The Frente de Todos (FdT) ended 2022 closing ranks before the Supreme Court ruling that favored the City of Buenos Aires in the dispute over the federal co-participation that it maintains with the Nation, a position of unity that was strengthened after the diffusion of some chats that revealed conversations that the Buenos Aires Minister of Justice and Security, Marcelo D’Alessandro, had with Silvio Roblesspokesman for the head of the highest court, Horacio Rosatti.
In addition, during an act that took place this week in Avellaneda, the vice president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner encouraged the leaders of the PJ to “take the baton of command”in a speech loaded with electoral meaning.
The last days of the year in the official coalition were a faithful summary of what happened during a 2022 in which there were disagreements. The first on the list to try to find unity was President Alberto Fernández.
In a television interview, Alberto Fernández left definitions about the FdT and predicted a victory in 2023.
With a temperature in accordance with December and the months prior to the start of the 2023 electoral campaign, the friction increased and from all the sectors that make up the FdT they charged against the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, one of the candidates for Juntos for Change (JXC) to the presidency
One of the first to come out to question the Buenos Aires government and the Court was Gerardo Zamora, a governor of great political weight, but with an extremely low profile, so his reaction surprised his own.
Zamora, annoyed by the Court’s ruling in favor of the City for the co-participation, considered that “It cannot be that Rosatti continues in Court”, after those exchanges that came to light, it was exhibited how Robles gave the Buenos Aires minister information about a sentence that the highest court was preparing to issue.
“It cannot continue until this is resolved. I don’t know if the word is obscene or pornographic. This is an unprecedented scandal and it is very serious for the entire country,” Zamora lashed out.
Another of the governors who reacted and targeted the head of the Buenos Aires government was Axel Kicillof, from Buenos Aires, who referred to Rodríguez Larreta’s political responsibility by pointing out that “If you were aware of this, as this seems to indicate, it is extremely serious.” “And if he was not aware, he must react by throwing D’Alessandro out immediately,” the president said.
For his part, the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo ‘Wado’ De Pedro, assured that “the leaking of the chats shows a scandalously promiscuous relationship between Rodríguez Larreta’s security minister and Rosatti’s main adviser”.
In turn, the national deputy and man of confidence of the President, Leandro Santoro, ironically affirmed that “Argentine democracy is going to owe a lot to D’Alessandro”. “All the suspicions that we had in all orders, if they come true to verify these chats, they are verified”, said the deputy.
The Buenos Aires Minister of Government, Cristina Álvarez Rodríguez, also described Rodríguez Larreta’s silence on the subject as “scandalous.”
One step further was the pro-government deputy Rodolfo Tailhade, who forgot his own disputes and focused on the conflicts of Together for Change (JxC), since This new leak would be “the product of the internship maintained by Rodríguez Larreta and -the head of the PRO- Patricia Bullrich”by the leadership of the opposition coalition.
“If they leave D’Alessandro inside the Buenos Aires government, they expose themselves to questions and complaints from the opposition and also from their own. Patricia Bullrich is not going to stop eating this candy”, said Tailhade.
With the internal opposition, the FdT keeps its own waters calmer although these times are dominated by the feeling of the lack of a clear and natural presidential candidate.
The Vice President’s decision to announce that she would not be a candidate “for anything” in 2023 After being sentenced to six years in prison and disqualified from holding public office, the outlook for future applications was complicated.
After that impact, this last week, Cristina publicly reappeared in an act in the municipality of Avellaneda and left several phrases resounding in the ears of all the spaces that make up the FDT.
On his political future, he noted: “My thing was not a resignation, nor self-exclusion; It was a ban, and finished: “Each comrade, each leader, each militant, has his marshal’s baton in his backpack. get him out And don’t ask anyone’s permission to take it out.”
Given this definition, Relatives and colleagues of the 12 from Santa Cruz released an open letter addressed to the Vice Presidentin which they assured that their “proscription affects the majority of the Argentine people.”
“Here we are willing to defeat the ban, the polls will then give us victory. Leadership is not transferred. Love mobilizes and spreads, the organization galvanizes that union between the leaders and their peoples”, they affirmed in the text addressed to Cristina Kirchner.
“My first concern is that the FdT wins the elections. My concern is not re-election. The FdT is going to win. They are beginning to appreciate the efforts we made as a government and they are beginning to realize that we are a great people.”Alberto Fernandez
For his part, in a television interview, Alberto Fernández also defined the FDT and even predicted a victory in 2023.
“We are absolutely competitive. No people commit suicide. No people is going to repeat the same story twice,” she asserted.
He also assured that the FdT candidate for the next elections will be “the one who meets the best conditions” and pointed out that whoever wants to present himself to the PASO within the ruling party will be able to do so.
“My first concern is that the FdT wins the elections. My concern is not re-election. The FdT is going to win. They are beginning to appreciate the efforts we made as a Government and they are beginning to realize that we are a great people, ”he concluded.
