Alberto Fernández seeks to recover from the very hard setback that the birthday celebration he shared in Olivos with his partner and friends in full isolation meant and resume the political initiative in the
final
sprint
of the campaign with a tour of the interior and greater presence of his officials from facing the primaries next month.
It was
the lowering of the line that was drawn at the cabinet meeting on Friday
, an unusual staging of this management that the Casa Rosada used in response to the opposition offensive for the entertainment of Fabiola Yañez in July last year, an explosive revelation in the middle of the campaign.
"You have to go out into the streets,"
one of the speakers, a minister with Buenos Aires activism, raised at that meeting.
What's more: he asked in front of the President, Santiago Cafiero and the first line of officials that the entire cabinet sign up on Sunday, September 12, to oversee.
As a sign of internal political vitality in the face of questions.
It is that
Olivos's birthday, which for now includes images and a series of recordings
that the President wanted to order during the week with the leak on the El Uncover site and on Public Television, became the biggest crisis of the coalition of government, even above the VIP vaccination of last February.
Not only because unlike that operation mounted in the building of the Ministry of Health, which led to the departure of
Ginés González García
, this time there was no one to blame outside of the presidential figure.
If not because, now, the criticisms were not born only from the toughest sector of the coalition, that is to say, from Kirchnerism: the
staff
of civil servants and collaborators who swarm around Casa Rosada felt the blow in their own flesh.
In this context,
respect for the presidential inauguration was severely damaged.
In that sense, the Government will seek from the next few hours to leave the Olivos episode behind with
a raid of visits through the interior of the country that begins with San Juan
, which continues through Catamarca - celebrating the bicentennial - and La Pampa, an agenda that Fernández has scheduled to tire this Monday, Wednesday and next Friday.
As a way to also include the governors, who until now declared themselves to be without the
Olivos
affair
that splashes on the ruling party.
And to crush in the post-pandemic stage, a roadmap drawn when the photos and videos of Olivos had not yet appeared.

The same is
Eduardo "Wado" from Pedro
, one of the main links between the Casa Rosada and Kirchnerism, as well as Máximo Kirchner and Sergio Massa: the Minister of the Interior will travel to Tucumán, Salta and Catamarca.
They call it "federal week."
The previous days, before the start of the ban that prohibits government acts aimed at capturing the vote until PASO, had been centered in Greater Buenos Aires.
With an unusual display of unity motivated by the Olivos scandal:
Cristina Kirchner, Fernández, Máximo Kirchner, Massa and Axel Kicillof took the same stage on Tuesday and Wednesday
, in Avellaneda and La Plata, respectively.
A symptom of
the front's need to prioritize internal cohesion over the tensions
that corrode the coalition.
Beyond the tour of the interior, for the Frente de Todos the province of Buenos Aires is still the central objective of the campaign.

Victoria Tolosa Paz -participated this Saturday in the Tres de Febrero event together with the head of the block of Deputies of the ruling party, Massa and De Pedro- will go through the fifth, second, first and eighth electoral sections this week.
In line with the urgency of propping up the strategy to reduce the difference with the opposition in the Buenos Aires Senate, a request from the governor at Wednesday's ceremony in La Plata.
For the Casa Rosada it is also essential that the officials of the central administration focus on the campaign.
To show the supposed "goals" to which the President alluded in the Buenos Aires capital, twenty-four hours after the vice president pointed out that the Government could only "stop penalties."
Is not easy.
The presidential collaborators asked, for case, that the internal transcendent ends
. The demotivation runs through the entire cabinet: it happens that a good part of the ministers and secretaries of state who do not have even a tenth of the centrality of Cristina Kirchner also demand, like her, that the head of state put "order".
