will be announced, Clarín insisted from the City, "according to health numbers . "
The plan ranges from allowing rides to the elderly and opening shops in places of greater traffic in the short term, to ending with the authorization of massive public events -football, recitals-. Theaters, cinemas, restaurants would enter the middle. All, or almost, with a new normality adapted to social distancing and hygiene protocols, among other parameters.
Beyond the good predisposition shown today by both administrations, some internal noises anticipate that, if it takes place, perhaps the divorce will not materialize in such friendly terms. As Clarín recounted , a sector of the Buenos Aires Kirchnerism believes that Larreta is emerging too well-or at least better than Alberto Fernández and Kicillof-from a very serious health and economic situation, also in the City. Therefore, by way of summary, they demand that the President stop calling the head of government "friend". They worry that Larreta will measure well among K voters and envision him as a potential rival for 2023.
The political doubt is latent. If the trends continue, the City is heading for an exit and the Conurbano explodes -more- of cases, will Kicillof tolerate the triumphant photo of his neighbor? Relationship connoisseurs say couples just get to know each other when they separate.
