After strong pressure from
La Cámpora
and the sector most closely linked to
Cristina Kirchner
within the Frente de Todos, President
Alberto Fernández
finally gave in and called a political table for the 2023 elections. But the first condition arrived.
"
We must establish a position on the ban on Cristina
," said Senator
Mariano Recalde,
one of the leaders of the group led by Máximo Kirchner.
"We have great expectations,
we want to know what the President's proposal is in terms of strategy
. He convened this table, he is the one who leads the Justicialista Party, who leads the Executive Power and who has the greatest responsibility to think the best strategy to continue on this path, deepen it and that the right wing does not return to Argentina," Recalde remarked this Saturday.
Although he first pointed out that he had no previous proposals to take to the meeting for which he has "great expectations", Recalde assured: "We have been saying for a long time that it is a political alliance that was built on three legs, with an indisputable leadership who was the one who proposed , got off but contributed the majority of the votes which is Cristina".

"Without a doubt they have to be in tune, in permanent dialogue and participating in all decisions. It is already a matter that exceeds one and we are going to wait for this to start working better and better," said the national senator on AM 750 In addition, he said that if the political table had been convened before, today it would have another power.
And he launched the conditioning to the political table of Alberto Fernández: "There is no electoral strategy with a proscription, we cannot agree to think of an electoral strategy already conditioned because such or such a comrade cannot be a candidate, because suddenly the Judicial Party commanded from a very important in the country decide that it cannot be presented".
More Kirchnerists ask for a pronouncement from the political table
The first meeting of the national political table that Alberto Fernández convened will be this Thursday and there are already other Kirchnerista leaders who are asking for a pronouncement on Cristina's judicial situation.
"The issue of the ban has to be central in the debates at the political table. We cannot continue making comments or expressing wishes when we are in government," Yasky said in statements to Futurock online radio.
Hugo Yasky also asks that the political table pronounce itself.

In this way, the union leader referred to the sentence of six years in prison and disqualification from holding public office that the ex-president received for corruption, in the trial of the Roads case.
The head of the CTA assured that the FdT is "in a position to defeat the right electorally" and considered that "the great challenge is to synthesize a common initiative" to present to the electorate.
"I refuse to believe that Cristina is off the field. In the province of Buenos Aires our candidate is (Governor Axel) Kicilof and for me, Cristina must lead our formula (in the national order)," he said.
In addition, the union referent indicated that "it would be an act of feigning insanity to sit down and talk about candidacies when we have our main candidate outlawed."
