It was not the only survey.
There were others that were beginning to register the same trend.
But this own survey had been made by
a very reliable consultant for Peronism
, who was a civil servant, who knows the country well and the number left no room for doubt.
The Frente de Todos appears
four points below
Juntos por el Cambio when voting intention is measured in the province of Buenos Aires.
The district that obsesses Cristina and for which Máximo Kirchner and La Cámpora work the most. The territory in which the Vice President had based in the legislative elections of 2017 and which
had returned them to power
with the resounding triumph of Axel Kicillof two years later. The signal fell like a bomb.
The survey contains no more surprises.
It does not highlight candidates
with expectations of stardom in the opposition, much less in the ruling party. It registers, yes,
the growth of the negative image of Kicillof and Cristina.
And the collapse without respite of the positive image of Alberto Fernández. These combined factors impact, for the first time in a year and a half, on that last link of the electoral oracles, which is the intention to vote. It ran like a thread of fire through
the mobile phones of officials, legislators and trade unionists.
It was then that the Vice President decided it was time to get fully involved in the campaign.
The first forceful change
was to return to face-to-face classes in the province of Buenos Aires.
Cristina's decision was advanced, as has happened on other occasions, by the perceptive Minister of Health, Daniel Gollán, at noon on last Friday.
So unexpected was
the change in the wind
that there were several officials who kept talking about the impossibility of returning to classes without noticing the new news.
Axel Kicillof with Daniel Gollan and Carlos Bianco, on Friday when he announced the return to face-to-face classes in the suburbs.
It happened to a couple of Buenos Aires spokesmen, the Minister of Education Nicolás Trotta and the President himself, who spoke of
maintaining the restrictions
in an act by Malvinas three hours before Kicillof backed down with the incomprehensible measure of closing the schools before the arrival of winter.
Among the news that the discreet Peronist survey brought, was
the growth of the image of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta
in Buenos Aires territory, a fact that for Cristina was the last straw.
"Do you want to make Pelado president? Let's open the schools and stop screwing around,"
were the scientific terms that the Vice President used to make hers react.
The face-to-face classes in the Buenos Aires schools, without a major incidence in the rise of infections, produced in the inhabitants of Greater Buenos Aires
a malaise that reaches a part of the habitual voters of Peronism.
This is how Kirchnerism's political commitment must be read to
avoid displeasure at the PASO
, which are barely three months away.
In last Sunday's edition, Guido Carelli Lynch, anticipated in Clarín that the Frente de Todos will go for
a radicalization of the discourse
and will seek to raise Mauricio Macri as an opponent.
That is precisely
what Cristina put into practice
this Monday, together with Kicillof at the door of the Children's Hospital of La Plata.
And he put as the
first victims of the electoral campaign
the prepaid medicine companies, the private sanatoriums and the trade union social works, one of the largest funds of politics.
"We are going to have to rethink the entire health system," said the Vice President, so that everyone would be warned.
The Instituto Patria project
Kirchnerism is known to always have
a benevolent definition
to disguise its political goals. If throwing out the judges who respond to us their directives was the Democratization of Justice, this time it is about the
Integration of the Health System.
It is the project designed at the Patria Institute to extend state controls and exercise
political mentorship over the private health system
without obstacles
, which this Tuesday was going to denounce in court the imminent damages that they foresee behind the state advance.
The meetings between leaders of Kirchnerism and directors of the prepaid companies went from bad to worse and ended in the worst way.
"Take the black bags,"
said one of the officials with a smile, explaining the clash of planets that comes with the metaphor of the materials used in health centers to wrap corpses. An image that, sadly,
has become familiar with the pandemic
and is accelerating towards the chilling death toll of one hundred thousand.
The battle for the control of private and union health will be very tough, but the businessmen and also the unionists know by now that
they cannot count too much on the promise
of stopping the Kirchnerism that the President made them.
“Alberto endured up to here; Now nobody knows where all this ends, ”
explains the veteran head of a union that saw all the possible misfortunes happen except that of being retired in his untouchable castle of power.
In short, Cristina is
once again at the forefront of the electoral campaign
and she will do it in her own way. The one who kept her as president for eight years and the one who served her for the triumphant return with the appropriate mask of Alberto Fernández. Now he
asks to leave the vaccine and the pandemic out of political competition.
Right in a territory where vaccines are applied only by Kirchnerism. In which
hundreds of relatives, friends and friends of the officials
have been vaccinated
in a privileged way
. The slogan is to
erase that contradiction
that the polls already mark. Raising the flag that always paid off. The deceptive banner with which he tries to convince the country of light memory.
