"I want to be your President, the President of all Argentine families," Eduardo "Wado" De Pedro said 24 hours ago and anointed himself as a candidate, with the express endorsement of Cristina Kirchner. He did not confirm that Juan Manzur would accompany him in the formula, but in his environment they affirmed that he was already agreed with Cristina. On Thursday, after noon, they took the photos. They never came to light.
The diffusion of the binomial angered the vice president, who keeps this type of announcement under lock and key, but above all it angered Sergio Massa, who was marginalized from the places of prominence.
In the Christian environment they were looking for culprits. Was it Massa, who acted as "spiteful" and leaked the formula? Or was it Manzur himself, who benefited from the formula? Who leaked the news at the wrong time. That's what they wondered. Doubts about Manzur multiplied when the governor-elect of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldo, posted a tweet announcing the news.
"Accompanying @wadodecorrido and @JuanManzurOK as pre-candidates for President and Vice President of the Nation. For a great, supportive and fair Argentina. This is the formula that represents all the provinces of the country, and that the interior and Tucumán will support," he posted.
As soon as the tweet came out, however, leaders who usually talk to Cristina began to sow certain doubts. "Don't hurry," they demanded. In the main news portals they never confirmed the formula.
This Friday, the governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, revealed on radio that several governors went to speak with Massa to raise doubts about Wado's candidacy. "Talk to Alberto and Cristina," Massa told them.
When they went to see the president, Alberto told them: "Propose Massa as a candidate and I put the vice." The negotiation began to escalate. A few hours later Massa moved to get support and Cristina began to give in.
At 20 this Friday, Massa entered to see Cristina in the Senate office. When he came out, he was already a candidate. He went to Cecilia Moreau's office. Clarín had revealed the meeting of the Tigrean with the vice president. Moreau tweeted a photo to try to deny the meeting. After a while, the tweet with the announcement came out on the account of Union for the Fatherland.
