Pichetto: "Cristina always had power"
In another section of the interview, Miguel Ángel Pichetto said that he was not surprised "to see a
President so mistreated by his own strength
," because "the origin of his legitimacy was always weakened by the way he was elected."
"Those are the rules of the game. You don't like them, you wouldn't have accepted.
The power was always in the vice president
and it continues to be.
It is likely that she is the candidate,
because she is the one who measures the most in the Government. There may be an operational outcry" , complete.
Regarding the statement in which Cristina assured that she would not be a candidate for anything, she opined: "That was an emotional moment. It was a mistake. I analyze it as a political error, because that moment strongly weakened her in terms of the political scene of
her
party and even in the gaze of the judges".
Pichetto, about the internal opposition: "Together for Change has to define leadership"
Regarding the multiplicity of referents in Together for Change in the face of the 2023 presidential elections, Pichetto stated that "the opposition has to at some point, sooner rather than later, define the question of leadership or at least have two formulas, two proposals to carry forward.

If you do not have a leader and a program, there is no political project that can win
," he remarked.
