The war of two devalued sides returns: the K squeezes and Alberto's replicas

2023-01-18T01:46:14.127Z


The President criticized those who questioned the agreement with the IMF. Kirchnerism presses against Justice and Massa tries the 'epic' of lowering inflation with the collaboration of truckers.


Without as much public uproar as in the past, the President and his albertismo and Cristina Fernández and her kirchnerismo

have resumed domestic hostilities.

The absence of sonority, perhaps, responds to two reasons.

This is a constant that has characterized the Government of the Frente de Todos during these three years.

Fatigue.

The warring factions, on the other hand, are in frank political decline.

In particular, since the vice president anticipated -we will have to wait for the final decision- that she will not be a candidate for anything in this year's elections.

Alberto must have detected that a new barrage would fall on him.

Hence the harsh reference that he had against Kirchnerism during an act that he shared with Daniel Filmus on Monday to announce the launch of projects on Science and Technology.

He warned that

"when everyone raised the Apocalypse and said that the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was going to stop projects, adjust, the economy grows, jobs increase and science and technology have their budget."

As usually happens with his improvisations, the presidential word usually accumulates some clear and many dark ones.

The mention of the alleged Apocalypse had an unmistakable addressee.

No one remembers that Together for Change objected in those terms to the negotiation with the IMF.

Thanks to their votes in Congress, the pact with the financial body that still enables Sergio Massa's economic surfing was approved.

The same did not happen with Kirchnerism.

Deputy Máximo Kirchner resigned, on that occasion, from the leadership of a block that was mortally wounded.

His public diagnosis was the one that Alberto described a few hours ago.

The same one that, with discretion and silence, was shared by his mother, the vice president, and the governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof.

No one can ensure that the presidential intervention was coordinated with the reappearance of Martín Guzmán.

Although, under an objective conceptual reading, they felt more or less the same.

Pointing to identical political terminals.

The ex-minister of Economy was more offensive.

He spoke of the Kirchnerist

"apology of ignorance"

in the face of the rejection of the agreement with the IMF.

Some replica of the Instituto Patria will come.

On Sunday, coincidentally, a new pressure from Kirchnerism against Alberto had begun.

In a report published by the newspaper

Pagina 12,

the piquetera Milagro Sala demanded that the president release him.

It is understood:

the pardon.

There would be no other way because the Jujuy leader is serving (at her home) a final sentence of 13 years in prison established by the Oral Criminal Court 3 of the province.

Confirmed by the Supreme Court of the Nation.

The case labeled "Pibes Villeros" alludes to

the crimes of illicit association, fraudulent administration and extortion.

Nor would that procedure be relevant for a reason.

The presidential pardon power

applies only to federal crimes.

In this case, it happened in Jujuy.

A minor detail that could perfectly be ignored by the turbulent Kirchnerist praxis.

The case of Sala has different edges depending on the crystal of the Kirchnerist gaze.

There would be a political plane that points to the electoral journey.

In the middle appears the governor of Jujuy, the radical Gerardo Morales, launched into the presidential race in the opposition coalition.

The K maintain that the ramified relations that the provincial president maintains with the ruling party would constitute a shield against the Tupac Amaru leader.

Those ramifications would penetrate albertismo. 

There would be another link: the one that would unite Morales with Massa, the Minister of Economy.

It is also a subject of permanent debate between the PRO and radicalism.

There would also be another political-institutional level.

Disregard a sentence of the Court that made the sentence of Chamber final when the ruling party is trying to start the trial against the Highest Court in Congress.

With pearls for all tastes.

Among the participants in the show is Baltasar Garzón, who still has a sentence and disqualification for 11 years as a magistrate.

Amen to the expulsion of him from the race.

Reasons?

Very familiar to Argentina.

Illegal wiretapping that, according to the Spanish Supreme Court, "is only found in totalitarian regimes."

Jorge Capitanich also made a last-minute contribution.

He argued that if the opposition consummates an institutional blockade, preventing action against the Court, the President should resort to a Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) to, at least, expand the number of members of the Court and achieve the comprehensive reform of the Council of the Magistracy.

It would mean another push into the void for Alberto.

It remains to be seen if the ruling party finally manages to launch the impeachment commission in the last week of this month.

Nothing that happens, inside and outside the Government, would collaborate with the urgent need to calm things down.

All have an impact on an economy with overflowing inflation.

On the other hand, they reveal the permanent contradiction that surrounds Massa.

The Minister of Economy pretends to be far from politics and the campaign.

Dedicated only to management.

He disowns anyone who talks about his candidacy.

Reality finds out.

He does not speak of the prosecution to the Court but he ordered his three deputies to integrate the special commission.

He promises inflation of 4% or below that rate for March.

The December indicator was above 5%.

The first half of January would not leave much room for optimism either.

Its Secretary of Commerce, Matías Tombolini, from the Renewal Front, consummated an agreement with Pablo Moyano's union, the truckers, to carry out price controls.

They will be in the City and, for now, in tourist places of the AMBA.

Will Massa suppose that this mechanism would seriously help to lower inflation?

Won't it end up making the climate even more rare than it is?

Won't it encourage scenes of pressure and threats?

Perhaps, although the literal analogy does not work, something similar to the impeachment against the Court will occur.

The Economy Minister is being forced to give in to Kirchnerist pressure.

His economic situation, difficult to discuss and digest for the K,

must be masked by some epic of the struggle that the story always demands.
