The former Minister of Planning said that the President would get only 7% in the elections and demanded a definition: "He has to say what the hell he wants to do."


Julio

De Vido turned on the fan

this Monday against the Frente de Todos, in an interview in which he was

lapidary with the figure of Alberto Fernández

and described as

"finished"

his relationship with

Cristina Kirchner

, whose cabinet he integrated in the two terms.

Without filters, he called the President a "zafarrancho",

assured that he would get 7% in the 2023 elections and demanded a definition: "He has to say

what the hell he wants to do

."

He also questioned

Sergio Massa

, in addition to casting

doubt on the political table

that Fernández convened.

"I have never seen such an absence of the party at the heart of national politics and society. The table should have three legs: Alberto, Cristina and Massa. But I do not see it. As long as it does not

occur

,

the table is going to make water

. The one that is missing will not be a crack but a loss of pressure in a tire:

it will not have volume

, "said the former Federal Planning Minister, convicted of his responsibility in the Once tragedy.

"Personal political positions are only discussed for the purpose of being a candidate," he added about the call made by the chief executive after pressure from Kirchnerism, who, however, will attend this Thursday without two of his main swords: Cristina and Máximo Kirchner, although yes with Wado de Pedro.

The former national deputy at the time outraged by his leafy judicial front of cases related to corruption, also warned about the possible performance of the ruling party in the presidential elections: he asserted that it is on the brink of a "major electoral catastrophe.

"

"The inmate between Menem and Cafiero gave Peronism the necessary strength to win in 1988 (

sic

). Unfortunately we are not seeing that. At that time Angeloz (of radicalism) took 38% after Alfonsín's hyperinflation. If we do not manage to consolidate lists, from councilors to presidents, in the eyes of the society of

colleagues who did not go to vote in 2021

we are facing the possibility of a major electoral catastrophe," he warned.

And in this regard, he concluded: "Everyone should feel represented by those who make up the list.

This is not the time for the enlightened or for the finger

."

Julio De Vido, very hard against Alberto Fernández: "I wouldn't vote for him and neither would the people"

De Vido was again very critical of the President.

"I'm nobody to say what Alberto has to say. Frankly, he seems like a mess to me," said the one who came to the national government from Santa Cruz together with the Kirchners.

He said that he did not feel "represented at all" by the formulas that the Frente de Todos presented in 2021, so he did not go to vote.

"It was

disrespectful

," he said about the preparation of the lists for the midterm elections.

"It's a mess. By looking at the polls, all it does is disperse the will of those who could be natural voters of Peronism wherever they are.

The experience of the Frente de Todos is over

," he said in dialogue with

Radio 10

.

"As Massa said, from what I heard, the President has to define

what the hell he wants to do

, whether he wants to be a candidate or not," he added.

And he launched a comparison similar to the current television times: "That uncertainty is not like

the prolegomena of Big Brother

, to see who comes out and who doesn't, that is a show or a reality show. This

is not a reality show

, it is playing with the life, interests and freedom of many Argentines".

Immediately, he underlined his opinion: "I

would not vote for Alberto Fernández and I think neither would people

, because the polls say that he would get less than 7%"


"The mistake is not Alberto's

but who chose him

, he did not generate confidence in me. I do not like obsequiousness and I recognize Cristina's leadership, but

Cristina was wrong in the choice

. Many of us knew what was going to happen," continued the former Minister.

"The choice was horrible, it was terrible. We knew that

this pairing was not going to work

," he said, in case there was a lack of clarity.


Julio de Vido, about Cristina Kirchner: the numbers that do not close and the "terminated relationship"

In other sections, the former national official referred to his political boss: he questioned his electoral possibilities and commented that the relationship between the two can

no longer be reversed

.

"I don't know if she got off any candidacy. She said that she was getting off. She spoke of proscription, which is a success in political terms. Within the framework of the stigmatization of

this

persecution

that all

opponents of Macri suffer, it gives you enormous possibilities of be a candidate", began De Vido.

"If you look at the polls, she is the leader who measures the most in space, but that is not what is later reflected in a victory of 40% of votes to win the elections," he said about the current vice president's voting intention.

The former minister went through the entire history of Kirchnerism.

He now criticizes from the outside.

Although

he denied that he felt abandoned

by Kirchnerism in his judicial drift, he continued with the questions and ruled that his relationship with the former national president is over.

"

I haven't talked to Cristina for many years

, personally it's a finished relationship," said De Vido.

He precisely remembered the date the dialogue was cut off:

April 2017

.


The suit of Sergio Massa, the mastery of Agustín Rossi and the irony of Daniel Scioli 

"From what is seen today, Massa seems to be the most rational candidate and with the most presence. But unfortunately

the results in terms of inflation are not seen

. If inflation does not drop below 3 points, obviously there is a huge impediment," he said. De Vido tried on the clothes of a candidate for the Minister of Economy.

"The way things are today, it seems to me that I don't vote for him," he clarified his distance from the proposals of the leader of the Renewal Front.

"But in terms of position and effectiveness, I am not telling you that he is my candidate, but it seems to me that he appears with a halo of greater support. He is like a kind of interlocutor and mediator between Alberto and Cristina," he continued.

As he passed, he also crossed paths with the next chief of staff: "Now they have incorporated Agustín

Rossi, who is a master when it comes to going from one place to another

."

Julio De Vido said that Sergio Massa is the natural candidate of the Frente de Todos, but for now he would not vote for him.

From there he went on to subtract credit from a possible application of Daniel

Scioli

.

"I also

have an aunt who wants to be a candidate

...", De Vido ironized.

"Let's be serious!"

Finally, he returned to show his pessimism.

"If there is no agreement, we will have to look for an internal one, even if the internal one means that we lose. If there is no internal one, it is not elucidated in popular terms who will be a candidate, we are headed for a catastrophe, not a defeat."

In the volley, he even tied up the camporista De Pedro, a faithful bishop of the vice president installed in the cabinet.

"

Wado cannot represent

Cristina at the Peronism table,

let's not blow our balls

"
