It was not and is not an isolated claim by Gabriel Katopodis.
The Minister of Public Works was the first to propose in public and through the media the calculated request for a
summit between Alberto Fernández, Cristina Kirchner and Sergio Massa
to reorganize a common strategy of the ruling party.
Kirchner's ministers joined the internal pressure of governors and mayors and other members of the Cabinet,
which until now was underground
.
Eduardo "Wado" de Pedro
, who is running for president, is one of the most convinced and enthusiastic about this possibility.
In private, in Kirchnerism they maintain that today the main stumbling block for a meeting of the three referents of the ruling party is the President, who after deposing his candidacy does not want to give in any more.
"Why wouldn't Cristina be willing?", they ask twelve days after Fernández put an end to his re-election dream.

De Pedro, Cristina Kirchner's main delegate in the Casa Rosada, was
alone on Wednesday with the Vice President
in the Senate.
The meeting took place after the minister met with the entire
block of FdT legislators
in the Upper House to present his federal development plan, the management platform that allows him to tour the country as a possible candidate.
The perfect attendance of the Peronist senators would not have occurred without CFK's endorsement, as a Kirchnerist leader pointed out.
The ministers and leaders who report to the Patria Institute do not dare to publicly request a summit of the three terminals of Kirchner power.
"
No one is going to mark the field for her
, but Cristina is willing to join," they say close to one of the bosses of La Cámpora.
The excuse will be the need to debate a government program as the Vice President stated in La Plata and Máximo Kirchner suggested five days earlier, in Ferro.

The Minister of the Interior had already discussed the need to promote the meeting of the three vertices of the official power with the Chief of Staff Agustín Rossi and especially with
Juan Manuel Olmos
.
Habitat Minister
Santiago Maggiotti
, one of the officials who shares the most management acts with the President, was the last to join the clamor for an ecumenical meeting of the ruling party that Fernández resists and, as this newspaper reported, he let the
chief
know of State and the Vice President.
"
Cristina has to sit down with Alberto, who are the ones who set up the Front and define what the electoral strategy is going to be
," said the Minister of Habitat when asked by
Clarín
.
The words of the mayor on leave from Navarro came less than a day later and in the same vein as those of
Victoria Tolosa Paz
.
"It's like a football match. There is the technical management, the President, the Vice President, they have to sit down, as they sat down in May 2019. It is impossible to think that we are going to be able to write the rules of the game if there is no meeting
between them
so that they can determine how we go out onto the field," Victoria Tolosa Paz said without anesthesia in TN.
The Minister of Social Development, who requests PASO, rehearses her own assembly and attended the CFK act in La Plata, reiterated her position on Twitter.
In the Casa Rosada they wanted to institutionalize a table that would serve to lay the foundations of a
code of coexistence
for the
primaries
, but more and more sectors are demanding that there be a unity photo before.
Some of the President's closest associates don't make sense of it.
"That photo was not taken before, what has changed now?" asked one with resignation.
The substantial change, of course, is the step aside of the head of state in electoral matters.
Nobody in the Government is betting that a meeting between the Fernández family and Massa could take place before the PJ Congress in Ferro on Tuesday, May 16.
"There are not going to be big decisions in that instance, because there are going to be 900 congressmen," said a leader from La Cámpora.
The clock, meanwhile, keeps ticking.
The deadline in the calendar for the promoters of the meeting between the Fernández family is June 14, when the electoral alliances will be registered.
Ten days later the candidates will register.
The mayors also raise their voices in a low voice.
"Some say it; most don't. But
you have to order this at least to face an orderly STEP
," insisted a municipal executive who is determined to face La Cámpora in the primaries.
Not everyone who asks for a peace photo is convinced that the PASO is the best option.
More and more people think that the
primaries will be inevitable
.
In the midst of the comings and goings, of Pedro -whom the head of the bench of senators of the ruling party, José
Mayans
from Formosa ,
presented as his "favorite" to represent Peronism in the elections - will share this Friday a tour with another FdT presidential candidate.
The Minister of the Interior will tour Villa Fiorito with
Juan Grabois
, who has already warned that he will not endorse a
consensus
candidacy of Massa.
