Sergio Massa cede espacios de poder en la Provincia. El reparto de lugares y espacios mantenía en territorio bonaerense un tenso equilibrio entre el gobernador Axel Kicillof, La Cámpora y el peso específico que expresa el Frente Renovador del ex candidato presidencial de Unión por la Patria (UxP).
Pero ese acuerdo implícito muestra desajustes. Esta semana el massismo perdió el manejo de la empresa estatal Aubasa, concesionaria de la Autovía 2 y de la autopista Buenos Aires- La Plata. Estuvo conducida por dirigentes renovadores desde el primer día de la gestión de Kicillof. Primero, fue Javier Osuna (intendente de Las Heras) quien estuvo unos meses –con licencia en su municipio- y luego retomó las tareas en el distrito ubicado a 180 kilómetros al oeste de esta capital.
Luego lo reemplazó Ricardo Lissalde, también de la “línea fundadora” del FR, quien se mantuvo en la compañía vial hasta diciembre, cuando alcanzó una banca en la Legislatura, en los comicios de octubre de 2023.
La sucesión derivó en una prolongada negociación que involucró a los tres “pilares” que sostienen al oficialismo provincial: Kicillof, el líder de La Cámpora, Máximo Kirchner y el exministro de Economía de Alberto Fernández.
Se demoró más de tres meses. En el ínterin, la firma estatal fue conducida por un técnico que respondía a Carlos Bianco, mano derecha del gobernador y jefe del Gabinete de Asesores. La pulseada fue extensa, pero se suturó sin consenso.
Aubasa informó este miércoles que el nuevo presidente es Juan Guillermo Sauro, un especialista en derecho tributario que trabaja desde hace más de una década con Gabriel Katopodis, ministro de Infraestructura de la Provincia. El dirigente de San Martín, que ocupó ese rol en Nación, en los cuatro años del gobierno de Alberto Fernández, comienza a ganar lugares en el gabinete provincial.
El reparto de los lugares relevantes de la empresa determinó la llegada de Luis Ceriani (ex Aerolíneas Argentinas) como gerente general, con una fuerte ligazón a La Cámpora y del ex legislador provincial Walter Abarca –de buena sintonía con el gobernador- como vicepresidente.
Massismo stopped managing this company
that has more than 1,000 employees, 800 kilometers of concession in the Atlantic Corridor (routes 2, 11, 63, 55 and 74) and access to CABA from the south of the Conurbano with the AU Buenos Aires -The Silver.
In 2023, the company managed
a budget of 18 billion pesos
and had a
red line of 4 billion pesos
, according to the calculation made before beginning the year.
The accountability has not
yet been published.
Conditions
“Massa doesn't have Aubasa because
he didn't ask for it
,” is the argument they put forward around Tigrense.
Others who know the relationship – now tense – between the former minister and the governor assure that he preferred to give up management of the company rather than being
“conditioned by La Cámpora.”
“They ruin everything they manage
,” they warn in the union that has the majority of members in the concession.
Facundo Moyano
– who founded that union and maintains influence intact – was always critical of the management.
“
They spent almost two years with the rate frozen.
“ They did
populism
with the company,” he said in stages of conflict.
The bond between the renewal leader and the son of the former vice president
was not recovered
after UxP lost the runoff with Javier Milei.
Kirchner Jr. intends to sustain his institutional role.
Although questioned,
he will continue to lead the Buenos Aires PJ.
He began some tours of the districts and 20 days ago he held a plenary session that Kicillof did not attend.
The agreement between Massa and La Cámpora that allowed legislative coexistence in the ruling party would also be damaged.
An implicit pact persists that involves the management of the Presidency of Deputies for the Camporismo (in association with the group that Martín Insaurralde built before the scandals over “Chocolate” Rigau and the yacht in Marbella) and Massa to share that chair for a year each.
Deputy Alejandro Di Chiara started and at the end of 2024 it would be Rubén Eslaiman's turn or someone else from the renewalist movement.
But that pact would also be broken.
Massa noted his anger - due to this friction and the alleged lack of response from the Buenos Aires Executive to the proposals of the 19 mayors who have the seal of the FR - in a special session of Deputies in mid-February.
He ordered the 10 legislators who respond to him to get up from their seats and
abandon supporting the proposals sent by the Government
.
“
Kicillof was very angry
because of that attitude.
He tested his authority.
Now the answer has arrived,” interpreted a leader who has an office on 6th Street, headquarters of the provincial government palace.
Other expressions in these areas are less friendly.
“Later we asked ourselves why we lost to Milei,” they reproach between grumbling.
There was no rebound – for the moment – in the other massist “enclave” in the provincial cabinet: the
Ministry of Transportation, headed by Jorge D'Onofrio.
As was foreseeable, massism had to vacate the spaces that it deployed in the administration of Alberto Fernández in the national structure.
Upon the departure of Malena Galmarini – and the entire management line that responded to her – from Aysa, the
withdrawal to Trenes Argentinos was added.
Until a few days ago, the second and third lines that ran the railway company with President Martín Marinucci, remained in their offices.
But the
order came from the national government to take control of the company,
which has more than
23,000 employees and a deficit of almost 800 million pesos per day,
according to results published until mid-2023.
Marinucci was – until this week – the candidate to move to Aubasa.
But that didn't happen.
The appointment of Marinucci's replacement was surprising.
This is Adrián Luque, general manager of Legal (from the previous administration) and
former councilor of San Miguel for the Frente Renovador.
The order that the new management issued is to specify
a reduction in jobs of between 15 and 25% depending on the area.
But that is already a decision of the Nation and unrelated to massism.
A place for Malena Galmarini
The former presidential candidate now has another account pending resolution:
Malena Galmarini intends to relocate to the presidency of the Bapro Group,
the holding company for insurance and occupational risk companies (among others) that belong to the provincial bank.
There is no progress in that management either.
And the delay further resents the link in the tripod that supports UxP in the Province.
Positions are discussed, spaces that are never vacant.
In short, the foundations of political power.
