The defeat of the Frente de Todos was of such magnitude in the province of Buenos Aires that on the same Sunday night several of the most powerful Peronist mayors of the Conurbano began to talk to each other to try to
devise some common strategy
that would allow them to "make the skulls and skulls of the Patria Institute that the problem is not only Alberto (Fernández) but, and above all, the management of Axel Kicillof ", says one of them still surprised by the resounding fall.
The communal chiefs coincide with a drastic diagnosis for the generals in November.
"Where are we going to look for the vote to be able to overcome something?
At the municipal level, it is likely that we can attract some support from the radicalism hurt by the loss of Manes and handcuff something from the parties that did not reach the ground. But at the provincial level, It is all more or less cooked.
What's more, Together it can grow a little more "
, they warn.
The differences between the Peronist mayors of Greater Buenos Aires and Alex Kicillof started the same day that the Governor took office.
There was never a feeling and the communal chiefs assure that they never received samples of teamwork
.
"From the Homeland they put together a provincial cabinet without inviting us to participate. They almost never consult us about the problems we have, much less are they interested in how we see the reality of management or even politics," remarks one of the municipal chiefs of the South.
Local bosses look beyond November.
Even several accept that little can be done to reverse.
But what worries them the most is what will come next, looking at 2023. And they reject the accusations that make them part of the harsh Kirchnerism about the little commitment to deploy the municipal apparatus to defend the official vote.
"If this continues,
the wave of the punishment vote takes us all.
There are many municipal administrations of the PJ that are very good and will not survive. The wave is going to swallow them. And Kicillof seems armored, he does not get one bullet. Obviously they are targeting Alberto, but: what about the officials that he recontracts do not work in the provincial cabinet? "asks another local chief from the West.
They also reproach Kicillof for
having "erased" a good part of the campaign.
Not having gone to the media to defend the management.
"They chose with Máximo to close in Bahía Blanca to see if they could add a provincial senator, but they ended up losing in that district due to a terrible beating," indicates another of the mayors.
It is true that in the face of each mid-term fall of Kirchnerist Peronism, as happened in 2017, 2013 and 2009, communal chiefs in general tend to point to provincial or national issues without placing so much emphasis on their own responsibilities.
The Matanzas case
An example is
La Matanza
, the municipality governed by Fernando Espinoza. There, on Sunday, there was a
historic decline
in the number of voters. They were only 62% of the almost 900,000 voters. "That one vote is also noted against the municipal management. Not to mention that there was no device to fetch voters in disadvantaged places.
We must put an eye to the lack of commitment to social movements.
In the Homeland had assured that they would collaborate to bring the people to the vote. "
A fact:
La Matanza only gave the Frente de Todos 120,000 more votes than those obtained by Juntos.
While San Isidro and Vicente López gave 130,000 more votes to Cambiemos than those gathered by Kirchnerism. In other words, two of the smallest municipalities in the GBA were more decisive for the opposition than La Matanza for the ruling party.
