The vice president had to admit the mistake of having nominated Wado De Pedro and giving a rude turn to the ruling party.
What in 2019 was recognized as a surprise move that changed the game in a way that allowed Peronism to return to government, this Friday became a rude turn by Cristina Kirchner, who, forced by the failure of her presidential formula proposal , she had to admit her mistake and let the cascade of complaints from governors and mayors cut off the presidential plan of her favorite, Wado de Pedro, fervently promoted by herself as a “son of the decimated generation” who deserves to take the post in the can.
Just as De Pedro had reached that nomination burdened by the disadvantages of public ignorance, his belonging to La Cámpora -one of the most unpopular sectors of Kirchnerism- and a gray four-year management together with President Alberto Fernández, Massa will also campaign with a very heavy backpack: he is the Minister of Economy who has the worst inflation numbers in three decades on his record.
Inflation, the price of the dollar, the exchange gap, the lack of foreign currency, the restrictions to import and the growth of poverty, more than the opposition candidates, will be the dilemmas that the presidential candidate of Unión will have to deal with. for my country.
As an advantage, Massa will be able to say that he managed to gather internal support in the ruling party: governors, mayors and unions will join the support that Cristina Kirchner provided him a year ago, when the then president of the Chamber of Deputies chose to become the only vector of the appalling relationship of the vice president with Alberto Fernández. Massa was a link, inclined towards Cristina’s side, but a link nonetheless. Without Massa’s efforts as a mediator, the government would most likely have exploded. Peronism in full recognized him that role.
The problem that Unión por la Patria has is that, whatever candidate it has, it has the electoral limits in which the ruling party was confined as a result of the very deficient management of Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner.
The mayors of the Conurbano have been warning for some time that, when they measure the intention to vote that the complete ruling party has in their districts, they detect that the levels are almost identical to those of Peronism in 2015. That was the year in which that Peronism lost the presidency of the Nation and also the governorship of the Province of Buenos Aires against Cambiemos. Now, the situation has an aggravating factor: at that time, Massa was out of Kirchnerism, and now, with Peronism united and he inside, the entire space measures the same as what was collected then by the ballot headed by Daniel Scioli and sponsored by Cristina.
Why did Cristina admit a formula made up of a man who has already betrayed her once and another who today answers to Alberto Fernández? One possible answer is that she believes that the ruling party will lose the presidency and that her best strategy is for her army to take refuge in the legislative lists.
