Alberto Fernández looked at everyone around him, or seemed to do so, turning his head from one side to the other, although as if taking a general, somewhat vague look.
He adjusted the microphone.
And he spoke.
His speech opened the debate at the PJ National Council meeting.
Neither Vice Cristina Kirchner nor her son, Deputy Máximo Kirchner, were there.
That morning, last Friday, the Head of State had once again paid attention to them, complying with one of the many requests made to him in public statements, and with variable tones.
Fernández had informed, through a video uploaded to his social networks, that he would not seek his re-election.

The first poll came out after Alberto's landslide: fight vote by vote for the presidential elections
Alberto Fernández will not go for re-election.
The survey, face-to-face, national and of 1,402 cases, was carried out between April 5 and 15, while Alberto Fernández maintained the internal fiction of his possible re-election.
But it was released over the weekend, after the president confirmed that this time he will not be from the game.
And he measured STEP scenarios without the president, so it is a very good thermometer of how the Frente de Todos is standing.

Massa is left alone on the grid but it does not start and the trick of giving up what cannot be
The Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa.

An old and forceful conclusion from Perón comes as a glove to illustrate the last hours of Fernández candidate.
In 1972, General Alejandro Agustín Lanusse, president of the dictatorship at the time, tried to negotiate with Juan Domingo Perón the conditions for a political solution to another of the many calamities of Argentine politics.
He thought he was capable of that complicated chess and tried a move to make the caudillo who was in exile in Madrid uncomfortable.
As if inviting him to copy it, Lanusse spread the version that he excluded himself from the elections as a candidate for the then-called Great National Agreement (GAN).
Perón responded with an irony that can be read in “Meeting Perón”, an interesting personal testimony of Juan Manuel Abal Medina about those dramatic years:
"That Lanusse is banned as a candidate for the presidency is as if I were banned from the throne of England."
Little can be so clear.

for the governorship.
"Each compañero has a pen that implies that each one can be able to put together their list of political participation and submit to the popular vote to build victory in each municipality in the Province of Buenos Aires and thus push the great national election.

not time for candidacies

Is Javier Milei a "mini Trump"?
How are they alike and what do they think in the United States?

What at one time was considered a marginal, almost bizarre phenomenon, has now become central to Argentine politics.
Officials, economists and experts who follow the ups and downs of our country from the United States observe with perplexity and concern the progress in Javier Milei's polls and cannot help but compare him with Donald Trump, who began his run for the White House as an eccentric and he ended up in the presidency against what the establishment expected.
Today, as the frontrunner for the Republican Party for 2024, he remains in the center of the political ring.
As Clarín learned, the figure of the libertarian economist usually flies over the private talks between Argentine and US officials who are interested in our country.
Of course they talk about the candidates of Together for Change and the ups and downs of the Frente de Todos.
But more and more they are asked about “Little Trump” or “Little Bolsonaro” and what their positions are because in Washington – beyond the stridency of their rhetoric – they are not very clear.

Gustavo Posse: "The measurements give me so that I can represent Together for Change in the Province of Buenos Aires"
Gustavo Posse, mayor of San Isidro, joined the fight for the governorship of the province and affirmed that "the measurements give him" to stay with the inmate of Together for Change.
"There are candidates for governor in the Province of Buenos Aires, the PRO is trying to have two candidates and also radicalism is trying to unify a position so that this is the candidate for governor. I am within that. The measurements give me so that can represent Together for Change,” he said.
He also charged against the Frente de Todos.
“That Sergio Massa is the candidate of the FDT unit is a difficult bet.
Nobody wants everything to go wrong so that later it turns out that Massa or the government does even worse.

"The Arrive Plan has already failed and stretching the fuse is not enough. The problem is not flu, it is pneumonia and the government is intubated and undergoing therapy. They have to take measures that are more consistent and forceful. That they assume responsibility for the moment," attacked.

"Queremos traer toda la inversión pública necesaria y dar incentivos a la privada para mejorar las condiciones de vida en estos barrios del sur con mejor seguridad, salud y educación y para eso hay que traer recursos a dónde más se necesitan", dijo Lousteau.
Para el precandidato a Jefe de Gobierno, "acá en Soldati hace falta un hospital de verdad con recursos humanos, insumos y de infraestructura".
Y agregó "es inaceptable que los vecinos tengan que levantarse a las 4 de la mañana para hacer una cola y que encima no los atiendan, por eso tenemos que trabajar en todo eso que falta y no pudo ser resuelto aún".

