Malena Galmarini is known for being a political leader of arms take when it comes to arguing. Remembered for grinding Daniel Scioli in the middle of the 2015 presidential campaign, when she then labeled him "harmful", in order to defend her husband and then also candidate Sergio Massa.
Now, with a lot of water passed under the bridge, the current head of the state company Aysa came to the crossroads of a complaint from a mayor. "Don't make me upload the chat," he warned Diego Valenzuela, of Tres de Febrero, when the leader of Together for Change said he was left out of a sewer inauguration in his own municipality.
Strictly speaking, Mayor Valenzuela was the first to make explicit his complaint – quite logical – about the visit K to the Pablo Podestá neighborhood. But his message was addressed to Governor Axel Kicillof and Interior Minister and virtual campaign candidate Eduardo "Wado" de Pedro, whom he questioned for not inviting him to the inauguration of sewer works in the district he has managed for two terms.
"
Welcome the sewer but regrettable this act in Pablo Podestá: without the mayor and, instead of the neighbors of the neighborhood, the protagonism of the pointers and the political apparatuses, "said the former journalist, with a video of what he graphed as a militant move.
Valenzuela didn't mention Galmarini, but she still picked up the gauntlet and answered, always on Twitter.
"Diego, we were waiting for you like every time I went to Tres de Febrero. But you made your cute video on IG yesterday announcing works you didn't make. And of course you didn't come today. The neighbors also wanted to tell you about the location of the Mayor's Office. It will be the next one," the official reproached him, adding to the agenda claims outside his orbit.
Valenzuela replied in a bureaucratic tone: "I was not invited, in fact a few days ago I learned that Kicillof was coming and I consulted the Ministry of Public Works of the province and there was no response."
But he concluded: "Seeing how the act went, I'm glad I didn't go!"

"On the other hand, Malena, I tell you that the mayor's project is a policy of the province of Buenos Aires. Being an initiative of Kicillof, I suggest that you send him the concerns, "said the communal chief, without dodging the darts of the now also futurecolleague, with his candidacy for mayor of Tigre.
Then the wife of the economy minister returned to the charge with a warning: "Diego, do not make me upload the chat of my secretary with your secretary." And he continued with the chicanes to the management of the municipal chief. "On the mayor's office, the public policy clearly belongs to the Province, however the land where it is located is proposed by the mayors. Theneighbors who were with me know it," he said.
"Again, the mayor as a policy and its location was defined by the Ministry of Justice of the Province, they even took out an expropriation law in the Legislature. Do not continue to confuse the neighbors with falsehoods! It seems incredible that you question a policy of the governor, "replied, sarcastic, the journalist and historian.
In the end, the chat with the alleged invitation to the event in Tres de Febrero was shown by Diego Valenzuela
Diego Valenzuela. in a tour with Lucas Delfino.
Valenzuela lashed out: "I still do not understand why they inaugurated an important work, not with neighbors, but with pointers, militants and planners. I wouldn't have been comfortable in that place at all, but I'm glad because the neighbors have the sewer!"
And before Galmarini's warning, the opposition mayor preferred to cut through the mystery and showed the dialogue by WhatsApp between the mutual advisers to which the head of Aysa had alluded. "I upload it," he wrote and maintained: "This is not an invitation, it is a chicana." And he remarked that the alleged invitation was made on the same day of the act at 7.55, a while before it began.

"Our goal continues to be the happiness of Argentine families" decreed the most exalted leader of La Cámpora and took the opportunity to incite Macrismo, in lands still governed by Together for Change: "We come from some governments that spent a lot on cartels saying they were doing what they were not doing. We don't spend money on communication and we do the works."
"Pablo Podestá that they already have 100% water, and that all of Tres de Febrero will reach 97% water and 95% sewer within a few months," said Galmarini, as head of Aysa.
