The Frente de Todos accelerates political activity ahead of the elections, although it maintains a lack of definition regarding the candidacies, while leaders seeking to position themselves continue to emerge, all within the framework of a scenario that is beginning to be ordered under the premise of seeking victory with the most competitive options, as President Alberto Fernández remarked in a recent interview.
The initiatives of the ruling party are gaining pace while the calendar of the electoral year advances in a ‘in crescendo’ that will add two significant events in the coming days: the dissemination of the fundamentals of the verdict of the Federal Oral Court (TOF) No. 2 in the Highway case -which in the first instance disqualified Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner from holding public office- and the act called for Saturday March 11 in Avellaneda.
After the formal reunion of the Head of State and the head of the Upper House at the opening of sessions, the FdT had a couple of days of crossed messages between representatives of the different spaces and internal currents, although towards the end of the week the President He stressed again that the priority of all sectors must be to put, above any other difference, the search for a victory.
In an interview with the C5N channel, the president affirmed in this sense that “the only thing” that he asks of all Argentines is that “don’t vote for the opposition and? choose the candidates of the Frente de Todos, which has to be united”.
“Welcome that all those who want to be candidates present themselves in a STEP. The candidate has to be put by the people,” he pointed out.
And in that sense, he deepened: “We have a clear path. My aspiration is not to be re-elected, but to the Front (of All) win. If I am a good option, it will be me; if there is another better, it will be another”.
As on other occasions, the President sent a message of unity to the other internal spaces of the coalition, after referents of Kirchnerism questioned the management of the Government or directly Alberto Fernández himself.
From Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, santiago cafiero highlighted that “the President has put Argentina on its feet. He found an Argentina on its knees, Macri’s Argentina was an Argentina over-indebted, with poverty and without employment. Today it is with an Argentina that is growing, an economy with difficulties, but grows”, valued the chancellor.
“The President is in a position to be the one who has built the future of the country and also the one who carries it out. That is why I propose that he is the best candidate,” proposed Cafiero.
From the political space centered around the Vice President, the Minister of Development of the Buenos Aires Community Andrés Larroque He was the one who ignited the debate by stating: “Those alchemies that sometimes arise from ‘we are going to win with a candidate who measures 5 points’ seem strange to me.”
And I add: “I think the candidate has to be Cristina. I think that with Cristina she wins.”
larroque coordinates the space “The homeland is the Other”, which brings together a fairly wide arc of social, union and political organizations.
from another look, the head of Advisors to the Presidency, Antonio Aracre, He disagreed by stating that “the Vice President has publicly and explicitly said that she does not want to be a candidate.”
“If there is something that characterizes Alberto, it is his democratic spirit, for which he is totally willing to go one STEP. The issue is to see who is encouraged,” challenged Aracre, who added that Alberto is “in a better measurement”.
Meanwhile, from the Harvest Festival in Mendozawhich has become a must for government and opposition leaders, the senator and head of the Mendoza PJ, Anabel Fernandez Sagasti, I consider that “Cristina Fernández should be the candidate for president because she is the one that measures the most and also the one that generates the most followers.”
Sagasti, for example, advised that the launch of the candidacies be formalized “in a context in which clarity is given to the people.”
For his part, the Minister of Public Works, Gabriel Katopodisstated that the priority in the election year will be to recognize government management as a “fundamental tool.”
“We are going to have a very competitive candidate and I think that the Frente de Todos performs better than any other candidate. Today the strategy is to consolidate the Frente de Todos”Katopodis stressed.
To the debates on hypothetical candidacies and the reflections on what would be the best profile to head the list of the ruling party, was added, on the other hand, the impact generated by the Mafia message addressed in Rosario to the captain of the National Team Lionel Messi.
This episode transcended the borders and also generated rflight into the FdT because it reflected once again that within the coalition dissimilar views coexist in the face of events of this type.
No certain date for the second political table meeting, It is expected that next Saturday a campaign will start based on the phrase “50 years after the popular triumph, fight and come back. Cristina 2023“, which will have its epicenter on the property of the UTN Avellaneda and is organized by the so-called ‘Cove Table’ made by Kicillof, Máximo Kirchner and mayors from Buenos Aires.
From the environment of the former president announced that she will not participate in the plenary session in Avellaneda although I could attend on Friday March 10 to an act at the Viedma headquarters of the National University of Río Negro, where would i get my doctorate honoris causa from that house of studies.
If his participation is confirmed, it would be his first public appearance in an act so far this year since the last time he attended an event and gave a speech was last December 27, when he inaugurated a sports center in Avellaneda.
