The surprise death, on Tuesday, of the head of the Superintendency of Health Services (SSS),
Eugenio Zanarini
, left
the leadership of the CGT
on alert
.
They are afraid of who will be in charge of that organism,
key in the control of the health system
and in the
distribution of millionaire funds
for social works.
The concrete fear is that Kirchnerism
seeks to advance another box
in the Alberto Fernández administration and remain in control of the SSS.
The leadership of the CGT, in Olivos, with the President last year.
For months, the Christinist
Liliana Korenfeld
, who in the second presidency of Cristina Kirchner was the head of the Superintendency,
has been sounding for that position
.
The mere memory of his time there still generates chills in the unions: Korenfeld kept them
"stepped on"
funds from social works for years.
It was the time when Hugo Moyano commanded the CGT and was at odds with the current vice president.
For this reason, the cegetista leadership
moved quickly
after the death of Zanarini to achieve a meeting with
Alberto Fernández
.
Thus, this Thursday they will go to have lunch at Quinta de Olivos with the President, according to sources from the Peronist labor union.
His small table will go through the CGT: Gerardo Martínez (UOCRA),
José Luis Lingeri
(Sanitary Works), Héctor Daer (Health), Carlos Acuña (Stationers), Andrés Rodríguez (UPCN), the merchant Armando Cavalieri and the metallurgist Antonio Caló.
There were versions that
David Arauchan
, a candidate for the union central to be in charge of the Superintendency of Health Services,
would also go to the lunch
.
But a cegetista leader denied the version: "
No, we are only leaders," he
told
Clarín
.
Arauchan is currently the general manager of the SSS.
With a strong link with the state
Andrés Rodríguez
-Arauchan had a stint in the UPCN social work-, he was the CGT candidate in December 2019 to command the Superintendency.
But at that time, the full start of the Alberto Fernández administration, the former Minister of Health Gines González García prevailed, who appointed Zanarini to the SSS.
Zanarini, 71, was found dead in his home on Tuesday.
I was lying down.
It is presumed he had a heart attack (in December he had had a heart attack).
He was the last kidney official of Ginés González García who was still in the structure of the Ministry of Health after the departure of the former minister due to the VIP vaccination scandal.
I am grateful to life for having had you as a friend and brother.
The nation loses an exceptional public servant.
Goodbye my dearest Eugenio.

"I am grateful to life for having had you as a friend and brother. The Nation loses
an exceptional public servant.
Goodbye my beloved Eugenio," Ginés said goodbye on his Twitter account.
Although the relationship between Zanarini and the CGT was on track, last year there had been an extreme tension peak: a year ago the Superintendency made a millionaire distribution of funds that favored Hugo Moyano's social works.
The
union fight
was because from the Superintendency, in full quarantine, it had distributed
$ 4,000 million
in a discretionary way and gave more money to the Truckers than to other social works with more affiliates.
After the cegetista kick, Zanarini had to back down and make a new distribution of funds.
Own candidate
At lunch this Thursday, the CGT will return to the charge to achieve the appointment of
David Arauchan
in the SSS.
In the CGT they describe him as a "technician" who does not generate mistrust in any of the camps in which the union movement is divided.
The unionists' rush to meet with Alberto Fernández is due to their fear that Kirchnerism, amid other tensions for control of key areas of the Government, will seek to
colonize
the SSS.
"In that position, someone is needed to guarantee the efficiency of the system and to make the distribution of resources transparent," said a leader who will be at lunch this Thursday in Olivos.
In addition to the succession in the Super, the CGT wants to speak again with the President about the financing crisis of the social work system and the progress of the economy.
A leading trade unionist anticipated: "
If the talk is given, we will support Martin (Guzmán),
" who is being attacked by Kirchnerist sectors.
