After the act of national closure of the Frente de Todos in Tecnópolis, the President of the Nation secluded himself in the residence of Olivos with his main collaborators and the Vice President flew to the south of the country, where he will vote in the primary elections this Sunday.
Alberto Ángel Fernández received his Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, after noon, along with his Secretary of Communication, Juan Pablo Biondi, and the Secretary General of the Presidency, Julio Vitobello.
That inner circle of the head of state is at
stake a
lot in these STEP
: after the effects of Olivosgate subsided, he supported his team and with them, defined his last movements in the campaign to regain centrality and reviewed the numbers of polls and polls that approached him each day of the last week.
The preparation of the movements for next Sunday are adjusted in Olivos with a focus on the methodological as well as the political.
On the afternoon of this Friday, there will be a meeting of those in charge of communication from the Frente de Todos
, where they coexist from the national secretary Juan Pablo Biondi to Hernán Reibel, Cristina and Máximo Kirchner's trusted man for communication matters.
Reibel has held this role since Cristina's last term and maintained it during the macrista administration, installed at the headquarters of the Patria Institute as well as in the Senate and in the Deputies, where the vice president and the head of the bloc of national Deputies of the FdT have their offices. .
Alberto Fernández closed the act of the Frente de Todos in Tecnópolis.
Sergio Tomás Massa, another of the leaders of the ruling coalition, will also participate in the communication appointment, who also tired his phone by contacting consultants and political analysts, with last minute electoral data.
The prevailing idea on the Peronist front was to receive the first official data on Sunday with a measured attitude.
"They will not see big celebrations or anything like that,"
one of the President's main collaborators told Clarín, regarding what will be experienced on Sunday in the bunker of the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Chacarita.
The idea that arises from Olivos is that "on Monday the campaign begins in earnest"
because the result of the primaries will determine the true state of the ruling force, how much the electoral potential of Together for Change will rise in the province of Buenos Aires, the real dimension of electoral participation and the percentage of blank votes;
These last two points are a mystery to unveil both for the ruling party and for the opposition.
Meanwhile, Cristina Kirchner is in Santa Cruz to vote and after that, she will fly to the City of Buenos Aires, to be in Complex C of Chacarita, which will allocate her top floor -as in the 2019 election- in her own office , a few meters from Alberto Fernández's.
The closing of the Frente de Todos campaign in Tecnópolis
Close to the vice president, they analyzed an electoral scenario in the province of Buenos Aires that was slightly looser
than the numbers handled by the President, very similar to those collected by Sergio Massa. This scenario is lower than the Buenos Aires number for the 2019 election but it would result in a triumph over the coalition led by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Mauricio Macri. But that more optimistic vision in the province of Buenos Aires is not the same at the country level, since they
see an inevitable loss in the number of senators that CFK currently has
in the Upper House,
Meanwhile, in Sergio Massa's payments in Tigre, they repeated like a mantra:
"It will be the same as in 2019. We won the North of the country, we lost the Center and we won Patagonia
.
"
The center of the country means Mendoza, Córdoba, the City of Buenos Aires and the still dubious Santa Fe and Entre Ríos. In these last two provinces the electoral fight is open and it is not known how the dispute will end. In Santa Fe, the internal dispute that the ruling party is experiencing (Omar Perotti versus Agustín Rossi) is also followed in detail in the national Peronist leadership.
There was also movement this Friday at the headquarters of the UCA (Argentine Catholic University) in Puerto Madero because
at 9 am on Sunday Alberto Fernández will vote there
.
The presidential organization reviewed details of how this movement will be, for security aspects and current protocols for COVID.
Thus he will repeat the same of 2019 with the difference that then he will go to the residence of Olivos and not, to the department of Puerto Madero where the current president lived.
