Cristina Kirchner’s speech in the Plaza de Mayo was a turning point in the electoral discussion of the Frente de Todos. The subsequent and immediate appearance of the spot by Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro and the posters announcing his presence on the electoral field, added to the suggestive photos with Sergio Massa in Mercedes, his hometown, began to clarify the panorama.

In Kirchnerism they are sure that De Pedro and Massa will occupy a relevant place on the lists that will close on June 24. President, vice president, head of deputies and senators, governor of Buenos Aires. Their last names will be in one of those places. The place on stage that CFK gave them was interpreted as a clear sign that they will be protagonists.

On Saturday De Pedro was at the closing session of the Tertiary and University students of the Evita Movement. The leader of the social organization, Emilio Pérsico, was also present there. “We came here to listen to Wado, who is one of our candidates, and is a partner of that generation, as Cristina says, who is the one who has to take charge of Argentina,” he said, as Infobae was able to reconstruct, the leader social. More than a nod to the camp minister.

For Evita it was an important meeting because it had continuity with the one they had last week with Cristina and Máximo Kirchner in Congress. And, furthermore, because Patricia Cubría, Pérsico’s wife and pre-candidate for mayor of La Matanza, was present at the meeting this weekend. Although it was not a sign of support, it served to raise her profile and show her close to the strongest presidential candidate that Kirchnerism has.

De Pedro is committed to a campaign in which he seeks to generate political consensus within the Frente de Todos and raise its level of knowledge. Both things will be key in the final stage prior to the closing of the lists because they will position it in the electoral scenario with more possibilities of being competitive. The decision of the Evita Movement to open its doors to him was a positive sign for his political project.

This Monday he will share an activity with Axel Kicillof in La Plata and will star in a new high-impact political photo. Over the weekend, the Minister of the Interior was with Massa, who also met with Kicillof. The Minister of Economy traveled to China yesterday, in search of funds, with Máximo Kirchner. The quartet of leaders positioned by CFK in the last act took over the political and electoral agenda in 48 hours. It’s not by chance.

In the Buenos Aires government there seems to be more calm due to De Pedro’s jump to the national court and the appearance of Massa next to him with an electoral key speech. “Our generation, with Sergio and Axel and with the rest of our colleagues, we are going to rethink new ideas for a new world,” said the Minister of the Interior last Saturday.

Kicillof continues with his re-election plan endorsed by Cristina Kirchner. “He is the natural candidate for Governor because of the management he is carrying out, because of the level of knowledge, of voting intention that he has,” Carlos Bianco, an extremely trusted official of the Governor, said yesterday. In the government of Buenos Aires they close ranks and hope that the phone does not ring at the last minute as part of a sudden change in the electoral strategy.

In parallel, the Daniel Scioli-Agustín Rossi duo is in the trenches of the Casa Rosada giving the internal battle to sustain the PASO as a system to decide the candidacies. The ambassador in Brazil speaks almost every day in some medium and firmly maintains his will to compete in the primary elections. The modality in the integration of the lists still needs to be defined, a tough discussion that is taking place. He heads to make it through the D’Hondt system.

In the last few hours, he clarified that he has both feet inside the plate and that he will not leave the Frente de Todos, as he had suggested when he stated that he would compete the same if Kirchnerism tried to cancel the PASO. The last public message was more incisive and she sought to mark the court harshly.

“Who says that Cristina doesn’t want the PASO? She prompted them. I have never heard her say that and look, she has talked a lot lately,” Scioli said. Her statement is a reality. The Vice President never alluded to the need to hold primary elections or, in her refusal, to the possibility of forming a unity formula that is supported by all sectors of Peronism.

Scioli avoids confrontation with Kirchnerism but lets it be known that his vocation to compete is not going to collapse easily. The idea of ​​keeping the primary elections afloat began as Alberto Fernández’s, but it was diluted along with the loss of his real power. As this process took place, other actors had to take the field to fight, such as the case of the Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz.

Agustín Rossi will launch this Monday as a candidate for president

This line of work will be joined this Monday by Agustín Rossi, who will launch his candidacy for president and will highlight the need for Peronism to settle differences and candidacies in a few STEP. The Chief of Staff, along with Daniel Scioli and Juan Grabois, who also calls for inmates, will make up the shortlist of confirmed presidential candidates.

“When I look at the polls, when four ruling party candidates are measured, we are at 35 points and when fewer candidates are measured we have fewer points. We would have to take advantage of the PASO instrument so that our coalition gets the most points,” El Chivo explained in a radio interview. He defends that theory. He is fighting a difficult battle at a difficult moment in the electoral negotiation.
