Blessed

On May 13, 2019, five days before Cristina Kirchner published on her social networks the video "In the week of May, reflections and decisions", with which she announced the then surprising candidacy for President of Alberto Fernández, the young economist Martín Maximiliano Guzmán was in Rome. And he assured, during a reserved meeting in the Vatican, that he was preparing to be the Minister of Economy of the future Peronist government that would win the elections that year in Argentina. There, Pope Francis was listening carefully. Now, with Guzmán transformed into the minister figure of the Cabinet (paradoxical while the crisis of the Argentine economy is fierce), there are many who are assigned both to have brought the economist before the Supreme Pontiff and the relationship and knowledge with the current president Alberto Ángel Fernández. Few remember that, in 2013, he gave talks on Mercosur together with Carlos "Carli" Bianco, today head of the Kicillof Cabinet and then, in the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Foreign Ministry in the Christian administration.The champion's friends ...

How did Guzmán get to the Vatican? The economist from La Plata began to frequent the members of GESTAR; an economic-political nucleus that supplied the Justicialista Party with letters, among which ex-ANSES chief Diego Bossio stood out. There, Mauricio Mazzón, son of the famous Peronist operator Juan Carlos “Chueco” Mazzón, was also reviewing . “Mauri” caught up with Guzmán and introduced him to Martín Navarro, the eldest son of Fernando “Chino” Navarro, head of the Evita Movement. Martín Navarro was part of the Evita economic table and is the one who begins the journey to Rome when Joseph Eugene Stiglitz, economist and Nobel Prize-winning American professor, wants to meet the Pope. Martín Navarro talks to Enrique Palmeyro, from Scholas Ocurrentes, and they all land there at the Fiumicino airport. Guzmán was already a Stiglitz collaborator and ends up being key in Francisco's relationship with the Nobel Stiglitz. I'll fly ...

Hi, I'm Cristina

Guzmán already lived in New York, he advised J. Stiglitz, while he did not neglect his relationship with the Peronist cadres and leaders, nor did he stop following the campaign of his Gymnastics and Fencing in La Plata. He took such good care of the link with Peronism that, in 2017, he entered the historic Rodríguez Peña 80 building , a petit hotel in Buenos Aires where the Patria Institute, the K bunker since CFK left power, has its headquarters. There, Guzmán began to frequent Cristina, who introduced him to Alberto Fernández , who had then returned to the former president's ring. There is another version in "albertismo": some say that already assembled the campaign bunker of the last election in some offices on Mexico Street, it is Matías Kulfas who introduces Alberto to the returned economist. A campaign trip to Mexico City takes place there, for a meeting between Fernández and López Obrador, and the relationship between the two is consolidated. To the versions, it is added that Matías Lammens, a friend of Guzmán, is the one who brings the current Minister of Economy closer. All uploaded to the victor's car ...

Step by Step

On the opposition side, the reappearance of Elisa María Avelina Carrió caused an itch in those who bet on the Horacio Rodríguez Larreta 2023 plan . It is that the possibility that both the former deputy and Mauricio Macri may be candidates in the parliamentary election next year, bristled those who want a less troubled path within Together for Change. For this reason, this week, in a zoom of life leaders, the species circulated: "If Carrió wants to be a candidate for national deputy, prepare for a STEP against María Eugenia!" , She launched an important mayor who supports the former governor Vidal. The trouble would be if Macri -or Patricia Bullrich- also decided to compete for a deputation but for the City of Buenos Aires. Could there be primaries in the two main districts by the opposition coalition? To rent balconies ...
