In politics and outside of it, there are many who feel entitled to walk through life with the
peronometer
.
As is rarely remembered, at least in the democratic life of the country,
Javier Milei's disruption completely dislocated Justicialism.
To the point that almost no PJ leader with territorial power dares to directly confront Milei, perhaps to avoid the angry presidential reaction.
Thus, no one seems to be able or willing to order Peronism.
The formal president of the party barely
completed this week his self-imposed exile in Madrid
and that of his Buenos Aires namesake, mute as giraffes.
Alberto Fernández
had anticipated that he would take a leave of absence from the party leadership as soon as he returned to the country, but although he arrived in Buenos Aires on Friday, it is still not known when he will make his move to the national party leadership.
Máximo Kirchner
also seems exiled, but without leaving Buenos Aires.
Only on Saturday, and for the first time since Sergio Massa's project lost the elections,
he agreed to meet with the Buenos Aires PJ in Cañuelas.
"Maxi is, how to say, still getting over the blow. I don't want to say defeated, but exhausted. The fall of Martín (Insaurralde) took him away. He knows and we also know that he can no longer drive. Still, there won't be any big changes "At the moment, no one is going to come out to confront, at least frontally. If Milei hits the iceberg, that is, if that famous V of the economy does not turn around, they are going to start seeing us in the media,"
A Conurbano chief who was in Cañuelas
told Clarín
.
Máximo Kirchner met on Saturday with several PJ leaders.
"He is very beaten," they described him.
On Saturday
neither Axel Kicillof nor Sergio Massa were there
.
They agreed to invite them, separately, to future meetings.
On Monday, almost out of the blue, a group of community leaders from the GBA went to see the Governor in La Plata.

The representative of La Cámpora referred to the President's measures and responses on networks.
Kicillof wanted to know first-hand if he was going to have the support of the Conurbano chiefs in his fight with Milei over the elimination of the Fiscal Strengthening Fund.
This is $850,000 million that Cristina ordered Alberto Fernández to grab from Horacio Rodríguez Larreta in 2020.
The PJ retreated and lost the street.
The same as the Evita Movement, Grabois and a good part of the rest of the left-wing social organizations.
The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, took advantage of her moment, imposed protocol and traffic is loose, in a context of crisis that in other times would trigger street chaos.
For her part, Milei seems to be celebrating victories in rhetorical discourse, with attacks, insults and misplacements that, far from frightening, seem to entertain her followers.
But Milei's rhetoric or Bullrich's protocol are not the only problem in
the swamp of problems that Peronism has.
It is not the lack of a compass that confuses the militants and leaders with territorial power such as Governors and mayors, but rather who indicates which cardinal point to face as opposition to the libertarian advance.
"
Máximo (Kirchner) and Wado (de Pedro) are not going to come and run for me, they never knew what it was like to work
," shoots the former president of the Buenos Aires PJ and mayor of Esteban Echeverría, Fernando Gray.
Remanded but no less true: power in Peronism is held by the one who has the most votes.
Or, conversely, the more internal damage it can cause.
Several elections ago, Cristina did not have and does not have the votes to win.
But it does to hurt provincial candidates, but above all, the municipalities of the Conurbano.
"
Massa has nothing to do with what I think and propose
. It is not the way to build. I think that way of building led us to such a level of failure that it was the only way for a Milei to become President" said Julio Zamora, a Peronist communal leader who widely won his elections in the midst of a war unleashed with the former all-powerful economy minister.
