Cristina Kirchner is not literal.
Her words always usually contain
a double message,
tacit, in this case with the excuse of rejecting criticism of the management of a government that she integrates along with many officials of La Cámpora, located in key places.
In her long text on the occasion of the anniversary of Néstor Kirchner, Cristina sought to
defend Alberto Fernández but at the same time also detach herself
from the decisions that the Government adopts, basically those that make the economic situation and the integration of the ministerial cast.
"Officials who do not work well" is a criticism of several ministers of the national cabinet, which is not new, but it is
the first time that the vice president has made it public
.
Until now, they were only criticized in private of their environment towards officials such as Santiago Cafiero, Claudio Moroni, María Eugenia Bielsa, Felipe Sóla or Mario Meoni.
This time he made no names, but made his discontent clear.
Beyond blaming everything on the pandemic -which for the first time extensively-, it
also whitewashed a reality that not even the Government has admitted
: "The brake on the economy and the general uncertainty about what will happen to our lives are overwhelming ".

Both the President and the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, have been trying - until now unsuccessfully - to calm the market and convince society that the way out of the crisis will not be traumatic, that there will be no devaluation.
But
Cristina Kirchner does not save on adjectives
.
"Stifling," he says.
And although the Casa Rosada interprets it as
support
for Alberto Fernández, Cristina makes it clear that "in Argentina the one who decides is the President."
Unnecessarily -or yes- he adds that "you may or may not like what he decides, but it is he who decides."
More than an endorsement, it seems like a kind of clarification, ensuring that she is not responsible for what happens, but
that they look at the Casa Rosada and not the Instituto Patria.
In a challenging tone, as is his characteristic, he points out "that no one wants to convince you otherwise. If someone tries to do so, ask them what interests move him or her."
Who are you referring to?
To the governors and mayors who do not want Cristina and Máximo Kirchner to enter next year who will be the candidates for deputies and senators?
Or perhaps this idea that he rejects, that of reviving the Justicialist party and that Alberto Fernández and the provincial leaders and some communal leaders are part of that leadership?
