Less than two months before the deadline for the presentation of lists of pre-candidates, established on June 24, 2023, in the province of Buenos Aires they do not rule out the possibility that the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, could compete for the Presidency in a STEP scenario in Front of All.
"Here there is no personal project of Axel or an individual whim of 'I stay here or I go there.' We are part of a collective that today is the Frente de Todos and the governor is going to do what the Frente decides
, in particular Cristina [Kirchner]
, taking into account the political strategy and the best electoral tactics", stressed the head of Buenos Aires advisors, Carlos Bianco.
After the Vice President publicly reappeared this Thursday during an activity at the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, where she continued without giving definitions about her electoral future, Kirchnerism begins to warm up and concentrates on the electoral design: "Without getting a good volume of votes in the province of Buenos Aires it is impossible to win a national election".
"Today, the governor has to govern the province of Buenos Aires and at the same time
gather votes so that this political project continues in the province
and generate the largest possible flow of votes to win a national election," Bianco argued in dialogue with
LA990 .

Asked about the possibility that the Frente de Todos defines its candidate in the Province through a primary election, the head of Kicillof's Advisors replied: "
Today the only candidate in the Province of Buenos Aires is the Governor."
"No other compañero or compañera has expressed himself in this sense. The other day in the act [of Cristina in La Plata] I crossed 'Vicky' Tolosa Paz, we were talking, and he told me that he was accompanying the governor. Today I don't
see a possibility of going to a STEP in the Province
", he argued.
However, Bianco recalled: "The governor was very clear that he had no problem facing a partner or partner who has an alternative project in a STEP and that the people of Buenos Aires define who is our best candidate. I believe that
today no one is in a position to fight the pre-candidacy and candidacy for the Governor".
The Buenos Aires official based his statements on the fact that
polls show that Axel Kicillof is "the biggest candidate with the intention of voting"
both from the ruling party and the opposition in the province of Buenos Aires.
"My best thermometer is that the Governor can freely walk down the street showing the things he does," he added.

At the end of a week marked by economic turbulence, in which the blue dollar was on the verge of reaching $500, Bianco highlighted the management of the head of the Palacio de Hacienda.
"Minister
Massa has given a demonstration of character
: he did not ask the IMF for permission. He notified him accordingly, but he did not ask for permission", he pondered.
"Massa did very well to go out and intervene in the market without asking the IMF for permission. Obviously let them know, because unfortunately we are in the framework of an agreement with the Fund," he completed.
When trying to explain the statements of the Buenos Aires official Andrés "Cuervo" Larroque, who considered that because of the currency run they did not know if the Government reached the end of the week, Bianco explained: "What the 'Cuervo' is saying is that there was a run exchange rate and that it had to be put down. And well, it got put down with what Minister Massa had to do".
Massa, precisely, yesterday winked at Kicillof about his possible re-election in the Province.
Upon being greeted by the governor for his 51st birthday, the Minister of Economy replied: "Thank you Pum Pim Pam, will the Clio start again?" He told him.
Axel Kicillof greeted Sergio Massa for his birthday and the Economy Minister thanked him with an electoral message.
Lastly, Bianco maintained that these are "very turbulent times" in Argentina and the world, which is why "
political definitions have to be cooked over a slow fire."
