In a seven-minute video distributed on social networks,
Alberto Fernández revealed his irrevocable decision to focus on his presidential administration
.
"I am convinced without any doubt that I have to concentrate my efforts, my commitment and my heart on solving the problems of Argentine men and women," said the President, sharing his epiphany with the people.
At some point, it doesn't matter that almost four years have passed since he came to power, that clarity comes.
The message was so bad that, once published
, government officials had to explain to journalists that what Fernández had wanted to convey
was not that he was going to dedicate himself to solving the problems of Argentine men and women: he meant that it will not be candidate in the STEP.
The announcement will have more consequences on Fernández's psychology than on the political scene: in the Frente de Todos there were no longer any leaders who thought he was in a position to try for re-election.
Strictly speaking, the video will serve the President to avoid an operative outcry in the meeting of the PJ with governors inviting him to get off any intention of running again.
The problem of the Frente de Todos was not the imaginary candidacy of Fernández.
Nor is it the proliferation of infighting.
Since 2019, Peronism has been united and none of its relevant leaders wants to leave.
The Frente de Todos, to put it another way, is fully consolidated.
The domes are very well: the problem is with the voters
.
This data is what complicates the perspective of the ruling party, and what makes it so difficult to determine who could lead the ballot this year.
Until today,
the only one who repeats that he wants to play is Daniel Scioli.
In La Cámpora they have another plan and continue to promote Sergio Massa's candidacy
, hoping that he will be accompanied by Cristina Kirchner, who has already said that he will not run for anything.
All of them, according to what they say, are betting on ordering themselves, as if the simple mechanism of putting together lists of candidates without shuffling chairs is enough to erase the effect of an entire presidential term.
