TV overdose
On Saturday
, May 18, 2019 , in the morning, a surprising video of
Cristina Elisabet Kirchner
appeared on social networks
:
"I have asked Alberto Fernández to lead the formula that we will integrate together...
.
Alberto, whom I have known for more than 20 years and, it is also true, with whom we had differences, was Nestor's chief of staff throughout his presidency and I saw him decide, organize, agree and always seek the greatest breadth together possible from the government.
Thus, the twice head of state communicated "to the people" her decision to impose the lawyer from Buenos Aires as a candidate for President, with her in second place on the formula.
Today, that cordiality has disappeared, in the midst of a wild and stressful internship, which took its toll on the President this week with his lumbar hernia.
But
Alberto listened to the suggestion of using that date as the decisive day
for his definition of whether or not he will present himself as a candidate for re-election.
This would be that
on May 18, 2023, four years after the announcement of the formula with CFK, he communicated (with another video?) if he applied
or if -as almost everything indicates- he gets out of the fight and lets "another partner or compañera" gave the biggest fight for the presidential succession.

Close to the President, the statements of Jorge Horacio Ferraresi
this week
fell like lightning .
The mayor of Avellaneda said that
"Massa took office one day before we leave by helicopter"
but also expressed that "today it is not natural for Alberto to be a candidate because there are things that we have not resolved."
An inhabitant of the Casa Rosada recalled that a "Monday table" had been established last year where a few had lunch with Fernández at the beginning of the week: along with Alberto, sat Santiago Cafiero, Juan Manzur, Juanchi
Zabaleta , Gabriel Katopodis, Julio Vitobello and Ferraresi himself
, at that time Minister of Habitat and Housing.
Cristinism was openly criticized
.
Ferraresi was, last Saturday, the host of the event promoted by Andrés "Cuervo" Larroque and where Máximo Kirchner asked that "some leave their personal adventures", in obvious reference to the re-election desire of AF, from whom Ferraresi today appears politically distant.
Partners, we were always partners...

Meanwhile, in La Cámpora began a process of clarifying positions for its eventual electorate.
"They entered the phase of asking you, 'Which side are you on?'
They did that the other day in Avellaneda and now it is Sergio Tomás' turn," explains a Buenos Aires mayor who was already called to define allegiances and after seeing the powerful tweet from the Christian group in which the current state of Relations of the Argentine Government with the IMF.
In any case, in La Cámpora there is a deliberative state on how to continue, at this stage of trying to clearly differentiate from the national government but maintaining the positions (ANSES, PAMI, Interior, Airlines, YPF, ANAC).
Perhaps it is
a reformulation of the slogan "The homeland is the other", which has become "the government belongs to the other"
.
The question that camporismo is rethinking today is what to do about
Sergio Massa.
Cristina continues to believe that the Tigrense is the moderate option for the presidential candidacy
, the closest thing to the old video where a digestible formula of Peronism was presented -in 2019- with Alberto F. at the helm.
The other option for CFK is that of
Wado de Pedro for the presidential election, with Axel Kicillof for provincial re-election
, which to many in the Instituto Patria seems "bread with bread", that is, too much K purism in the midst of an angry society strongly with politics in general.
In La Cámpora, the differences of criteria between
Máximo, Wado and "Cuervo" Larroque
(the latter today in the most intransigent line) and the discussion about how to close lists in the province of Buenos Aires, where Kicillof - boosted in his link without intermediaries - persist with Cristina- seems to be heading towards his desire to go for re-election.
"Axel is managing to go for re-election without handing over a traffic director," grumbles a seasoned mayor
who sees how the UBA economist learned some tricks more typical of the
ferocious suburbs than of the university cloisters of Plaza Houssay.
Dumb but not that...
