The controversial statements of Alberto Fernández about corruption during the government of Cristina Kirchner, in an interview, motivated a strong internal within the Frente de Todos, with crossed accusations and manifest anger of hard Kirchnerism with the President, who was vetoed from attending the event for the 20 years of the beginning of the government of Néstor Kirchner, on Thursday in Plaza de Mayo, which will have as main speaker the vice president.
"Some people may say that it was a very serious ethical imprudence to have signed agreements with someone they knew before, turned into a businessman linked to public works. But the serious ethical oversights that some may point out are not always crimes," the president said in an interview with elDiarioAR.
The statement, ambiguous, motivated the annoyance of Kirchnerism, because even in an attempt to relativize the issue, Fernández ended up recognizing that Cristina Kirchner, in her presidency, incurred in "serious ethical oversights" for having signed agreements with Báez and compared it to crimes. From the Instituto Patria they lowered the message so that Alberto does not go to Plaza de Mayo on Thursday, while from La Rosada they said that it was never on the presidential agenda to attend that act.
The opposition, meanwhile, seems to have decided to look at the conflict in the government from the outside. And dodge the crossings. "It is not our issue, whether they solve it, or not, they are off the agenda, as always," reasons a close to the PRO about the new open front between Cristina and Alberto.
Consulted by Clarín, María Eugenia Vidal agrees with this line, although she publicly declares that in the Frente de Todos "they are still in Narnia." He adds: "They defend the indefensible. They fight among themselves and set up acts to celebrate themselves while Argentines leave more and more things in the supermarket box every day."
In Together for Change there is agreement that the time has come to deactivate their own internal ones to give rise to the already repeated K short circuits, which were activated again in recent days after showing some homogeneity in the discourse.
Last Thursday, in a television interview, Cristina Kirchner hit the President hard because after the PASO of 2019, seeking to appease the markets, she said that "the dollar at 63 pesos is fine." "I would never have said that, it was a mistake," the vice president said of her running mate.
Manes, a presidential candidate, also questioned the government.
Another opposition leader who responded to this newspaper's query was Facundo Manes, national deputy and possible candidate for president for the Radical Civic Union. "It is one more of the counterpoints that the main leaders of the national government have in the midst of the turbulence and crisis that our country is experiencing," said the Buenos Aires leader.
And he added, in this regard: "In all cases I find these constant sayings and contradicts to be very irresponsible when what is most required is that they agree so that the situation is not increasingly catastrophic."
Other opposition sources spoke of Fernández as a president who "is gone" and who "does not understand the context and the situation that the country is going through."
The statements of Alberto Fernández opened again the internal K, on the eve of the act of Thursday, May 25, for the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the government of Néstor Kirchner.
From the Kirchnerism warned that they will not invite the President to the ceremony, which Cristina will lead, while in La Rosada they assure that it was never among Fernández's plans to go.
However, last Friday the President had joined the call with a post on his social networks. "25/5/2003 changed history. The arrival of Néstor Kirchner initiated a path of moral reparation, social justice and human rights. On his 20th birthday, I call on everyone to honor him in Plaza de Mayo and listen to his life partner, @CFKArgentina," he wrote.
