The head of the block of PJ deputies, Máximo Kirchner, expected a different Christmas.
Perhaps with a gift from Santa Claus earned by himself.
It will not.
The image is a metaphor.
This Wednesday he
got angry with those he considers to be his adversaries
in a power fight in which he has no gift for now.
Kirchner was convinced that he would have a party for these parties.
Nothing more and nothing less than
control of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party
, an electoral machine that would put it in another stage if it achieved its objective: to assume as head of Buenos Aires Peronism with a massive resignation of the councilors.
He ran into
internal resistance
and in a speech at a meeting with part of the mayors of the PJ of the Province, which was the highest moment of an act in Lomas de Zamora, he specifically verbalized, and in the K style, his Christmas annoyance :
accused the current president of the PJ
of Buenos Aires, Gustavo Menéndez (Merlo's communal chief);
the vice of the district party, Fernando Gray (mayor of Esteban Echeverría);
and to the ascendant Juan Zabaleta (Hurlingham), for being the
authors of "political operations" against him
that frustrate his desire to assume as the formal leader of those territorial leaders of Peronism.
According to sources present at the event in Lomas de Zamora, Kirchner went further and stated that he will give political combat to his project to "renew" the PJ of Buenos Aires:
"We are going to see if they have a back to endure," he
warned, perhaps giving to understand that he would try with his influence to
stop the flow of funds to the municipalities
that manage the wayward "three musketeers" of project K.
A new internal power opens in the Front of All.
Deputy Kirchner, supposedly with the endorsement of President Alberto Fernández, would have agreed with the mayors of Buenos Aires Peronism that the entire party leadership and all the councilors that make up that stamp of undeniable electoral and symbolic power would resign.
The disagreements regarding the Kirchner project with the PJ are open.
As
Clarín
learned
from leading sources in this story,
Máximo believed that he had agreed that he himself would assume the Presidency of the Buenos Aires PJ
in line with the assumption of Fernández (Alberto) in the National PJ.
This movement would be completed with the landing of more leaders of La Cámpora in the Council of Peronism in Buenos Aires, so that the faithful to Máximo would have more leaders than the orthodox PJ.
The inmate was in full negotiation until this Wednesday
Kirchner made explicit his fury with the "three musketeers" Menéndez, Zabaleta and Gray
, something that angered some of the communal leaders who heard him in Lomas de Zamora.
Other mayors, on the other hand, think that if Máximo assumes as president of the Buenos Aires PJ, he would cease to be the head of La Cámpora, the group that threatens to advance until not only the Buenos Aires Peronism but also most of the possible municipalities, many of which they are today under the command of classical PJ leaders who do not want to give up either their historic militancy or their votes.
The problem for those mayors is that many of them could not go to a re-election because the law prevents them.
This legislation is also being "negotiated" in a dialogue between Kirchner and the powerful communal leaders of the PJ of Buenos Aires.
Last Monday, the journalist Fernando González announced in
Clarín
that "Máximo goes to war with the barons of the suburbs."
That war was advanced.
And Kirchner said in public who are his enemies to defeat.
A Kirchner, after all.
He hit before continuing to negotiate.
The replacement of authorities of the PJ of Buenos Aires could be unlocked by February, or perhaps before.
Too long for men of power educated in the art of exercising it rather than losing it.
