'Get off', the order that Alberto Fernández does not want to accept

2023-02-18T01:06:11.910Z


For a long time, Cristina Kirchner has been repeating her plan for the 2023 elections in private: Neither me nor him.


Kirchnerism's message to the President of the Nation pierced, loud and clear, the walls of the PJ headquarters, where on Friday morning he found 33 ruling party leaders trying to come to an agreement.

"We want you to get out of re-election, and if you don't, we're going to convince Cristina to run herself to beat you in PASO."

That is

a way of summarizing the center of the claim

, if all the simulation of setting up a commission, of denouncing the banning of the vice president, of setting up delegations and of negotiating a document from the Frente de Todos is removed from the middle.

For some time now, Cristina

has wanted to impose a ban so that neither of the two members of the presidential ticket can run

for re-election, but she always clashes with Alberto Fernández: the President knows that giving up his candidacy will be quite similar to giving up his position in the pink House.

That is the essential drama of the Frente de Todos.

Cristina Kirchner already calculated in 2019 that she had no chance of being president again and today, with

four years of a failed administration

on her back and record levels of unpopularity for her own history, the scenario is even more adverse for her. .

Despite this, she retains a strength that makes her unbeatable among the voters of Peronism in Buenos Aires and in the north of the country and that, in turn, makes her the undisputed head of any Peronist experiment.

The President, in turn, considers that, even beaten, he can stand in the Front of All to challenge Kirchnerism with an invitation: "

Bring someone who is taller than me and I'll get off

. "

Fernández gained courage when La Cámpora served him a very useful fight for his own image on a platter: in politics

it is always convenient to argue with leaders who are more unpopular than one

.

That is why the President has been careful not to confront Cristina in public for a long time.

“We cannot turn this into a fight between Peronism and Kirchnerism.

Now, if we fight with La Cámpora, we are going to have many Kirchnerists who hate them on our side”, assesses one of the ministers most listened to by Fernández.

That was the reason that prompted the arrival to the Chief of Staff of Agustín Rossi,

a man who never reneged on the label of Kirchnerism

.

Fernández imagines Rossi as his own campaign manager: he has a good dialogue with all Peronism, he is not in a position to win an election in his province and he is highly trained in the art of declaring in front of the media. .

It is not yet possible to determine how far Fernández's idea will go.

Will he be able to sustain his candidacy until PASO in the face of the almost unanimous rejection of Peronism?

As far as is known, the Frente de Todos remains united because that is the survival condition of the leaders that make it up.

That argument was enough to win in 2019 and fell short in 2021, even with the opposition divided into several districts.
