There is a foreseeable and sung flurry of guilt in the Government:
all the bills go to Alberto Fernández's account and none to Cristina's account.
Drawer: if the Frente de Todos won, the winner would be Cristina and if she lost, the culprit would be Fernández.
A classic of classics.
But Fernández is rebelling against that fate, although
no one knows for how long.
Knowing it, it is a more than reasonable doubt.
On Sunday around midnight, in an act that had begun as a celebration and ended with a wake, the President stood or planted what he could.
He arrived last and announced to Massa and a Cristina with a disgusted face and barely greeted him:
"I'm going to be the only speaker."
Without putting himself in penance, he said that “nothing is more important than listening to the people”, that “we obviously know that there are mistakes that we have made and that we should not have made” and “that from tomorrow we will take care of paying attention to them”.
The way to pay attention, at least for now,
will be to launch some economic measures.
Point.
He decided it with three closest ministers: Cafiero, Katopodis and Zabaleta.
Nothing changes in the cabinet as Cristina pushes
, who in the Senate met in parallel with her son Máximo and Wado de Pedro.
Fernández has two compelling reasons to resist the changes.
One is to prevent Cristina from imposing the ministers on her:
it would turn against her
.
The other is that
now he thinks that he became too kirchnerized
and wants or says he wants to return to the center, as at the beginning.
The antecedents of these two years also raise reasonable doubts.
Returning to the center is the opposite of what hard Kirchnerism demands, which attributes the electoral debacle to Fernández's lukewarmness.
Nobody doubts that they say things that are what Cristina thinks.
For example, the piquetero Juan Grabois, who copied Cristina and said that there are ministers "who do not work." For his own he added: a chief of staff "who is not a chief" and a world of "frivolous" officials.
From the very packaged Cavanagh building where she lives, the former ambassador Alicia Castro spoke. Imagine
"a popular clamor"
demanding "the nationalization of foreign trade and the end of the concession of the Paraná waterway."
All that remains is to ask for the nationalization of the bank.
Also lost in time, from Ensenada, another ultra Cristinista, Mayor Secco, denounced an unusual maneuver by Fernández: "hiding Kirchnerism."
There are things that only Secco can think of.
But there is someone who looks the other way and for the moment
manages to be seen little in the middle of this hunt
: Governor Kicillof. Against the previous STEP, the ruling party fell 19 percentage points in the province.
Or, what is the same: he lost almost 2,200,000 votes.
And that despite the fact that since he took office, he received tons of money from Fernández
outside the budget
and privileged treatment in social plans and public works.
If something influenced to go under in the PASO was the economic failure.
It is the failure of Guzmán but also
the failure of ideas of Kicillof
: from the super stocks to the dollar to the control of prices and the ban on meat exports.
Inflation has returned to the 50% zone and everyone knows what it implies, starting with the poorest sectors, that is, the voters who are
the heart of Kirchnerism
.
In that GBA that lives behind, we have
the highest poverty in the country: no less than 51%, 6.3 million people.
And we also have Kicillof.

A result that demolishes the legends of Cristina as an "infallible strategist" and Máximo as a "great political cadre"
Martín Guzmán leans on Alberto Fernández to resist the crossfire
