The Government aspires that the act of the Day of Loyalty is much more than a Peronist liturgy.
In the Cabinet of
Alberto Fernández
and in the Casa Rosada they bet that the act in the CGT and the virtual mobilization will become the
relaunch of the Frente de Todos
, the electoral architecture with which Peronism managed to unify itself to return to power.
“Although we do not want to think about it, we are in October: it is the beginning of the electoral year.
The elections are 12 months away, ”recalls an official very close to Fernández.
In the ruling party they seek to give an answer to the opposition's banners, but above all they intend to recover the mystique lost by the crisis, the pandemic and the unforced errors of the management, which included significant internal members in the coalition.
"It is necessary to
store
", they affirm in all the sectors of the Executive.
A year ago, in La Pampa, the now President and the vice president,
Cristina Kirchner
, staged a staging that showed the heterogeneity of the assembly.
"The Front of All is a powerful electoral brand that we have to put back into value," says an official with political filming.
They remember that it was precisely the projection of a more plural spectrum than Kirchnerism, away from sectarianism and embodied in Fernández that allowed the ruling party to come to power.
In the middle of the versions that interpreted the Peronist commemoration as a strengthening of the presidential figure, the leaders most loyal to Fernández, who participated in the assembly of the act in the CGT, swear that they want the presence of the vice president, who has not yet was confirmed.
"We want it to be the way it is, because the FdT is with it, too," they warn, while recalling that the head of state recognizes himself as a "forward-facing".
They argue that the electoral contest over the next few months will strain the ties between the ruling party and the opposition.
"That - polarization - somehow is going to order us," they explain in the Executive.
The empirical demonstration of this hypothesis was the media reappearance of former president
Mauricio Macri
, which was widely celebrated in the ruling party;
a balm in the middle of the dollar's rise.
"The figure of Macri is very cohesive, it was great for us to speak, not only because of what he said - which is incredible - but because it is a reminder," adds a member of the Cabinet.
They emphasize that it was the rejection of Macri that allowed the unity between the different factions of the ruling party to be reflected and
heal wounds
that seemed to never
heal
.
The founder of the PRO, in addition - according to the polls they handle in the ruling party - retains a very high negative image.
Heterogeneous.

Despite the antimacrist spirit, there are several ministers who repeat that "
with Macri it is not enough
" either to forge an electoral proposal that ensures victory or to govern.
"We must build something bigger than Peronism and continue to expand the Frente de Todos," the Minister of Works
Gabriel Katopodis
insisted on Friday
in statements to Futurock
.
The pandemic postponed plans to “institutionalize” the Frente de Todos so that it would have a party dynamic and debate indoors.
As
Clarín
pointed out, the Tuesday table - which later were Wednesdays - with the most representative referents of the space - the
President, Máximo Kirchner, Sergio Massa, Eduardo de Pedro
and the PJ mayors - lost vigor.
There are several leaders of the PJ who demand that the ministers raise their profile and show more audacity at the communicational level, but also politically.
The first to demand more chivalry from the ministers was Chief of Staff
Santiago Cafiero in a zoom
that marked the beginning of the week with worse social and economic indicators for the ruling party (poverty, activity and employment).
"This is for the brave. We must go out to defend the Government for what we did in 10 months of administration and 7 of the pandemic, which is a lot. If we strengthen the
triangle of political unity of the FdT, we have the vaccine and the economic recovery
is consolidated We are going to get to October well, "said the President's alter ego.
Other ministers point out that the cohesion of the ruling party will be essential to go through a long crisis, which will require political articulation and explanations.
The Minister of Economy Martín Guzmán has already begun to add mileage.
This Friday he toured works in Almirante Brown with his pair of Public Works;
the local mayor,
Mariano Cascallares;
and that of Hurlingham,
Juan Zabaleta
, the leader of the Conurbano closest to the President.
A few weeks ago, Zabaleta and Katopodis convinced Fernández that after the official acts he attends with ministers, he will participate in lunches with the mayors of the area. The experiment - patented by
Néstor Kirchner
- was repeated in Areco and Ezeiza. "The mayors have the social thermometer and the ability to organize the militancy," they recall in the Buenos Aires PJ.
