The vice president sends signals of her differences with the Government. Silences and absences, like the one on the 17th. She did not confirm if she is going to the event on Tuesday for the anniversary of her husband's death.

Slept.

He woke up suddenly.

Died.

On October 27, 2010,

Néstor Kirchner

passed away

.

Tuesday marks the tenth anniversary of that morning of the census and holiday in which Argentine politics changed.

The event became a kind of

"state policy"

for the current government.

The Kirchners are back in power after four years in the legislative "plain."

The national civil service and the leadership of the Justicialista Party (PJ) in their multiple internal expressions prepare various tributes to remember the former president.

The event has a special symbolism for the Presidency of the Nation.

It will take place amid the maximum tension in the political relationship between

Alberto Fernández

and his vice,

Cristina Fernández,

Kirchner's widow.

The internal discussion between the Head of State and the head of the Senate never went through a moment like the current one.

The dialogue between the duo that leads the Government and the Frente de Todos would be reduced to a minimum if in recent days they spoke to each other, say official sources and Peronists.

She is angry with him and he and his most trusted advisers are annoyed with her and the officials who respond to her and move forward with an agenda that they consider "parallel" to that of Casa Rosada, and therefore also harmful to the President.

They did not fight to the point of breaking their alliance and it is very likely that they will never do so again.

But the ten sources of the ruling party consulted by Clarín coincide: President and vice-president do not agree on how the course of the national administration is designed and executed.

The clashes and surprises and crossed operations between "Cristinismo" and the leadership related to Fernández (Alberto) are increasingly bloody and transcend like never before.

At least until the closing of this article, Fernández (Cristina) did not even confirm to the authorities whether or not he will attend the main event that the Government is preparing to remember Néstor Kirchner.

The vice is encouraged in talks with trusted leaders in monologues that are very critical of the management -which is also hers-.

More and more "Cristinistas" are encouraged to criticize the President.

Clarín was able to know, thanks to the reconstruction made by PJ-K sources, that Fernández (Cristina), in his own way, and with his spicy tongue when he speaks in private, criticizes almost the entire Cabinet, including the head of ministers,

Santiago Cafiero,

and speaks in a negative sense of Fernández (Alberto).

Before third parties, she would even point out, by way of criticism and always according to her analysis, that he is overweight, as if that hypothesis of the presidential physicist had a correlation in the effectiveness of the execution of state actions in a country in crisis .

On October 27, the Government will install in the absolute proximity of the imposing building of the Néstor Kirchner Cultural Center (CCK) a statue that recreates the figure of Néstor Kirchner, and that once stood at the headquarters of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR ), in Ecuador.

It was removed from that original site at the impulse of the current president of that country, Lenín Moreno.

"It is a symbol of corruption,"

was the argument.

The statue, almost 2.3 meters high and 600 kilos in weight, was left in a shed in Quito until the Argentine Republic asked to repatriate it.

The monument was carved in bronze by the artist Miguel Jerónimo Villalba.

The same maker had to fix it for the act that supposes, according to the President himself, its installation in a place where it will now be "forever."

Fernández (Alberto), always more conciliatory than his vice, tries to make this tribute to Kirchner at the Culture Kirchner center also serve as an excuse to meet again with Kirchner (the head of the Senate).

But the tension between the two leaders reaches such an extreme that the President did not even order it to be officially announced that this act is being planned as it is.

Fernández (Alberto) meets Fernández (Cristina).

She has already been absent, both in person and online, from the acts of homage to Juan Perón on the 75th anniversary of October 17, 1945, the day a crowd clamored for the then Colonel Perón in Plaza de Mayo after learning that he had been detained by his own government.

Hazards of history: today's Peronism was also filled with intrigues, alleged plots against their own leaders and internal fights.

Fernández (Cristina), in public, maintains a silence that ends up forming a great void if one takes into account that Fernández (Alberto) gives interviews to the media and talks about multiple issues.

The opinion of the vice president about what is happening today in Argentina, about the crisis, about the pandemic, about the economy, poverty, land seizures, the Venezuela case, the causes of corruption, is unknown.

Or it should be interpreted through informal spokespersons.

Simpler: by reading his memoir, "Sincerely", it is possible to detect what concepts the Chief of Staff uses, for example, to criticize the opposition, such as pointing out that the most radicalized leaders of Together for Change are "flat-earthers" are ideas that she wrote in that unavoidable book to get closer to the thought of the most powerful woman in national politics.

According to the sources that represent the different spaces that make up the "Frente de Todos", Fernández (Cristina) is dissatisfied with the presidential administration in general.

His criticisms point to the functioning of the entire Cabinet, with exceptions, such as that of the Interior Minister, Eduardo De Pedro, who both Fernández (Alberto and Cristina) praise.

Afterwards, for her, everything would be a kind of great disaster that cannot cope with the agenda imposed by "the media."

A Secretary of State who deals with the President on a daily basis, an always optimistic man, accepted before Clarín that the relationship between his boss and Fernández (Cristina) goes through moments of discomfort for both, but stressed that reality finally prevailed: "He leads , and not her. "

What are the arguments of this important official to reach that conclusion?

Finally, the President no longer cares about the opposite opinion that Fernández (Cristina) has about which businessmen he should relate to and meet with, nor would he have noticed what she thinks about Venezuela and the

Bachelet

report

to order that the Argentine Republic vote against the position of

Nicolás Maduro

before the UN, the same with regard to the dialogue that the President continues to maintain with Chief Porteño,

Horacio Rodríguez Larreta,

or the presidential acceptance of which laws or measures that generated controversy, such as the plan to reform the Justice or the impulse The expropriation of Vicentín was finally stopped by a critical evaluation of those matters by Fernández's (Alberto) team.

Meanwhile, Fernández (Cristina) advances with his own agenda in the legislative field, which is basically about dealing with relevant issues in the Senate to influence the judicial field.

According to an analysis by Senator Martin Lousteau (Together for Change-Federal Capital),

only 2 percent of the laws voted by the upper house since the coronavirus pandemic began have to do with that disease

and the search for answers to alleviate , from different points of action, to the spread of the virus.

In 12 percent of the remaining sessions of the upper house, specifications for new judges were approved, generally related to the ruling party.

The remaining 20 percent, the Senate approved other types of legislative projects.

While 47 percent of the sessions were used to approve decrees of necessity and urgency signed by the President and his ministers.

The remaining 49 percent was used to legislate on draft declarations or senators' resolutions.

Some do not have the character of State affairs: one of them, for example, asked to declare the importance of the sighting of UFOs in a Patagonian province.

"An intense minority is trying to impose their issues on us,"

ironized one of the most powerful leaders with their own territorial leadership who describes himself as an unconditional friend of Fernández (Alberto).

"She damages the Government with her agenda, but we have to solve the crisis,"

another "Albertist" got angry, if that definition exists.

On October 27, 2010, Néstor Kirchner died.

And on October 27, 2019, the Fernández (Alberto) -Fernández (Cristina) formula won the general elections.

The date on which Kirchner will be enthroned at the Kirchner Cultural Center is important to the President, he said.

But October 27 is also important for him in that sense: a year since his electoral triumph, which is also Fernández's (Cristina).

Will they be seen together?

Nothing confirmed.

Juan Perón failed to bring the Fernández together on October 17.

Maybe Kirchner does.

Or not.
