After the

resounding defeat

of the Frente de Todos in the PASO last Sunday, sectors linked to the national government began to demand changes in Alberto Fernández's Cabinet.

Now it was a powerful voice: Andrés "Cuervo" Larroque, Minister of Community Development for Axel Kicillof in the province of Buenos Aires and one of the original generals of the La Cámpora group forged by Máximo Kirchner.

"We have to take charge of who we are.

We are Peronists and we have to solve people's lives

," said Larroque and stated that "we

must re-profile the Frente de Todos

."

And he added: "In 2009

Aníbal (Fernández)

and

Amado (Boudou)

entered the Cabinet Office and Economy. In 2013,

Coqui (Capitanich)

and

Axel (Kicillof)

entered

.

These are things that require us to react with reflexes

and listen to the people." .

He was talking about K's reaction to electoral disputes.

It was not necessary for it to be explicit with a request for new airs: it was clear with the comparison of what Cristina Kirchner did during her term, in a post-shock electoral scenario, such as the one the President is experiencing today.

"In 2009 and 2013 we lived in very difficult situations and we always came out with politics with the people and with economic and social measures," he reviewed and

pointed out, without naming them, 

against Santiago Cafiero and Martín Guzmán.

Larroque came to highlight the need to "listen" to what was expressed at the polls and analyze "without blaming," and then be "more forceful in the redistribution of income" and "take the corresponding measures that solve the problems of the people."

As

Kicillof's emissary

, the Buenos Aires minister was one of the protagonists of the urgent meeting on the third floor of bunker K, after the defeat.

There were Máximo Kirchner, Eduardo "Wado" De Pedro - head of the national portfolio of the Interior and another camper of shaft -, with the ally and president of the Chamber of Deputies Sergio Massa.

And also the two ministers of Alberto Fernández who respond to him in the suburbs: Juan Zabaleta and Gabriel Katopodis.

It's the economy

"In economics, the main

thing

appears

,

" said Larroque, insisting that it is necessary to "rebuild income," in an interview with the official media 

El Uncover Radio

"People can forgive a thousand things to Peronism, but

not that it does not rebuild income

. Peronism has to do Peronism. We have to reprofile the Frente de Todos; if there is something that we must not give up, it is our ideas," he said.

He also said that "the weighting of health policy and everything that faced the pandemic was perhaps

not valued or failed to compensate for

an economic situation that is obviously very difficult."

However, Larroque remarked that "the message from the polls is that,

we must not be afraid or hesitate

, we must realize that we are Peronists and the Peronists solve problems for the people."

In this sense, he analyzed that "it is necessary to

be more forceful

in the distribution of income."

"We cannot stay in an intermediate place between the people and the corporations. We must deepen the policies of the popular movement and make the difference with neoliberalism more clear," he said.

According to his vision, in this election "there was not a triumph of the neoliberal model" but "a demand that our policies be clearer."

Evaluating the campaign in terms of numbers, he said "it

's reversible (sic)

."

"If you look at the numbers of people who did not vote, the places where we decreased are the districts that, in general, accompanied us. We

must re-motivate

that sector of the electorate," he continued.

However, he considered that

"there was no growth of macrismo"

since in his view "they kept their numbers", but he understood that he did not go to vote "the number that always did."
