In the midst of the internal discussions, the public reappearance of Cristina Kirchner worked for Juntos por el Cambio as another possibility of pointing out the

"contradictions" in the Government

and unifying the discourse for a moment, while generating

different positions

on the orientation of the bell. A sector of the coalition places the vice president in a

central

place

for the confrontation

; another considers it more convenient not to personalize his figure or enhance the polarization that includes Mauricio Macri, who was raised on the scene as a strategy by the Frente de Todos.

From Cristina's passage through La Plata, in the gaze of Together for Change, stood out her insistence on changing the health system, the request to leave the pandemic and vaccination out of the disputes and the section in which she discussed the

concept of "freedom

”, Possibly one of the axes of the electoral duel. The opposition reactions in public contrasted the words of the vice president about removing the health situation from the political struggle with the presence of Alberto Fernández in Ezeiza, due to the arrival of AstraZeneca doses and the sum of 20 million in total. They also interpreted his speech as a

confirmation of his leading role

in the government's direction, electoral decisions and the next campaign.

“She is the one who drives and stands on the court to start ordering. We are messy, they too.

Now it stops from moderation, which will not last long,

"evaluated a high-ranking Buenos Aires official. "The strategy is for Kirchnerism to have more presence," estimated a member of the national table, referring to the preponderant roles of Cristina and Axel Kicillof in the province of Buenos Aires.

"Our campaign is to

stop a Kirchnerism that wants to stay with the institutions

and transform the country from republican to autocratic, and show society a project of growth and employment," Patricia Bullrich told

Clarín

, and confronted the idea of ​​freedom of former president. “It has an absolutely distorted conception. She is not a commentator, she is the vice president.

They closed freedoms, activity, school days.

It should make a self-criticism of the bad management of vaccines, "said the head of the PRO.

“For us

there is a central axis, to beat Cristina

.

Try an autocracy every day, it must be stopped this year.

An economic system is being played that does not believe in private initiative, ”Hernán Lombardi, also close to Macri, stated in a statement to FM Milenium.

Fernán Quirós, with a moderate profile and who generally avoids confrontation, made his difference with the proposal to integrate social works, the public sector and private medicine.

"

It will not be an enlightened person who will solve the problem

of the Argentine health system," said the Buenos Aires minister.

Cristina Kirchner, with Axel Kicillof, at Monday's ceremony in La Plata.

In the face of the campaign, the so-called moderate wing of Together for Change marks concerns about fueling the polarization with the focus on Cristina Kirchner.

There is an awful social humor and bringing her to her permanently puts you in the mud

.

They are better than us at that ”, dismissed a member of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta's small table:“ In 2019 they won the election from the center and now they repeat the strategy.

It polarizes with the libertarians or with Macri to go to the middle

”, it functioned as a warning from that sector.

Beyond her combative style, Elisa Carrió shares that strategy: she insists on "maintaining temperance" and

rejects a radicalization of the dispute

, "functional to hard Kirchnerism" according to her gaze.

From the radicalism they warned about the convenience of

deactivating the government's objective of raising Macri

to the electoral dispute.

In his drive for the candidacy of Facundo Manes, Alfredo Cornejo underlined as one of the neuroscientist's favorable points the fact that he did not participate in the management of Cambiemos.

"That should be the profile," argued the head of the UCR, in order to avoid in the campaign the discussion about the administration of Macri and also of María Eugenia Vidal.

In the same vein, Martín Lousteau proposed to recognize the errors of the Macri government in the last meeting of the national board of Together for Change.

"You have to show a possible economic course and for that you

have to make self-criticism of your own management,

" the senator said.

“The Government expresses a

sea ​​of ​​contradictions

. Cristina spoke that removing the pandemic from the political discussion and two hours later the President was receiving vaccines with a phosphorescent vest ”, questioned Mario Negri, and proposed:“ Our campaign will be linked to people who do not have a job, to which the second doses ”.

Close to Macri they sought to relativize that the confrontation with the vice president leads to a duel with both former presidents as protagonists. “

We do not believe in that dichotomy

, we are not part of the rift and Mauricio is not the other side. We do not consider the other as an enemy to be suppressed, ”they argued. At the Buenos Aires government headquarters they referred to the

"blunder"

of having polarized with Cristina after 2017: "In those legislatures she was on the ballot and it worked, then it was time to agree with Peronism."
