The man was a minister, wanted to be a candidate for president and even fought for the Senate with Cristina Kirchner.
But despite that, since he began military service at age 16, he is currently away from politics.
Disillusioned with her, maybe.
This Buenos Aires Peronist was Minister of the Interior in the two terms of CFK but a stop that the President herself put him, frustrated him: it was when Aníbal Florencio Randazzo wanted to compete in the presidential PASO of 2015 but the Head of State did not allow it and enthroned Daniel Osvaldo Scioli, accompanied by Carlos Zannini, with whom the minister had a daily relationship of trust.
Time passed, Mauricio Macri won the presidential elections and Randazzo ran.
But the man returned to the scene in 2017, competing with a list other than Kirchnerism.
In 2019 he got together with Cristina but there was no reconciliation or possible agreement
and "El Flaco" again left the scene.
He barely showed himself a couple of times with Alberto Fernández and his incorporation into the Government of the Frente de Todos never happened, apart from
the rumors that he had been offered a ministry or the embassy in Uruguay.

What's Randazzo up to now?
This chronicler saw him having lunch in La Recova, in Retiro, fully dedicated to his work in a technology company.
Two tables away, the national official
Fernando "Chino" Navarro could be seen eating with two people: one of them, the economist Carlos Melconian.
Randazzo is far from the political thread and only speaks with those who are his friends, such as Emilio Monzó, with whom he cultivates the relationship but with whom he is not united by any political future.
Those who hear him speak to the former minister hear him very critical of the government of Alberto Ángel Fernández
, whom he considers absolutely subsumed under the influence of Cristina Kirchner.
Will "El Flaco" return to politics?

PRO-active
On the contrary, the one who does not slow down the political pace is Mauricio Macri.
This week, he held meetings every day, both at his home and in his offices.
This is how he was seen, receiving Buenos Aires mayors: in a group, the one from Junín, Pergamino and 9 de Julio arrived.
Meanwhile, this Thursday, at his home in Acassuso,
Macri received Néstor Grindetti with his close collaborator Fernando De Andreis.
The mayor of Lanús gave him an "up-date" of the state of the province of Buenos Aires and how the relationship of the mayors of Juntos por el Cambio with the administration of Axel Kicillof is.
There was a little talk about the internal noises of Together for Change
(Grindetti is pointed out in the side of "the doves", while the former President leads "the hawks").
All this, in the middle of some steaks with some vegetables.
Mauricio Macri received the "Sin Tierra", such as Alex Campbell and Martiniano Molina
The day before,
Macri had been with another mayor -Julio Garro, from La Plata-
and with the so-called "Sin Tierra" (leaders where they do not manage the quartermaster) such as Martiniano Molina and Alex Campbell.

Hi, I'm Francisco
Another kidney man from PRO had a surprise this week.
The event occurred during the presence of a group of national deputies in the protest for the reopening of the El Palomar airport:
María Luján Rey, Silvia Gabriela Lospennato and Dina Rezinovsk, Miguel Bazze
, plus the provincial deputies Alex Campbell and María Eugenia Brizzi were present , and Provincial Senator Daniela Reich, all from Together for Change.
But suddenly, one of them left the group to answer an urgent call.
After a while,
Cristian Ritondo returned, his face shocked.
"Who was it?" Asked a legislator.
"It was the Pope,"
replied the head of the PRO block.
The call occurred after an email that Ritondo had sent to the Supreme Pontiff during the week, where he spoke of the new discussion of abortion and the social situation in the country.
The reason for Francisco's call was showing his interest in "the option for life" given the imminent debate on legal abortion
in Argentina.
Holy word ...
