Alberto Fernandez He poses in the candidate’s suit seven months before the elections. Until now nothing indicates that he will get out of the campaign for re-election and is hyperactive. The year began with meetings with governors, mayors; and trips to the coast and to the interior of the country as part of the electoral strategy, with a spot riddled with criticism of the former president Mauricio Macri.
During the first weeks of summer, the head of state toured Misiones, Mendoza and La Pampa to inaugurate works together with governorsexcept with Rodolfo Suárez from Mendoza, angry with the Casa Rosada for the conflict in Portezuelo del Viento.
The Government will not only seek to intensify the local agenda but will focus his plans on international relations. Alberto Fernández will spend most of the week at the Celac summit to be held on Tuesday in Buenos Aires with the presence of the Brazilian president, Lula de Silva, and at bilateral meetings with regional leaders.
Alberto Fernández and elections: agenda focused on provinces
Official sources confirmed that the President will visit the provinces of Chaco, Entre Ríos and Catamarca in the coming weeks. The president will arrive in the impenetrable Chaco on February 1 with the aim of inaugurate works and deliver homes.
The importance of the visit will be focused on the dialogue with the governor, Jorge Capitanich, who asked the head of state to use the DNU to advance different bills since Together for Change refuses to give a quorum until the ruling party withdraws the request for impeachment against all members of the Supreme Court of Justice.
The provincial president pressured the Executive with the signing of a presidential decree to increase the number of judges in the highest court and reform the Magistracy Council.
Alberto Fernández is the only leader of the Frente de Todos who is shown with intentions of competing in the presidential electionswhile waiting for a definition of who will be the candidate for Kirchnerism.
The president focuses his campaign on seeking the support of the governors to seek his re-election this year
The campaign agenda will include the Buenos Aires suburbs, with a focus on public works management and housing creation. They are two of the ministries that still respond to the Casa Rosada.
The call to the Congress of the PJ
As part of the electoral strategy, the President could convene the National Congress of the PJ at the end of February in view of organize the internal party in the face of the assembly of lists. The call needs the support of the governors, who agreed with prosecuting the judges of the Court but are not convinced of the candidacy for reelection. If Alberto achieves a quorum for gather all the peronism, will have the unit photo with the most important leaders and governors. The head of state is also President of the PJ at the national level, and will also need the approval of the president of the PJ Congress, Gildo Insfrán, with a formal convocation. Otherwise, I would call the PJ Council, which has less political weight.
The space of the PJ Congress always served as the initial stage for the definition of the strategy and electoral fronts, as happened in 2019 with the formation of the Frente de Todos with the inclusion of Kirchnerism, the Renewal Front and other forces, which finally led to the election of Alberto Fernández as a candidate, who today is the main promoter of resolving the candidacies in a STEP. Undoubtedly, the meeting will kick off the course that Peronism will take in 2023.
The cry for CFK 2023
Some sectors of Christianity wish that the President uses that date to give up his aspirations for re-electionsomething that in the albertismo for now they rule it out.
Most likely, it will open the door to a great primary and call for party unity, while Kirchnerism clamors for “CFK 2023.” After a few weeks in silence, Cristina Kirchner returned to Buenos Aires and will have an international role during the reserved meeting with Lula in the Senate.
the hard wing demands again the call to a political table to settle the candidacies, and wants the vice president to leave behind the proscription that Justice resolved.
The only expression this year was linked against the Judiciary, which he questioned -through Twitter- for the closure of the case in which the chats between the Buenos Aires minister, Mauricio D’Alessandro, and the spokesman for the president of the Court, Horacio Rosatti.
Alberto Fernández is the only one who gave concrete signs of competing. Without confirmation, Axel Kicillof, Wado de Pedro, Sergio Massa and Jorge Capitanich are added to the list. The Buenos Aires governor warned that he will go for a second term but that he will abide by the decisions of his political chief.
The Minister of the Interior moves as a candidate but is also waiting for a political nod to launch himself; while the head of Economy warned that he does not plan to appear in these elections.
The Chaco governor has already expressed that he is encouraged to fight in a presidential election after gaining prominence among the governors, especially with the northern group. The centrality that Capitanich achieved in the attack against the Court and in the claim for provincial funds places him within the proposals of the vice president.
