Alberto Fernández takes Wado De Pedro out of the race and believes that Cristina Kirchner could bless Sergio Massa

The one-on-one meeting they held on February 11 in Olivos was not enough to sort out the differences between the President and his Interior Minister after months away, but it was enough to put them on the table.

It was a gesture, just like the recognition of

 during the Legislative Assembly to the management of the Ministry of the Interior that

corresponded with applause while the cameras of the official transmission by national chain took it.

The leaders who listen to the head of state reflect on the political situation in which he has to govern, highlight that

is encouraged to project the next movements of the woman who unexpectedly led him to the presidency in 2019. “

”, they heard him say high-ranking officials who frequent the President in public and in private.

In privacy, the President assured his main collaborators that he is not betting that the Minister of the Interior will finally be the chosen dolphin of the Vice President.

“

and that he cannot absorb all his votes,” Cabinet members emphasize.

In La Cámpora they recognize that De Pedro's level of ignorance remains low, although it improved exponentially together with the minister's presentation.

The main CFK delegate at the Casa Rosada went from taking 3 hours to record his first message -a response to

for the co-participation- to accepting an interview, campaigning against bullying, speaking in business forums and encouraging himself to be the Main speaker at political events.

"Everyone values ​​his frontality. He does not tell businessmen what they want to hear," they explain in the minister's environment.

Among the leaders who whisper to Fernández's ear, some ironize about the network of contacts of the ministers.

"Curious case of this revolutionary, Wado, promoted by a businessman like Mario Montoto and with friends like Luis Barrionuevo," they say.

In the

in La Rosada they are convinced that the explicit support of the Vice President will be enough to absorb the votes of Christianity.

"How tall was Alberto in 2019? They are worried, because we overshadow them. They don't get off to be able to discuss places on the lists," they point out. 

Doors inside Kirchnerism they discuss the inconvenience of giving up the main ticket box to someone outside, as they did with Fernández almost 4 years ago.

Until February, the natural and indisputable candidate that was insinuated was the Minister of Economy

, who was left in check by the inflationary index that he still cannot tame.

"Are we going to repeat the same mistake again?", they ask themselves in La Cámpora.

The two ministers posed together this Saturday at the grape harvest festival.

The mayors, meanwhile, continue to ask for the candidacy of the former president.

De Pedro accompanied Fernando Espinoza on Thursday in candidate mode and the mayor of La Matanza was dispatched with the explicit request.

"From La Matanza we want our next president to be Cristina Kirchner," stated the mayor of La Matanza.

De Pedro naturalized the operational clamor for the Vice.

"

," he pointed out.

Wado de Pedro with Alberto Fernández, Sergio Massa and Cecilia Moreau, at the PJ headquarters.

At the table of the Frente de Todos at the PJ headquarters, where Fernández and Pedro sat together, the President defended himself against the Kirchner leaders who asked him to get off and suggested that the opinion of the governors should be heard, although not exactly those who were present that day.

It was no coincidence that days later, Ricardo Quintela from La Rioja publicly expressed his support for a hypothetical candidacy of De Pedro.

In La Rosada they recalled that Quintela was one of the provincial leaders who in 2021 demanded that the President break with CFK.

He even hosted the President's first meeting with governors after the massive resignations led by De Pedro after the legislative PASO.

Another institutional discussion goes through the possible candidacy of De Pedro y Fernández.

If the Interior Minister is a candidate, he himself would remove the National Electoral Directorate, controlled by Marcos Schiavi, the minister's right-hand man, from his orbit.

His intention is to transfer it to the Ministry of Justice, which already had that area among its powers in the past.

In La Rosada they do not rule out that the DINE remains under the umbrella of the General Secretariat of the Presidency. 

In the small table of Fernández they believe that the Vice considers Massa the most powerful candidate of the ruling party, although they point out that the Tigrense is not willing to compete in a primary against, for example, Juan Manzur or his close enemy, Daniel Scioli, who has 

whitewashed his desire to be a candidate if Fernández drops out.

"

," the Albertistas pointed out about their partners while the pressure for Fernández to get off grows minute by minute.

A minister made an axiom explicit in the face of the primaries.

“

,” he pointed out.

He was referring to the fate of Juan Grabois, who last week launched his presidential candidacy while calling Axel Kicillof's side - who was absent in the Legislative Assembly - "lukewarm" and "mediocre" to the President.

The leader of the Frente Patria Grande has already warned that he will not compete if Wado runs.

In the Government they emphasize that the postulation of the social leader can serve to prevent votes from escaping to the left.

"

," they said.

At Fernández's small table they insist that Kicillof in 2019 was already measuring well and was known before CFK anointed him as its candidate in the Province.

For this reason, some of Kicillof's allies in the Province still dream of "

to the top of the presidential grid, although the discussion seems closed.

Since 1999, no president has reached the Casa Rosada without winning the Buenos Aires governorship.

"They are afraid of moving Axel, that he loses at the national level and not having a candidate that guarantees victory in the Province," says a leader close to the head of state who walks the Conurbano. 

After three months, the President and the Governor shared an act in Morón on Wednesday to inaugurate a sewage network.

Fernández was the first of the leaders present to be mentioned and the least applauded.

The head of state will begin and end the week in the Conurbano and in between will be in Mar del Plata.

Will he show himself again with Kicillof, absent in the Legislative Assembly?

Although most of the officials who sit at the President 's small table assume that

, some still believe that the Vice President could seek a place in the Senate and thus strengthen the ticket and its candidate in the district most important in the country.

Among those who follow in Pedro's footsteps, they do not rule out any hypothesis.