En este contexto, el secretario general de la UOCRA, Gerardo Martínez, aplaudió la decisión del Presidente y lo describió como "un gesto de bondad".
Sin embargo, el dirigente aclaró que "se tiene que terminar con la dedocracia". "Se tiene que terminar con que tengamos un oráculo, por lo menos dentro de nuestra fuerza política", completó el dirigente sindical.

Javier Milei, durante una caminata en San Juan
Javier Milei estuvo en la ciudad de San Juan, donde brindó una conferencia de prensa y fue recibido por una multitud que lo acompañó durante una caminata.
"Las chances de una hiperinflación son enormes. Si llego a ser Presidente, el mandato es claro. Bajá la inflación o te pongo un voleo. Mi compromiso es bajar la inflación y la voy a bajar a garrotazos. Con la dolarización es más rápido. Sino, meto un ajustazo en el sector público que me va a absorber los pesos", sostuvo.
"Las condiciones de entorno no son menores. El descalabro macroeconómico, si viene una hiperinflación va a venir la casta de rodillas a pedir que dolarice", lanzó el economista.
"El escenario difícil es que plantan la bomba un minuto antes de irse. Mi primera alternativa es llevar la propuesta al Congreso. Puede ser que lo rechacen. No iría por un referendum vinculante sino por consulta popular. Si lo rechazan, acelero el recorte del gasto público".

Victoria Tolosa Paz defendió las PASO y coqueteó con una candidatura en la Provincia
La ministra de Desarrollo Social, Victoria Tolosa Paz.Foto: Federico López Claro
La ministra de Desarrollo Social Victoria Tolosa Paz defendió el uso de las PASO como mecanismo de selección de candidatos del Frente de Todos y coqueteó con una posible precandidatura en la provincia de Buenos Aires.
"Desde el 2011 el peronismo nunca eligió fórmulas a Presidente con las PASO. Yo sigo viendo algunos dirigentes de nuestro espacio político que dicen candidato único. Nosotros no creemos en ese esquema, porque lo que viene pasando, de abajo hacia arriba, es que nos exigen abrir los campos de la participación política", enfatizó Tolosa Paz.
En declaraciones a radio Mitre, la funcionaria nacional argumentó: "No es el dedazo por quién defina, porque quizás definen dos o tres y no hay una persona, pero por la propia conformación de la coalición en la que hay diferentes miradas y porque desde abajo hacia arriba están exigiendo las PASO".
Respecto de una eventual precandidatura en la provincia de Buenos Aires, respondió: "Así como el Frente de Todos no definió la cantidad de fórmulas a nivel nacional, tampoco definió cuál es la estrategia en la provincia de Buenos Aires. Si no está definido, voy a acompañar al gobernador [Axel Kicillof]. Si el Frente define que haya PASO, haremos PASO y lo seguiré acompañando o él tendrá que acompañar a quien le compita".

Juan Grabois, durísimo contra Sergio Massa: "Ni en pedo vamos a votar a este cagador y vendepatria"
El referente del Frente Patria Grande, Juan Grabois, disparó con todos los cañones contra Sergio Massa, a quien tinldó de "cagador, vendepatria" y "lo peor de la política profesional". Fue al descartar la posibilidad de apoyar una lista presidencial que sea encabezada por el actual Ministro de Economía.
Fue en un acto en Rosario, donde presentaba su libro “Los Peores”. Allí argumentó que si Cristina Kirchner le pidiese que baje su candidatura para apoyar a Massa no lo haría ni "por todos los diputados de la lista".
"Ni en pedo vamos a votar a este sinvergüenza, vende patria y cagador de Massa. No hay forma de que nos volvamos a comer un Scioli, un Alberto. Y nadie me puede decir que no la banqué a Cristina en los peores momentos. Pero no voy a bancar que nos impongan un candidato que representa lo peor del campo popular, el entreguismo, el veddetismo, la política profesionalizada, el desprecio por los pobres. No hay forma, ni por todos los diputados de la lista", disparó Grabois.
