First of all, we congratulate the fourth Kirchner government.
Not everyone nails 7.7% monthly inflation just 13 months after the "president" declared verbatim:
"The war against inflation starts on Friday"
(March 15, 2022).
Luckily Alberto was encouraged and decided to launch the attack in time, otherwise this would already be a disaster.
When it comes to recognition, you don't have to be stingy.
A good apocalypse is not orchestrated by one person.
We must also highlight the coordinated effort of the other four riders:
Cristina, Massa, Máximo and Kicillof.
Together, the five priests of the Frente de Todos have achieved this 7.7 so round, so perfect.
Even to nail the figure they have talent.
A 7.3 or a 7.8 would have been equally high, but it wouldn't be as graceful.
On the other hand, 7.7 is beautiful, poetic, almost biblical, and has that punch that is ideal for highlighting headlines and plinths in all media on the planet.
Congratulations to the five Latinos of this
popular economy with a diversified matrix with added value, distribution, sovereignty and sarasasasa.
Geniuses of the world
Fulfilled with the deserved recognition, let's go to the important thing.
Aníbal Fernández was strange.
His statements in recent months had baffled his own and others.
He was reasonable and said things like that he was a government minister and therefore should be loyal and support the re-election of its president.
At the same time, he questioned ministers like Wado De Pedro who, being a member of the cabinet, goes around disavowing and disqualifying Alberto
but without abandoning his position or his salary or the driver or anything
.
Aníbal also accused La Cámpora of throwing stones at its own government, wondered what Máximo was working on and went out to defend the government of which he is a part, as befits a serious official.
His line was clear: either you support or you leave.
In other words, Aníbal Fernández had become the most professional politician the government had left.
Miracle?
Did the Messiah intervene?
Was he the real Hannibal or was he someone who was posing as Hannibal for some convenience?
However, this week all doubts were cleared up.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, surprising everyone, he came out to say that if the opposition wins, there will be a trail of blood with dead people in the streets, generating a stupor that has not been seen since the Ezeiza massacre in 1973. That was like one day The Hannibal that we all love returned,
pairing almost perfectly with 7.7%.
Everything is back to normal.
Welcome back shampoo.
Aníbal's bloody premonition fell at the right time, exactly when Together for Change was experiencing the greatest internal upheaval in living memory and its main leaders were doing what they do best: lift Cristina up.
It seemed that El Gato, Larreta and Bullrich were reaching an agreement so that Ella or eventually Milei would win again, but Aníbal appeared with the blood and the corpses, changed the focus of the debate and saved the Pro and his partners from the quilombo
in
the that they were involved
What was the problem about?
Very simple.
Macri, with the support of Bullrich and Vidal, is doing everything possible so that his cousin Jorge is the next Buenos Aires Chief of the City of Buenos Aires.
For his part, Larreta has obvious prior commitments with Lousteau and some small business with Nosiglia SA (political business obviously, no one would think otherwise).
Both El Gato and Larreta demand that the law be complied with but in reality
they are only accommodating it to their needs
: to help Jorge Macri in one case, or to comply with Lousteau in the other.
Why does Macri get off the pedestal he was on two weeks ago when he gave up any candidacy and get into the mud to help his cousin?
To better understand the root of the problem, let's go to football, an inexhaustible source of all wisdom.
Let's remember.
On the penultimate date of the 1962 championship, Boca and River faced off at La Bombonera.
Both arrived leading and the one who won secured the title.
Boca took the lead with a goal from Paulo Valentim from a penalty and, five minutes from the end, they gave River a penalty.
In those days, the ball was as heavy as an iron anvil and it was almost a miracle that the goalkeeper could save it.
In the xeneize arch, with the 12 behind him, was Antonio Roma who would save in Boca until 1972 (tribute to the greatest idol of my life).
Delem took a run and hit him with an iron while “Tarzan” (as Tano Roma was nicknamed) advanced like never before or after any goalkeeper in the entire history of world football.
He took three long steps forward and covered the penalty before the madness of the Bombonera
.
While the public invaded the field and half the country embraced Roma, the River players went over to the referee to claim for the goalkeeper's overtaking.
In this context, annulling the move and repeating the execution
would have generated a trail of blood and deaths in the streets, Aníbal would say.
It was then that the referee Nay Foino got rid of the River players by coining one of the most famous phrases in football history:
"A well-kicked penalty is a goal."
How does this phrase translate into political terms?
Simple:
winning candidate, win either way
.
In other words, if you have a good candidate, you are going to win, no matter what ticket system you use.
And the problem is that Jorge Macri does not seem to be a winning candidate.
That is why he needs the referee or the VAR to give him a little hand to bring the pallina closer.
That is exactly what El Gato wanted, especially since the power of the PRO in the city is at stake and beating Lousteau is not going to be easy.
Let's remember that in 2015 Larreta beat him in the ballotage by a hair (pardon the metaphor): 51.6% to 48.4%.
Now they are going to have to beat him but with the cousin playing 9. A well-kicked penalty is a goal and a winning candidate, he wins with any ballot.
It would not be the case.
Here it is necessary to clarify that Larreta's position, although interested in his agreements with Lousteau, is the correct one.
The law states that in the City of Buenos Aires voting is done with a single ballot and tradition indicates that voting is done separately from the national election.
It is logical.
In this way, each citizen can freely choose what he likes best.
For example, voting for Miriam Bregman of the Left Front for president and Jorge Macri of the PRO for Head of Government (there are ideological schizophrenics everywhere) or voting for Bullrich of the PRO for president and López Murphy of the Republicans for Head of Government, would which doesn't sound so crazy anymore.
Or combine Larreta from the PRO as president with Lousteau from the UCR in the City,
which is not only not so crazy but is probably what both are looking for.
With the sheet list format that Mauricio Macri intended, all kinds of combinations could also be made, but you had to go into the dark room with scissors, voligoma, scotch tape, and a kindergarten teacher to help you.
Lesson of the day: the true democrat respects the law especially when it is not convenient,
because respecting it when it is convenient is very easy.
The mini-crisis of Together for Change has been forgotten thanks to the genius of Aníbal, we are heading towards a new vicissitudes of national politics.
What are we going to have fun with this week?
Everything would indicate that it is Cristina's turn.
She comes quietly, which will have allowed her to overcome some point.
In Argentina,
a politician who is silent, a politician who adds up
.
But she's already going to ruin it.
You have to give it a few days.
I bet that crazy little head must be rethinking his no-show decision and leaving the ban idea for another time.
With the number of lawsuits that she has, she will not lack opportunity.
Tomorrow is Monday and the body knows it.
