After pushing

Agustín Rossi's

candidacy for senator

as an option that surpasses the one originally proposed by Governor

Omar Perotti

, the Casa Rosa took steps from Saturday to Wednesday for the Defense Minister to withdraw his aspirations.

The agreement between the provincial president and vice president

Cristina Kirchner

to draw up a list of unity between the Belisista

Marcelo Lewandowski

and the Christian

María de los Angeles Sacnun

changed the view of the Executive.

"We understand that

the best thing is unity,

" they argue in Balcarce 50.

In Rossi's environment they are categorical.

"

There is no chance that 'El Chivo' is not a candidate,

" they argued at the edge of the closing of "

strikeouts and amendments

" of the lists, which expired at midnight on Tuesday.

The

unity above all things

is the new mantra of the national ruling party

.

That vision allowed, for example, that La Cámpora and the mayor of Hurlingham

Juan Zabaleta

- who will probably replace

Daniel Arroyo

in Social Development - avoid PASO in the Conurbano district.

had received

Perotti last Wednesday

for almost three hours at Casa Rosada.

The governor insisted during those hours with the candidacy of his right hand

Roberto Mirabella

.

In La Rosada, with polls in hand, they maintained that the current senator "did not measure."

Perotti wasted no time and a day later he met with the vice president in the Senate and closed the formula for former journalist

Marcelo Lewandowski

(who would originally head the ballot of Deputies) to lead a formula with Sacnun, CFK's favorite, and with Mirabella as the first candidate for deputy.

"

Cristina

again showed that she is

the most pragmatic,

" they repeated in La Rosada and in the Santa Fe government.

Lewandowski refers to the former Minister

María Eugenia Bielsa

, "one of the officials who did not work," according to the former president.

However, the journalist allows Peronism in Santa Fe to penetrate an electorate that looks at him with distrust after the failed intervention in Vicentin.

In Santa Fe they argue that Rossi was convinced that his candidacy could give him a national projection and came across a

formula that now has the endorsement

of the

President, the Vice President and the Governor.

In La Rosada and in the governorate, they see with concern the internal competition in a

STEP

that threatens to be

bloody

and in which according to all the polls they run from behind to the formula of

Federico Angelini

and

Amalia Granata

, one of the 4 lists that the main opposing force.

Perotti, who in turn ran as a pre-candidate for alternate senator (he does not have re-election), answered the grievances of Rossi, who has Lieutenant Governor

Alejandra Rodenas

on the ballot

,

who is part of the armed forces of provincial senator

Armando Traferri

, charged in a cause of

underground gambling

. "

I will never dedicate a second to answer a grievance,

" said the provincial leader after Rossi charged him over the weekend and on Monday, when he argued that "Perotti wanted to remove Peronism from his list."

The question is

what the President

 -also head of the national PJ- will do with a minister who does not obey his political wishes and while the successions of other members of the national and Buenos Aires Cabinet such as

Daniel Arroyo and Daniel Gollan are already being considered

.

Rossi is not planning to leave the Defense Portfolio before December.

"The governor is a candidate for alternate senator, should he also resign?"

The Minister of the Interior and delegate of La Cámpora in the Executive,

Wado de Pedro

, charged against his partner in the Cabinet.

"I regret that Cristina's example of prioritizing the collective interest over individual ones has not reached all leaders," he said in statements to Cenital.

In favor of the minister, in La Rosada no one forgets the constant differentiations of the governor of the national Executive with respect to Vicentin, the stock of meat and even with the construction of his own label "

We do Santa Fe

", a brand almost traced to that of Cordovan Governor

Juan Schiaretti

. They fear that a harsh internment will pave the way for Rosario mayor

Pablo Javkin

, from the Civic Front,

to the governorship

in 2023. "No one is willing to die for Perotti," they affirm without detracting from the minister's army.

The official intern exceeds Rossi and Perotti.

The

Evita Movement

placed Eduardo Toniolli as the first candidate for deputy on the minister's list.

Sergio Massa added his provincial reference

Oscar Martínez

in third place on the list.

Rossi, who spoke with the vice president last week, ignores the president's request for now.

Close to the minister they recall the long history of interns in the province, that Peronism has 10 lists in the local elections of Rosario, the 4 lists of JxC and the 2 of socialism for the PASO and they promise to line up after September 12.
