Again
Alberto Fernández
, and again
Andrés "El Cuervo" Larroque
.
At the beginning of a key week for
Cristina Kirchner
, the President once again irritated Kirchnerism this weekend with phrases supposedly attributed to him with harsh passages against Christianity, and that sector responded again through the Buenos Aires minister, who launched a new phase of the offensive against the Casa Rosada: he said this time that he has
"doubts that the President intends for Peronism to win
. "
"The President is constantly proposing himself for something that nobody asks for, because if you saw that there is a demand or political sectors that make this proposal... But it is
very painful to see that the president launches his candidacy after Cristina's conviction
, "he stressed. the leader K, one of the main promoters of the event on Saturday.
The answer was left in the mouth of
Agustín Rossi
, the head of the Cabinet, who, unlike, for example, his colleague
Aníbal Fernández
, is more widely accepted in the K universe and is usually much more diplomatic.
"I trust the intelligence and commitment not only of the President, but also of the main leaders of the Frente de Todos. I know that they will do everything in their power for the coalition to win the elections," said the former head of the AFI.
Larroque's statements and the Casa Rosada's reply once again agitate the internal movement around this year's electoral strategy after the website El Destape
, which sympathizes with the Government, published statements attributed to the President with phrases
over the weekend.
of the style that he will be the one to
"end 20 years of Kirchnerism"
and that he holds "a quarter of the votes" of the "45%" that Cristina Kirchner retains.
The note is signed by the director of the outlet, the journalist
Roberto Navarro
, who has a fluid dialogue with the President.
Consulted by
Clarín
, high official sources stressed that the sayings
"no"
are real.
"It was an analysis talk a few weeks ago and he turned it into that," they justified.
Isolated Alberto and links between the two sides
In the midst of this extreme tension, with Fernández isolated among his closest collaborators, some ties have been trying to decompress the situation for a long time.
One of those is the deputy chief of staff,
Juan Manuel Olmos
, who is holding talks not only with the Minister of the Interior,
Eduardo "Wado" de Pedro
, but also with Larroque himself, a habitual spokesman for Kirchnerism against the re-election operation of the Casa Rosada, and even with
Máximo Kirchner
, distanced from the official administration for more than a year.
"
We are at a time where we have to build permanent bridges because the funnel moment is coming
, which is the closing of candidacies, where more tension accumulates," remarked a leader who is a witness to these talks.
The deputy chief of staff was, for example, one of those who negotiated the final document of the PJ summit three weeks ago with Kirchnerism, which surprised by the presence of the head of La Cámpora.
"Only with Olmos do you discuss politics
," they explained to this newspaper from a sector of La Cámpora.
With the rest of the President's collaborators, according to sources from that organization and from Albertism, there is almost no dialogue.
In the case of the Minister of the Interior, the relationship with the Casa Rosada also oscillates permanently
.
Last week, at the inauguration of the ordinary sessions, De Pedro posted on his networks his accompaniment to the President in the March 1 speech while Larroque, for example, came out publicly with a barricade speech.
Weeks ago, the minister had crossed paths with Fernández in public after he was not invited to a CELAC event.
Later they had breakfast alone and rehearsed a timid truce that hangs by a thread.
"You have to take care of the institutional, on the other hand there are the discussions"
, they assured from the environment of "Wado" which, after the electoral debacle of 2021, led the wave of resignations from the cabinet of officials who are referenced in Cristina Kirchner.
Beyond the efforts in private, the crosses in public venture more chapters.
At least
until the President insists on his re-election, in a week that will have Cristina Kirchner as the main protagonist of the government coalition
: first on Thursday, with the disclosure of the arguments of the judgment of the Highway trial, then on Friday, with the delivery of a distinction in Río Negro -the vice will be accompanied by K leaders- and finally on Saturday, with the plenary session in Avellaneda that will conclude with a document with the slogan "Cristina 2023".
With a central data, anticipated by Clarín.
The vice president would not go to the event in the South of GBA, as proof of another major decision:
not to be a candidate for president this year
, despite the operative clamor that they promote from a sector.
