Still without definitions in the electoral field and with the internal front in convulsion,
Alberto Fernández took the days of recess for Easter
to rest with his family and a few collaborators, in the presidential residence of Chapadmalal.
The president arrived at the residence after his fleeting passage through Chile.
In a visit that lasted less than a day,
he held meetings with his partner Gabriel Boric
and other trans-Andean leaders, after the official acts for the new anniversary of the battle of Maipú.
As it turned out, Fernández arrived in Chapadmalal to spend the long weekend accompanied by his partner Fabiola Yáñez, his son Francisco and collaborators, with whom he will continue some agenda items.

It was not an easy week for Alberto Fernández.
The President had to suspend his official agenda for two days due to the attack on Sergio Berni, in a demonstration for the brutal crime of a bus driver in La Matanza.
Thus, the President sought to avoid questions about insecurity and delegated to the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, the monitoring of the case.
It is that the aggression that occurred on the protest in General Paz rekindled the hard internal that Berni maintains with La Rosada almost from the beginning of the management.
In fact, as soon as he left the Churruca Hospital, where he received the first treatments, the Kicillof official questioned Nación again because he had not received answers to his request for gendarmes for the suburbs
.
Despite this new chapter of confrontations with Berni, Fernández avoided expressing himself about the attack and about the heinous crime of the bus driver Daniel Barrientos.
According to Clarin this week, the president preferred to get fully involved in the other agenda, in addition to security, which worries the Casa Rosada a lot: that of the economy.
Between the electoral assembly and the internal
Outside of the situation, Fernández's gaze is set on the electoral assembly.
Faced with hard Kirchnerism and without dialogue with Cristina Kirchner, according to Clarín, May could be the key month for the President to define whether or not to run for re-election in the PASO.

A key day is May 18, the date on which in 2019 Cristina anointed him as a presidential candidate.
Beyond this date, which functions as a kind of anniversary, a sector close to the head of state promotes that the definition be as close as possible to the closing of the lists, which is scheduled for June 24.
In one scenario or another, Alberto would not announce his decision before May 18, beyond the media pressure from La Cámpora.
