Alberto Fernández will not give the OK but, without an official wink, the act of October 17 for the 75 years since the appearance of Peronism advances to have, in 

with a caravan that travels through different cities of the country.

A large PJ table designs the detail of the show that the president will lead from the Felipe Vallese room of the CGT on Azopardo street, waiting for Cristina Kirchner to confirm her presence.

On the other hand, although some actors repeat themselves,

that the trucker leader Hugo Moyano and Jorge Ferraresi, mayor of Avellaneda, proposed to Fernández on Tuesday at a meeting they had at Casa Rosada.

They speak of a mobilization in cars, buses and trucks with "protection measures" that leaves some parts of the suburbs and converges, without a central act, in putos of the Federal Capital.

A kind of 

of the spontaneous mobilizations of October 17, 1945.

From Casa Rosada they refuse to validate even if the organizers make promises about a caravan that they call "aseptic", that is, with the entire distancing and prevention protocol for the contagion of COVID-19

Santiago Cafiero, the Chief of Cabinet, warns that the government's position is to avoid crowds and, in parallel, questions the activity of the opposition by calling for concentrations in which prevention measures are not complied with.

This is the position reinforced, in turn, by Miguel Cuberos, undersecretary of Political Affairs:

Cuberos shares the organization table with other leaders such as Ferraresi, Cegetista Héctor Daer, Minister Nicolás Trotta, Fernanda Raverta of ANSeS, Emilio Pérsico of the Evita Movement and, among others, Raúl Pérez, leader of Sergio Massa's Renovation Front.

It was Daer, almost 2 months ago, who approached Fernández with the proposal for a virtual act from the CGT that would be broadcast in squares and parks throughout the country.

They spoke of 1000 seats and 1 million participants. 

Fernández gave him the OK but asked for some changes, the most important that there are no face-to-face gatherings because that would go against the official message that invites you to take care of yourself, especially now in the midst of the critical peak that the pandemic registers in the interior of the country.

The mobilization of 12-O, which for the government had the same "dispersed" identity and "limited" volume as other opposition marches, generated some reactions in sectors of the ruling party, which was first reflected in the countermarches of that day to the Quinta de Olivos and Cristina Kirchner's house, at the same time that it boosted the demand for some spaces to "go out to the streets."

"It is ridiculous to say that Peronism lost the street: the truth is, we don't want to go out because we take care of ourselves

say from Casa Rosada.

This is not the first time it has happened.

Fernández has been listening for months to requests to mobilize in favor of the government and rejects them all.

It also frustrated a mobilization that was planned when the Buenos Aires police uprising took place.

The government asks, at this time, that

, although, in a low voice, they admit that at this point it seems impossible that a public act should not take place somewhere in the country.

Meanwhile, the meeting in the CGT that Fernández will lead, possibly with Cristina, along with some governors and union leaders, as well as referents of social movements and leaders such as Máximo Kirchner and Sergio Massa, is confirmed.
