In the midst of all the controversy between the Nation, Province and City, the public silence of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner draws the attention of locals and strangers. "Make no mistake: everything that is silent in the public, shows how active it is in the private, fully involved in politics," warns a mayor who maintains a close relationship with both the President and the Vice President. The former head of state is installed in her department of Juncal and Uruguay and also spends quite a few hours at her daughter Florencia's, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Constitución. But it is in Recoleta where political meetings take place. And the heaviest ones in recent days have to do with the Russian vaccine; For this,
Fernández de Kirchner remains in permanent contact with Cecilia Nicolini
, the national official who, together with Carla Vizzotti, manage the relationship with the Russian Federation for health issues.
Nicolini thus brings, to the lands of Vladimir Putin, the mandate conferred by President Fernández but also messages transmitted by Vice President Fernández. The current centrality of the presidential adviser made several wonder
how this political scientist came to the core of Alberto Fernández.
It is already September 2019, Nicolini accompanied in Madrid the already winner of the PASO, as in the photo where they are seen together in the Spanish capital and that illustrates this column, where the current Undersecretary of Political Affairs, Miguel Evaristo Cuberos, is also present.
Nicolini collaborated with the Chilean Marco Enríquez-Ominami
in the Puebla Group, then he lived in the Spanish capital and his last place before coming to Argentina was Boston, the capital of Massachusetts.

Capital Mess
Where things are not very calm is in the Buenos Aires Peronist fold. In the last week,
many looks were for the fold of the union member and media owner Víctor Santa María
. First, it was because the continuity as Minister of Education was in doubt, Nicolás Trotta, (very close to Santa María) who broke his long silence precisely in a report with the Página / 12 newspaper, owned by the SUTERH chief. And also because the name of the asset Víctor was mentioned in the national Cabinet, after a couple of publications criticizing Minister Matías Lammens, assigning Santa María the fireside of events that would harm the Minister of Tourism. This would be
due to the fact that Lammens sounds like the candidate of the Frente de Todos in the elections
Buenos Aires of this year and the unionist of those in charge of buildings has enough management in Peronism and wants to maintain his influence.
The Peronists when they fight ...
President Alberto Fernández and the Minister of Education, Nicolás Trotta, met this Wednesday, after the controversy over the face-to-face classes.
Light, camera, classes!
Last Sunday, the conflict between the Nation and the City of Buenos Aires broke out due to the ruling of the City's Court of Appeals in Administrative and Tax Litigation, which defined a protection of organized parents, who demand the dictation of classes. After knowing that ruling, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta called a press conference and said that there would normally be classes in CABA. He did it flanked by the Buenos Aires deputy chief, Diego Santilli, and three ministers: Health, Transportation and, obviously, Education. Precisely, the head of this last ministry, as soon as that press conference ended, began a television and radio raid so that it was known that schools should teach classes normally. So it was that
Soledad Acuña spoke -from that Sunday night until Monday evening- in 15 media !.
Then, the minister's media marathon continued all week talking about the situation of the schools, the messages that Nicolás Trotta did not respond to, the subsequent ruling of the federal judge Esteban Furnari urging to restart classes and, finally, about how he expects the City, the resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice.
Acuña's performance is praised, inside the Parque Patricios municipal building, by her boss Rodríguez Larreta, who listens to several collaborators talking about the possibility that the education minister could be a candidate this year.
Paradoxically, the management of the pandemic has generated that both the Minister of Education and the Minister of Health, Fernán Quirós, are seen in an electoral key.
Urns alert ...
Minister of Education, Soledad Acuña.
