Twenty months after his exciting last session as president of the Chamber of Deputies, Emilio Monzó is making his debut.

It is that in recent days

his face reached the walls

of the AMBA, as part of its launch to compete in the PASO 2021. And from there it was projected on social networks, where a sticker from its posters went

viral in an unthinkable way .

Monzó, 55, is willing to compete within Juntos por el Cambio for the 2021 elections. He has already warned that he will be a pre-candidate for national deputy for the Province of Buenos Aires, with the

Dialogue Party

, which is part of the main opposition coalition .

However, his gaze rests on a bigger prize: the elections for the

Buenos Aires government

in 2023.

The posters of Emilio Monzó that went viral.

While the hard internal JxC are being settled, his name also

began to circulate in the streets,

both in the City and in the Province of Buenos Aires.

First it was with his signature and the slogan "The path is dialogue", the battle horse of the one who withdrew from the presidency of Deputies in November 2019 to an ovation.

The new posters are in an

intense pink

, the same hue that he uses in his social media communications.

"It is part of the

JxC color range"

, they clarify in their team so as not to give rise to doubts about their - at least current - belonging.

In the lower margin of the poster is your name and your header phrase.

In the foreground, the figure of the former deputy and his initials, EM.

The problem - or the opportunity, according to the consultant on duty - was the uncalculated: when one ballot is pasted next to another

It all started in the networks


It was on Twitter that a photograph of Monzó's posters was disseminated.

Six posters stuck to the fence

of a construction site that became the viral of this Tuesday.

His

initials repeated, in continuity

.

And as with that controversy about the two-color dress, users saw what they wanted.

Or what they could.

Posters of Emilio Monzó in the Province.

The former head of Deputies also signs up for a 2021 candidacy.

There were those who believed they read

"MEME",

as those images that travel on networks are called and that reach WhatsApp groups at the speed of light.

"Emilio Monzó launched his campaign and

it is already MEME,"

wrote one user.

Another believed to guess a

certain intention

of the Monzó communication team to gain lockers in the virtual conversation and thus put pressure on the intern of Juntos por el Cambio.

The comments for the posters of Emilio Monzó.

"Monzó: I need something to steal votes from the MM list in the intern. Campaign team: say no more," said @matiwasser.

From their surroundings, however, they perjured that it was all a coincidence.

Although

not necessarily a mistake

.

There were those who, at first glance, remembered

a former President

.

"The campaign director of Monzó is very good, we are all talking about him, because Menem is read in advertising," wrote user @ dosinaga2.

"Carlos Saúl Monzó", another hastened to define it.



And he continued in politics


The repercussions did not remain in the networks.

Several

Political figures

wanted to communicate with Monzó

 , intrigued by the episode.

Speculation about the posters of Emilio Monzó on social networks.

They called him from PRO.

Several radicals also communicated with him, among them, it transpired that there was a call from Martín Lousteau.

They wanted to know if it was

fake

or wanted.

"I have no idea what happened on the networks, but the posters and the campaign have been launched for two months," Monzó said.

From the environment of the

less aligned

player

of JXC they admit that with the view on the campaign and raising the profile, the candidate for now is

much more attentive to the networks

.

"He is giving him more ball, without a doubt," they accept.

But his opinion was not known before the virality.

And they also rushed to clarify that

another poster

that circulated in recent weeks

is not official

, very similar to an old one by Sergio Massa.

Jokes about Emilio Monzó's posters.

Monzó prepares to go to PASO.

His possible opponents are Jorge Macri, the former President's cousin, and Facundo Manes, the star that the UCR got to compete in the Province.

"This Wednesday the radical party will present Facundo. It is a very good contribution. It has been decided. It will be very good. I don't know if there will be a STEP with all those actors.

There is a lot of dialogue between us.

But there are some STEP,

welcome that people can decide,

"said Monzó this Tuesday in

A24

.


The primaries are set for September 12, according to this year's reformulated election schedule.

A long time in Argentine politics.

Anything can happen.

For now, one of the Buenos Aires pre-candidates - perhaps without intending to - has already signed up

for the digital conversation

.

And in campaign, as in other areas, some experts assure that

there is no good or bad publicity

.

As the maxim says, "there is only advertising."

If it is viral, the better.
