May peeps key

.

After the electoral debut this Sunday in Río Negro and Neuquén, next month will not only have the seasoning of the

internal Frente de Todos

, which must begin to solve its strategy against the clock for the PASO in August: there will also be eight provinces who will elect their new governors.

These are

Jujuy, La Rioja and Misiones

, who will go to the polls on Sunday, May 7, and

La Pampa, Tierra del Fuego, San Juan, Tucumán and Salta

, who will do the same seven days later.

As circulated at the time, President

Alberto Fernández

had let it be known that in May he would make a definition regarding his candidacy, that is, whether or not he will aspire to seek re-election.

The decision of the head of state - in Kirchnerism they discount that he will not run for a second term - is in contrast with the definitions around the figure of

Cristina Kirchner

, who has not yet communicated what role she will play in these elections after announcing, at the end of the last year, that she would not be a candidate.

In the toughest sector of the coalition, they cling to the possibility that the former President will review that decision.

The massive convocation that Kirchnerism is preparing for May 25, 20 years after the inauguration of

Néstor Kirchner

, could provide an indication of the electoral strategy that the vice president is thinking of.

Paradoxically, months ago, Fernández aired in the media that he wanted to shoulder the task of ending those two decades K.

Jujuy, La Rioja and Misiones

should not hold any surprises: in the three provinces, the ruling parties are headed, barring unforeseen events, to victory. 

In the case of Jujuy, the election has a plus: Governor

Gerardo Morales

wants a comfortable victory to negotiate with greater weight within the Juntos por el Cambio party.

In the four elections on Sunday, May 14, one of the most relevant is that of

Tucumán

by the figure of

Juan Manzur

, who after passing through the Chief of Staff resumed the provincial government.

Now he is the vice-government candidate behind Osvaldo Jaldo, and in Tucuman territory they still insist that, if he obtains a resounding victory, Manzur would seek to capitalize on him to sit at the table of possible presidential

candidates

.

Despite the fact that, with the passing of the months, the national project of the former head of ministers liquefied.

In La Pampa,

Sergio Ziliotto

has the task of preserving the province for Peronism after the radical Martín Berhongaray prevailed within the internal opposition over Martín Maquieyra, of the PRO, last February.

On the

San Juan

side , the scenario is still uncertain: the opposition of Juntos por el Cambio challenged the candidacy of

Sergio Uñac

before the Supreme Court .

The discussion goes through how the positions of governor and lieutenant governor are computed.

The challenge is against the clock.

To top it off, Uñac has a public confrontation with his predecessor,

José Luis Gioja

At the end of this month, the PJ plans to meet to hold the council and then call the party congress.

It is, according to reports, the area in which the electoral strategy of the Frente de Todos should be settled.

It is prior to the registration of alliances and candidacies, whose deadline is

June 24

.

In the midst of a fierce confrontation between the Casa Rosada and the Instituto Patria, between Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner in the face of a loud request from various sectors of the government coalition that loudly demand that the President, the Vice President and the Minister of Economy,

Sergio Massa

, sit at the same table to negotiate the strategy. 

June is still two months away.

For the Front of All, it is an eternity.
