Cristina Kirchner's
absence from
the CGT on Loyalty Day was felt inside the Front of All.
The leaders most loyal to President
Alberto Fernández
wanted the vice president and the head of state to show themselves together again in the virtual relaunch of the ruling coalition, although they publicly minimized the failure.
Next Tuesday, finally, the Fernándezes
could once again share an act
.
The anniversary is twofold.
It is a year since the 2019 presidential elections, but also - more relevant to the ruling liturgy -
a decade since the death of Néstor Kirchner
.
Close to the President they confirm the plans, in their own way.
"It is likely,
it is not yet defined,
" they pointed out late Tuesday night about a possible joint act of the President and the vice president.
Hours later, this Wednesday, Fernández gave more details and anticipated that he hopes to install the statue of Néstor Kirchner that decorated the esplanade of the General Secretariat of Unasur, north of Quito until 2019, when President
Lenín Moreno
decided to remove it at the request of a resolution of the Ecuadorian National Assembly.
"We
recovered the statue of Néstor
and we hope to install it in the CCK on October 27 and that it will remain there forever," Fernández said in statements to El Uncover.
The President works with former Colombian President
Ernesto Samper
on the relaunch of Unasur.
However, he avoided confirming whether the former president would participate in the event.
The mystery in the ruling party is due in part to the fact that they want to avoid another refusal by the vice president, who has not yet confirmed her participation.
The
last time
the head of state and the vice were together and in public was in August during the announcement
of the debt restructuring
at the Casa Rosada Museum.
That was
Cristina
Kirchner's
only visit
to the Casa Rosada since December 10.
A friend in common of the President and the vice president
relativizes the possibility
that the former president participates in the activities.
“I have
no expectation
that Cristina is part of a collective act.
It is a very sensitive subject for her.
Every year he secludes himself in the south, goes to the Mausoleum
and spends it with his family ”, he explained.
The vice did not travel to Santa Cruz since the beginning of the pandemic.
Officials sources maintain that the steps to repatriate the statue were in the hands of
Matías Capeluto
, in charge of the
Casa Patria Grande Néstor Kirchner
, an official of the general secretariat of the presidency and with arrival to the vice president.
The statue, which had an estimated cost of 114,000 dollars, is the work of the sculptor
Miguel Gerónimo Villalba
.
The artist confirmed to the neighborhood media Saavedra online that the statue, which arrived two weeks ago in Buenos Aires, is in perfect condition and that it
received a bronze maintenance
to restore it, before its installation in the CCK.
The new mural of the Casa Patria Grande NK
Another possibility that was being considered in the Casa Rosada was that the President and the vice president would coincide in the
reopening of the mural
in the imposing mansion of Carlos Pellegrini and Juncal, from the early 20th century, where Kirchner planned to install his office as head of the UNASUR, a wish that was truncated by his surprise death.
On October 26, 2011, the day that Kirchner would have turned 61, the then president inaugurated the Casa Patria Grande that bears her husband's name, in the company of two close leaders, the Uruguayan
José Mujica
and the Paraguayan
Fernando Lugo
.
The brand new institution was destined "to promote the integration of the Latin American peoples."
The body, which depended on the general secretariat of the Presidency, was in charge of the leader of La Cámpora Pablo Vilas.
There, in the mansion that was previously part of the inventory of the Ministry of Defense, an allusive pop mural with the images of Kirchner and Cristina was discovered, in the center, surrounded by his peers from the region: the Brazilian
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
, the Ecuadorian
Rafael Correa
, the Bolivian
Evo Morales
, and the Venezuelan
Hugo Chávez
;
with the heroes and liberators of America in the background.
During
Mauricio Macri's administration
, the house passed into the orbit of the Ministry of Culture and was renamed
Casa Creativa del Sur
.
The mural was covered by one mounted on a durlock with colored geometric lines and, inside, a painting by Néstor Kirchner was taken down.
At the beginning of the administration, the Minister of Culture
Tristán Bauer
visited the house and announced that the old mural would be restored.
However, the building returned to the orbit of the General Secretariat and it was decided that it would be replaced by a new model.
The official argument is that the mural
is damaged and irretrievable
, but it was also announced that some highly resisted figures from other sectors of politics would disappear.
Capeluto, who chaired the Red for Buenos Aires party, was vice president of the Urbe Foundation and is also a regular at the Puebla Group's virtual meetings, working on a 10-day virtual tribute to Néstor Kirchner.
In the Casa Patria grande NK, the president presented weeks ago
"The man who changed everything"
, the book that collects testimonies about the former president, and that was compiled by the Peronist leader and cultural producer
Jorge “Topo” Devoto
, who was also working on the organization of more activities to celebrate the anniversary.
The Cámpora ruled out the realization of a virtual act.
However, from the official accounts of the Frente de Todos in social networks they publish from Sunday until Tuesday a speech by the former president per day.
The organization headed by Máximo Kirchner publishes illustrations of artists who paid tribute to the former president in its accounts.
