Sergio Massa had his debut in practice as presidential candidate of Union for the Fatherland, although, Minister of Economy of the current Government, he spun a story similar to the excuses of the President. It was this Monday, during the launch of Federico Otermín as a candidate for the mayor of Lomas de Zamora. And it was just hours after he had shared an act with Cristina Kirchner. But in the district that Martín Insaurralde leaves was where he was dispatched with his campaign speech.
Thus, the official candidate for the Casa Rosada justified the failures of Alberto Fernández's administration in the "anchors" he received from the government of Mauricio Macri and in three other justifications that have already become classics of the President's speeches: the pandemic, the war between Ukraine and Russia and the drought.
Massa signed that the Frente de Todos government in 2019 "started conditioned by the IMF as an anchor", but assured that they will not "overcome those or any problem because we are willing to face them". In full negotiation with the international organization, the candidate thus put the blame on Mauricio Macri, in tune with the Kirchner discourse.
Then he acknowledged anger. "There are many people with us, with politics, with constant frustrations, with failures, with the money that is not enough, with the problems of insecurity," he listed, adding: "That somehow forcesus more."
Massa vowed to leave "every drop of sweat, every cubic centimeter" of his blood to "guarantee the triumph of Union for the Fatherland."
The launch ceremony of Otermín also served as an audiovisual platform for the candidates who will compete in the Province of Buenos Aires for Union for the Fatherland.
Present were Axel Kicillof, who will seek re-election as governor, the pre-candidates for senators "Wado" of Pedro and Juliana Di Tullio, and the first pre-candidate for deputy Máximo Kirchner.
In a speech full of thanks – with passages for Wado and for "Maxi" Kirchner, as he called the son of the vice president – Massa alsoseemed to slip a criticism of Daniel Scioli, who insisted with his presidential candidacy until the last moment forcing a PASO in Kirchnerism. It was by praising the management of Felipe Solá in the governorship, ignoring that of the current ambassador to Brazil and drawing a continuity in his approval to that of Kicillof.
"I'm not disqualifying anyone," Massa clarified, attentive to that omission. The other was also evident: there was no gratitude for Alberto Fernández.
