The K offensive seeks to veto Alberto Fernández to carry out the PASO with a unique formula

2023-02-01T02:17:23.566Z


Neither Cristina Kirchner nor La Cámpora want Alberto Fernández to continue with his re-election project.


The renewed

tension between Kirchnerism and Alberto Fernández

is destroying one of the principles promoted by the contenders themselves: the preservation of the unity of the Frente de todos to face this year's elections.

No one in that universe seems to want to stay close to

a government that won't come out of its slide

.

The group that most frequently navigates that intentional contradiction is La Cámpora.

One of its gestural architects is Eduardo De Pedro.

The Minister of the Interior maintained in the last hours that he is not "willing to pay" to the public discussion that confronts him with the President.

That conflict arose in viscous fashion.

The leader of Mercedes slipped into hiding (an

off the record

that he never denied) that the president "lacks codes" for not having allowed him to participate in the meeting that Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, held last week with rights organizations humans.

It was within the framework of the CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) summit.

The "mentor of the codes" is the same as in September 2021, after the defeat in the legislatures,

he publicly launched his resignation without the President knowing

.

He triggered, by order of Cristina Fernández, a cabinet crisis.

His behavior, in this regard, always appears more sneaky than the rest of the camp team.

Andrés Larroque, the general secretary of La Cámpora is, in this aspect, frontal.

Sometimes wild

.

His opinions, in addition to being a reflection of the vice president's thinking, almost always anticipate some course of action.

Now it indicates that the presidential figure is once again at the heart of the Kirchnerist radar.

The Minister of Social Development of Buenos Aires deployed a battery of arguments against Alberto similar to the one put forward by Máximo Kirchner in the sepia spiel, by way of an interview, broadcast last weekend.

The President would be putting the front unit at risk for not having understood

"as it should be" the link between him and Cristina

and the role that he had ahead of him.

"He was given a very big opportunity," Larroque said.

As if the internal story was concluded on the threshold of the election year.

The Buenos Aires minister did not save anything.

He maintained that the official coalition "is mired in a very demotivating and confusing situation."

He explained: “Cristina was very intelligent in giving up the leadership of the Front in order to integrate it with the more moderate sector that Alberto represented.

And Alberto ruled as if he represented the majority sector of society.

There was a great sense of irresponsibility there

, ”he said.

Maximo and Larroque, like De Pedro, insist that we should continue "betting on unity."

It seems clear that

in this objective there would be no future place for the President

.

Both explained that the important thing in the coming months will be to "improve the management" of the Government.

Behind this war of words an ordering of the pro-government electoral course can be hidden.

Neither Cristina nor La Cámpora want Alberto to continue with his re-election project

.

They consider this to be a disturbing fantasy that would weaken the Front.

For what reason?.

Because the President, in order to preserve until the end a bit of the almost non-existent power that remains to him, is engaged in a broad competition in the PASO where he, even predictably defeated, he can participate.

Cristina and camporismo seem inclined to shape another format.

Participate in the PASO, as in 2015, although with a previously agreed formula.

So it was with Daniel Scioli and Carlos Zannini.

It was repeated with Alberto and Cristina.

Tending to preserve, they argue, the internal front.

No presidential candidacy would fit into this scheme.

The debate is not closed.

In fact, he was part of the deliberations of the meeting that brought Sergio Massa together in the suburbs (Merlo), with Máximo, De Pedro and Axel Kicillof.

The return to recipes that did not give good results seems on many levels to be a political characteristic of Kirchner's thought.

Or did Máximo not deploy in his proposed statements for a very uncertain future with his gaze fixed on the beginning of the last century?

The anger that he showed for the existence of the Internet is resonant

.

It happens that electoral competition does not represent, a priori, any guarantee for a leadership rooted in political personalism.

It's worth refreshing.

The law for Open, Simultaneous and Compulsory Primary Elections (PASO)

was promoted by the Kirchner couple in 2009 after being defeated

in the legislative elections.

Since then, for the presidential elections, Kirchnerism-Peronism never put them into practice.

The only precedent was without law: it was starred by Carlos Menem and Antonio Cafiero.

It meant the second partial renewal of Peronism.

The first was after the beating inflicted by Raúl Alfonsín in 1983, with the return of democracy.

The problem for Kirchnerism is now focused on the search for a synthesis.

You are facing a serious problem.

Peronism has been subsumed in recent decades.

It does not have competitive candidates.

Nobody appears in a league of governors that is not even articulated.

La Cámpora's offer is circumscribed, with extreme modesty, to the figure of De Pedro.

Prowled by social leaders, from the profile of Juan Grabois.

No survey shows the interior minister in a position to head a list.

Instead, he could be the testimonial companion of a candidate with greater volume.

Where does it exist, apart from Cristina, in the ruling party?

Hence the irruption of the governor of Chaco, Jorge Capitanich, suggesting that the electoral wealth that the vice president still retains should not be wasted.

An alternative, rather discarded than virtuous,

is represented by the Minister of Economy

.

The "imaginary Alberto" of this time, according to the words of front-line shipowners.

The limits are in its past and in the management itself.

He has said, by way of defense, that he received the country in a "coma."

His administration, he believes, would have placed him on "intensive care."

He can return to the previous situation at any time.

Massa has a determining factor of magnitude: inflation that escalates again at the beginning of the electoral year.

He is walking away from the 4% he promised for March.

He adds other difficulties that would not be in view.

Let's look at Máximo again: he has just proposed again the ignorance of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Renegotiate the terms in which it was sealed.

It is the only road map of the minister.

The son of the vice president is said to be an ally of the minister.

Also, reluctantly, Kicillof.

They will be as long as inflation does not take flight again.

There all Massa's daydreams can end.
