In a marathon session full of crosses and accusations between the ruling party and the opposition, in which the Chamber of Deputies finally approved the project that cuts funds from the co-participation to the City of Buenos Aires, the closing speech of Máximo Kirchner, head of the bloc of the Frente de Todos, had almost an exclusive addressee: Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
For several minutes, the vice president's son denied that the initiative, which must be endorsed by the Senate because it had modifications, was not a punishment for the City of Buenos Aires.
And there, take the opportunity to target the head of the Buenos Aires government, in a speech
that seemed to point directly to 2023.
"There are many who are very anti-Peronist with the interior of the country, but when he sees someone from Buenos Aires Peronism, the head of the Government's eyes shine, it is all very selective," he said.
Kirchner made direct reference to a possible candidacy of Larreta for the Presidency in 2023 and compared him with Mauricio Macri and Fernando De la Rúa.
"They say that there is a curse that no Buenos Aires governor reaches President. The blessing is in the City, the one who is Head of Government becomes President. De la Rúa, Macri. And they do the same: mega-swap, armor, fierce indebtedness with the IMF, "began Máximo Kirchner.
And he noted: "I don't know if the current head of government will be the President of all Argentines. Hopefully he will be the first head of government to do something different from Macri and De la Rúa. Every time a head of government governed us, the country ended up in debt and turned upside down. "
Kirchner also spent several minutes criticizing the form of administration of the City's resources by Larreta: "That theft of funds that was made in national income resources should return to the nation and a part of that will surely be invested in the city".
"The lack of arguments is remarkable, what we could observe in the negotiations that began more than 200 days ago in the city could never be carried out because they got used to wearing everything," said the deputy.
