A councilor from La Plata who reports to the Minister of Social Development of the Nation, Victoria Tolosa, Paz, came out at the intersection of the president of the Cultural Institute of the province, Florencia Saintout, and further fueled the fight between the two officials, with the electoral competition for the mayor of La Plata as a background.
The mayor of the FdT, Juan Manuel Granillo Fernández, responded to Saintout, who on Friday had treated Tolosa Paz as an “anti-Peronist”, in the context of the internment unleashed within the national government. “Comrade, here @vtolosapaz is not thinking of any campaign, in fact, he is preaching the Peronist doctrine. Hitting the national government itself, from within, in an off is contributing to the adversary and weakening the movement,” said the councilor. And he fired: “It is time to discuss what is needed up front.”
The crossing originated from the statements that Tolosa Paz made from Mar de Plata about the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo Wado De Pedro, from whose environment they criticized President Alberto Fernández for not inviting him to a meeting that the president had with the president of Brazil, Lula Da Silva, and human rights organizations. The minister dedicated harsh words to her Cabinet partner and demanded definitions: “Either you are in or you are out”, implying that if she is not satisfied she should leave the government.
“It is not very clear to me if it is off-screen information from the minister or from his entourage. If they were statements by the minister himself, I think it is a good time to clarify if it is a transcendent media used for some purpose. It is a good time for the Minister De Pedro can clarify whether this happened or not because they put in his mouth a situation such as a lack of codes. If there is a lack of codes, in any case it is in reference to who is part of a government and criticizes the government,” said Tolosa Paz , in what was the first open response from the presidential environment to a Kirchnerist minister.
Saintout was one of the first to respond to her former rival in the last Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries (PASO) of the FdT for the mayor in 2019.
“Attacking Wado de Pedro thinking about his own electoral campaign is the most anti-Peronist thing there is. Victoria Tolosa Paz, first the homeland, then the movement and finally the people, I repeat it to you because it seems that you never understood it,” Saintout launched into via Twitter.
Tolosa did not speak of the subject again nor did he respond to Saintout. But a side of hers did, who clarified that her boss “is not in the campaign” and warned that “it is time to discuss what is needed in front”, in a message that also triggered multiple readings in the local Peronism for the discussion that is coming about who will fight against the mayor Julio Garro.
