Facing
Alberto Ángel Fernández
had two major crises with his Interior Minister.
The first, when the Frente de Todos lost the PASO of 2021 and
Wado de Pedro
led the movement of the officials with the black palate K and made their "resignation available".
That day, the President threatened to kick the minister out of La Cámpora, which did not happen.
On the contrary, within a few hours, a public letter from Cristina Elisabet Kirchner led to the departure of presidential spokesman Juan Pablo Biondi from the government.
The other crisis occurred when, from De Pedro's entourage, an alleged phrase from the minister from Mercedes came out: "He has no codes," he would have released in reference to the fact that, during the visit to the country of Lula Da Silva, the President excluded Wado from a meeting of the Brazilian with human rights organizations.
On that occasion,
Alberto threatened again.
"I kick it out and put Cristina Álvarez Rodríguez instead of Wado," he told a few and looked for her phone to talk to Cristina.

The call never happened and De Pedro is still a minister.
This week, the official K was on the C5N channel and shot a phrase that showed him as the Christian candidate for the presidential fight: "The current situation is the product of the President's unipersonal decision that led us here. With his strategic decision and what we have left today is that, to go to an election in which there is STEP".
For this reason,
Cristina gave the order to rally her faithful behind the candidacy of Wado de Pedro
.
This does not mean that she shrugs off the possibility that
Sergio Tomás Massa
could finally be the candidate of Peronism, but she did order to speed up the steps of the political minister.
Thus, technical teams began to be formed (such as in Security or Science and Technology) and the official will be seen on more traditional tours, no longer as a minister, but will turn to visit factories, neighborhoods and social organizations in different parts of the country.
The official does not have a honeymoon with all his peers from La Cámpora (as with "Cuervo" Larroque, for example) but the blessing that came from the National Senate made everyone start to enlist with the young Wado.
By the way,
CFK shielded itself from the species of an "outsider" or some unknown or "surprising" name such as the ideas of Máximo Kirchner
of Pablo González (the head of YPF) or "El Cadete" (the actor and blogger K Pedro Rosemblat) for the election of the City of Buenos Aires.
Now it remains to be seen how they follow in the footsteps of Alberto Fernández with his candidacy, since it would be unusual for a President to go to a primary election before one or two of his ministers, such as Wado and/or Massa.
For this reason, close to the head of state there is talk of the "plans B" of Daniel Scioli, Agustín Rossi or Santiago Cafiero himself.
We Argentines arrived from the boats...
single list
Cristinism also defined something regarding the internal fight with Alberto Fernández:
those who say they want to defeat Kirchnerism in one STEP cannot have Kirchnerists on their lists
.
This means that, in the province of Buenos Aires,
Cristina's list
(which today would be headed by Wado de Pedro for the National and Axel Kicillof for the Province),
will go with their own candidates for senators, deputies, governor, provincial legislators and mayors
.
In other words, if Alberto wants to compete, he must have his own list for all those categories.
"Let Alberto get his own candidates for all those positions. There we will see which mayors decide to support him or Cristina. The same goes for the governors...", reasons a true Christian.

Look who came!
Meanwhile,
Together for Change is moved by the crisis in the province of Mendoza, where the provincial PRO ended up being intervened
to avoid a defeat in the fight for the governorship where the radical Alfredo Cornejo is going for a new term.
The split generated by deputy Omar de Marchi reminded us of the events in that province in 2011, when
a list of the Democratic Party obtained 14% of the votes and that facilitated the victory of Peronism at the hands of Francisco "Paco" Pérez
.
That time, the journalist Luis Rosales (today aligned with José Luis Espert) ran for the Democrats, in a move with a whiff of Peronist arming.
This time, similar aromas are smelled as the legendary Peronist Alberto Flamarique was seen speaking with businessmen and provincial leaders, arguing for the possibility of supporting Omar de Marchi's candidacy for governor.

Flamarique was an ally of Carlos "Chacho" Álvarez in FREPASO and later he was Minister of Labor under Fernando de la Rúa
, from where he left due to the famous crisis of the alleged bribes to senators for the labor reform.
Usually, he is seen at tables in the coquettish recova de Retiro at well-watered lunches with the radicals
Facundo Suárez Lastra and Jesús Rodríguez
;
and with the captivating presence of
Enrique "Coti" Nosiglia
, perennial political operator of Argentine politics.
He is always today...
Omar de Marchi.
