Wado de Pedro assumes that the ruling party will define its candidate in the PASO: "It is the product of the President's unipersonal decision"

The Minister of the Interior and a member of La Cámpora said that Alberto Fernández made 'a strategic decision'. "I understand that he is going to introduce himself," he added.


Eduardo "Wado" De Pedro, Minister of the Interior of the Nation and the highest-ranking cadre of La Cámpora in the Government, assumed that the ruling party

will define its

presidential candidate

through the PASO

, since that was "the

unipersonal decision of the President"

, Alberto Fernández.

Interviewed by the

C5N

channel , the official who knew how to spend long periods without dialogue with his boss - and who sounds like a camper option for a candidacy that competes internally with Fernández - explained that the head of state "

defined a strategy a long time ago".

Faced with that decision, De Pedro continued, "many sectors of the Frente de Todos asked to discuss part of it and

the scope did not exist

," he claimed, in a reference to that table of the Frente de Todos of only meeting and it was truncated, a habitual claim of Máximo Kirchner -creator of La Cámpora- that the President questioned in an extensive interview he gave on YouTube.

"It is necessary to have a table to give a design to the electoral process," Fernández indicated last Sunday, in an online dialogue with Tomás Rebord.

But the President then fired his darts at Máximo Kirchner, who resigned from the presidency of the block of deputies of the Frente de Todos in February 2022 in rejection of the agreement that had been reached with the IMF.

"

What they cannot ask me

is that

those who did not accompany me

in the decision of the Fund and

left me alone

in the most difficult moment of the government ask me to

resolve with me

. If I had to make the most difficult resolution alone, well, let me work", launched in opposition to the claims of internal debate of the son of the vice president.

"What we have today is the product of the unipersonal decision of the President who led us here with his strategic decision and what we have left today is that," said De Pedro.

In this sense, the camporista who was the

spearhead of a massive ministerial resignation

that Cristina Kirchner promoted at the time projected that there will be STEP, in which, as he thinks he knows,

Fernández will appear

.

"There will be a STEP where

the President is going to present himself, that is what I understand

, with which it would be very good if he did so,

that the rest of the Frente de Todos can put together an alternative

and that the people can define which is the best candidate" , accepted facing the presidential elections this year.

And, when addressing the speculation about Cristina Kirchner's non-candidacy to announce, she outlined internal criticism.

"That cane with which CFK summons the rest of the leaders is also a: 'Hey, take charge, I can't do it alone', it seems to me that there are

many comfortable, many comfortable leaders waiting at someone's finger,"

she launched.

Minutes before, in the interview, De Pedro was asked

if he sees himself integrating one of the formulas

that participates in the race heading -again- to the Casa Rosada and began an extensive story about his life in politics.

The Minister of the Interior is the only one in the Government

whose public agenda is published apart

from the traditional presidential communication of meetings.

And, for some time,

she raised her profile

, putting her presence at inaugurations -such as ANSeS premises, with the official camper Fernanda Raverta- and has ignited her speech in a tone that resembles that of a Campaign.

"I am part of a

generation that wants

a serious replacement

 to take place in Argentina

and in many areas," he said, until the journalists remarked that he had not yet responded to the specific query.

"They told me

when you don't want to answer, 'answer long

,'" De Pedro joked to get out of trouble.

The concrete answer never came, and the official, at least formally, from Fernández, insisted that his "generation" responded to "Néstor Kirchner's call to change reality from the State and participation."

And when they brought him to the issue of the electoral calendar, he moved away from the news and also recalled his intention to eliminate

the midterm elections

.

"It was a discussion that ended with the assassination attempt on Cristina Fernández de Kirchner," he said.

"I proposed a few months ago, that imagine the discussion ended with the assassination attempt on Cristina, see if we can agree to

try to find a period of no less than 10 years

to, through a

constitutional reform

,

eliminate the election intermediate,"

he proposed.

​"

This election means that society is in a permanent campaign,

politicians are in a permanent campaign

and it seems very healthy to me that when people vote for the person in charge of the Executive Branch, he can govern for four years and generate agreements and consensus necessary. The intermediate choice is like every time it makes you differentiate yourself from the other, "he argued.

Wado De Pedro, on the murder of the bus driver: "The use of that does not add up"

From Pedro, he referred to the murder of the bus driver Daniel Barrientos in La Matanza, with a particular look.

He remarked that the "use" of the issue in electoral terms "does not add up."

"The use of that seems to me not to add up, I also recently heard the governor [Axel Kicillof] say that it

would seem that a campaign climate is beginning

," he paraphrased who had been on the air minutes before on the same channel, breaking the silence that it had invaded it since the crime and attack against Buenos Aires Security Minister Sergio Berni became known.

In this sense, and in tune with the international comparative resources that his political leader Cristina Kirchner usually resorts to, he recalled a dialogue he had with the president of Brazil, Lula Da Silva, in which they agreed that "violent cases

and moods" are used

for " targeted

and segmented

campaigns ".

"Difficult times are coming. I agree with the governor," she aligned herself with the speech of doubt that Berni and Kicillof planted about the fact of insecurity and the violent reaction against the minister.

"There is a use of fear as a disciplinarian, as a tool for

social manipulation

, to

scare the electorate

and in Argentina it has already been used and has already had its consequences," he added, giving as examples "former deputy commissioner

Luis Patti, Aldo Rico and Patricia Bullrich"

, today a presidential candidate.

"The use of a problem as structural as organized crime, drug trafficking, money laundering as a result of all these criminal gangs, organized crime inserted in many structures, it seems to me that it is very not serious to campaign

with this

and it is one of the issues that require a serious agreement and a joint and long-term approach," he theorized.

And he finished, in a reflective attempt: "Yes, it is true that fear works and works in a way where

that feeling that is felt out there calms down

with the one who works best with a solution."
