The alleged master class that Cristina Kirchner gave this Thursday at the Teatro Argentino de La Plata was titled “April 27, 2003-2023. The Circular Argentina. The IMF and its historic recipe for inflation and recession”, in relation to the 20 years since Néstor Kirchner landed at the Casa Rosada. However, as is customary for the vice president, her full exposition went through several other issues, including her eventual presidential candidacy. It was logical given the “cry” of those present.
From the beginning of the speech, the militancy that had obtained a seat in the venue chanted the now classic “Cristina presidenta”. The vice president was in charge throughout the afternoon of this Thursday of giving the masses reasons to be excited, but without being precise and leaving all the doors open.
“I was thinking of coming to give a master class, but it seems to me that it will be more than just a class…”, she maintained at the beginning of her words until she was interrupted by the cry of a militant who, although it was not clearly heard During the broadcast, it is estimated that he would have asked for his candidacy.
“Calm down, don’t curl your hair, I’ve already told you many times,” Cristina interrupted the woman who was shouting from outside the shot, laughing, realizing what she had caused in the audience that she couldn’t help but chant again. “Cristina President”.
Resigned to what she had generated, she launched between smiles: “Oh, God!”
The previous sequence was the first of others that took place during the afternoon-night of La Plata regarding the possibility that the vice president returns to the race for a third presidential term, despite her no.

Later, she did not miss an opportunity to recall the sentence she received in the Highway case, which, in addition to spending six years in prison, disqualifies her from holding public office for life. The ruling was taken by the hardest Christians as an electoral proscription, although in fact this is not the case since the sentence is not firm while it was appealed by the prosecutor and by the vice president herself.
“Here it is no coincidence that the only political leader who was convicted, proscribed, disqualified and tried to assassinate is only one,” he launched to immediately clarify that he did not seek to be “self-referential.”
The idea of proscription has the hardest Kirchnerism in trouble. On the one hand, they demand the candidacy of Cristina Kirchner, while at the same time they maintain that she cannot run because she is almost prohibited.
A few minutes later, in a clear attack on Javier Milei, although he avoided naming him throughout the entire presentation, he took up his words about the “fear” of the political “caste” of being left without privileges. “What are you afraid of, if nothing ever happened to you, brother? What are you coming to fuck me? Where are we afraid of you? Cheers! ”, He affirmed already in a higher tone.
And he continued: “It is incredible. Persecuted, my children, they wanted to kill me, they don’t want to investigate those who wanted to kill me and who have obvious commitments to business sectors in Argentina. I am afraid that my grandchildren may grow up in such an unfair country. So inequitable, that’s what I’m afraid of”.
And it was there that he suggested that she might not be a candidate for president. “I already lived, I already gave what I had to give, I already lived,” she said, and then added, “I’m afraid for the young people, the kids, because there is too much cowardice, hypocrisy.”

CFK’s suggestive criticism of Alberto Fernández
Not even the fact that he has given up running for a second term saves him from the darts camouflaged in euphemisms that Cristina Kirchner throws at Alberto Fernández every time he speaks.
The former president maintained that the agreement signed with the IMF is “inflationary” and added that this effect is the “great problem that Argentine society has.” After warning that the initialed agreement consists of a “canned policy that is applied as a monothematic recipe to all countries”, she called to “review the clauses”.
At that point, and in line with the currency run registered this week that led the blue dollar to close to $500, he called on all political forces to “sit down” “not to see if there will be labor flexibility or free public education or not free”.
Cristina called for progress in an “agreement” on economic matters so that “the country functions normally and each election is not a birth and a drama each exchange movement.” In that regard, in a gesture with which she seemed to place herself outside the ruling coalition, she called for building “government programs” because she, she said, “is not about people.”
Towards the end, the vice president recalled the speech she gave in the town of Avellaneda, where she called on the entire militancy to take the “marshal’s baton” and each one go out to military the project in the street.

“Do not use the marshal’s baton to give it over the head to another comrade, but precisely to be able to help think about a society, a different country and see how each of us can build a better future,” the vice president asked the militancy .
The phrase collides head-on with the attacks that the toughest Cristinism has carried out against the Albertista wing of the Frente de Todos, even with the harsh criticism that Cristina herself launched against Martín Guzmán that led to the departure of the minister and a currency run on half of 2022.
