"El Chivo Rossi made two errors of faith: one, believing that Alberto was the one who decided on the lists. Two, believing that Cristina's love lasts forever
.
"
Says a source who knows every nook and cranny of the Santa Fe politics labyrinth .
The Defense Minister jumped, pushed by the President to present an alternative in the PASO of Santa Fe, just when Governor Perotti was making arrangements with Cristina Kirchner, he put a senator with a clear identification K (María de los Ángeles Sacnun) as second on the list that he supports, and kept the seal of the “official” list
blessed by the Instituto Patria
.
From that moment, also, by the President.
When Rossi told her to
backpedal
it was too late.
Perotti ignored it ugly and got his ear wet, Rossi got angry and moved on and then learned on TV that the President
was resigning
from Lima:
no one who is a candidate can continue to be a minister
, said Alberto Fernández.
And the Minister of Defense was pedaling in the air.
Without Ministry;
no defense.
Now he has to go to an intern against the governor, who will face ally Lieutenant Governor Alejandra Rodenas.
This is how strange things are in Santa Fe.
Chivo's
problem
is
the reputation of the partners
who support him and put together the list.
His brother Alejandro Rossi - known in the province as
"Fratacho"
- wove the definitive alliance for the launch of the outgoing minister with Armando "Pipi" Traferri, a provincial senator who was asked to violate after being denounced by a prosecutor as the "godfather "From
the illegal gambling mafias
in the province.
The prosecutor who pointed him out, along with another,
is in prison: he
protected those mafias, fell and declared against Traferri as
"repentant
."
The battle against Traferri and his alleged multimillion dollar businesses in the San Lorenzo department - to which the most important exporting port in the country belongs - is the cornerstone of the internal Santa Fe: Governor Perotti encouraged investigations against Traferri, who denounced a persecution.
Traferri could never be investigated because
he relied on his jurisdiction
, but he is scheduled for August 23: he will be formally charged with
corruption
.
He is the one who negotiated and closed Rossi's formula together with the deputy governor, a former judge who entered provincial politics from his hand.
Despite the substantial judicial investigation against him -the prosecutors have already spread wiretaps and strong testimonies-, Traferri
was in the Ministry of Defense
the day the lists were closed.
“He went to the Casa Rosada but Wado De Pedro did not receive him. On the other hand, in Defense a photo was taken with Minister Rossi ”
, they say in Rosario.
The photo circulates on social networks.
Rossi is then left without a Ministry, entangled in an intern that the Government does not bless and associated with the senator suspected of corruption.
And he arrives at an unexpected situation: a Kirchnerist from the first hour, he is going to face the list that Cristina supports in the PASO.
He jumped into the void pushed by the President and, in the middle of the descent,
they took out his parachute
.
Rossi leaves the Ministry while confirming that the Army has contracts with
Apache Solutions
, the security technology company owned by Chien Chia Hong, partner of the model and advisor to the Presidency Sofía Pacchi and one of those who entered Olivos to see the President and his wife
in 2020, in full quarantine
.
The Argentine Army tenders were won by the Taiwanese businessman
that same year
.
The commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces is Alberto Fernández.
The cold of loneliness is more inclement than that of winter.
Only Leandro Santoro, Kirchner candidate in the city, came out to support Rossi in the bad:
"I am there for whatever you need ... he gave a lot to our cause," he
said.
Many others
stared sideways and silently
.
Rossi is now trying to defend an identity that his bosses no longer certify to him in public:
"Perotti told me that it was inconvenient for me to participate because I was a Kirchnerist," he
says, playing unconditional loyalty.
It is difficult for him to move the stony hearts that pushed him down the stairs and only draw electoral accounts.
