After a few months of pax negotiated, the tension between hardline Kirchnerism and
Alberto Fernández once again escalated
to levels similar to those of the middle of last year and to those after the 2021 legislative elections.
After
Clarín
revealed an open internship between Eduardo "Wado" de Pedro" and the President for not having invited him to a meeting with
Lula da Silva
, it was
Máximo Kirchner
who stirred up the noise again with statements critical of Fernández and in defense of his mother,
Cristina Kirchner
.
In an interview with the ultra-Kirchner portal El Cohete a la Luna,
the head of La Cámpora detailed how the coexistence between the President and the vice president was in these three years of management
.

"After the pandemic, Cristina began to mark some things in the economic field and the President took it badly. I, who have always been there, can tell you that
Cristina never mistreated Alberto. She treated him between cotton
," said Máximo .
"It's tougher with Wado (from Pedro), with Mayra (Mendoza), with Cuervo (Larroque), with me, it's more spicy there… But he never yelled at Alberto. Now, are you firm in discussions? Of course, yes ," he launched, comparing the way of linking up between Cristina and Alberto, on the one hand, and with leaders of La Cámpora, on the other.
Máximo redoubled the attack against the Casa Rosada, in this sense, declaring that "it was the Government itself that installed these versions."
He also said that "now they all look distracted and it's not like that", adding that "it was very difficult for him to work on that bond, to be there, and I did it among other reasons because I want things to go well".
Without giving names, the deputy of the Frente de Todos was very harsh with "
minor characters, who appear, without any type of political discussion
, training or humility, and then things begin to get worse despite what we worked so that it did not happen ".
And he added: "I am very surprised by the comrade President, who was so critical of the government between 2010 and 2015, when we were doing much better in economic terms, that
now he is so closed to the voice of another comrade,
that he also broke his back to let him be President."
In another part of the interview, Kirchner dedicated himself exclusively to defending his mother from the numerous legal cases she is facing.
And he launched a defiant statement towards the role of the Judiciary: "
With the Justice that we have, if Cristina wanted to run for the elections, they would remove the firm sentence in five minutes
."
The reference pointed to the Highway Administration file, in which Cristina was sentenced to six years in prison and disqualified from holding public office, but which has not yet been validated by a higher court.
"They thought that the ridicule and stigmatization to which Cristina was subjected between 2016 and 2019 were going to get her off the court. They made her testify in eight cases on the same day. They believed that it would be enough, to wear her down, mistreat her , scare everyone who came near. But it went wrong and the election was won in 2019. Which made Macri the first non-reelected President: a guy who had the sum of public and private power, whom the IMF He gave him 45,000 green sticks, which the Judicial Power used at will and also the services to spy," shot Máximo, strengthening his darts against Justice and the Cambiemos government.
It was there that he took advantage again to hit the President.
"
The one who has a fundamental role in this matter, which cannot be avoided, is Alberto Fernández
, President of the Nation and also president of the Justicialista Party, beyond our debates, discussions and differences. The responsibility - which he decided to assume, because he did not He was forced to the place where he is- he is in his hands", he gave him in the interview.
Renegotiation with the IMF
In another section, Kirchner spoke of the need to form a political table to sit down to discuss a renegotiation of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund and asked to review the agreement with the IMF.
"That maturity curve only goes up in time, and those dollars that we have to send to the IMF are the ones that our companies lack," he said.
Casa Rosada sources linked to the President sought to tone down the conflict
.
And they repeated, with annoyance, an idea that is worrying in the face of the election year.
"This stupidity of the intern, the only thing it does is take away our chances in the elections. We had a spectacular week with CELAC and we didn't take advantage of it," they maintain.
And they see a political opportunity in the current context.
"Now that we have Juntos por el Cambio messy, we feed him. Larreta doesn't get up, he gets nervous, Bullrich is better than him but he doesn't have his structure, Macri comes and goes," summarizes the internal cambiemita.
"Wado" revived the internal K
The prelude to the criticism of Máximo Kirchner occurred at the end of a week in which
differences between President Alberto Fernández and Pedro's "Wado" Interior Minister were exposed
. Although he did not say it out of his own mouth, The official's entourage complained about Fernández's "lack of codes" for not inviting him to a meeting with Lula da Silva and representatives of Human Rights organizations, which took place within the framework of the Celac summit, to which attended by the president of Brazil.
On Saturday, it was the Minister of Security Aníbal Fernández who came out in defense of the President.
“What Wado said seems horrifying to me.
Since when has the President had to explain himself to him?" Aníbal said in a radio interview with AM 750.

Aníbal was tougher with his cabinet pair.
"If you want to compete, compete. He stands on the sidewalk in front. What needs to be clarified is that once and for all you have to stop kidding yourself,
Peronist presidents are elected by popular will, it has never been otherwise.
And when the Peronist president exercises the other, if you don't like it, you have to shut your mouth and get to work," he accused.
