In the midst of renewed rumors that Cristina Kirchner could be a presidential candidate, the sector close to President Alberto Fernández came out to rule out that possibility. “It will not go anywhere on the ballot,” shot a national government official.
The spokesperson for that official position was the Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz, who maintained that “she has already told all of us militants to go out in the military, to build the future, that she gave everything of herself, that she is not going to be a candidate, that she is not going to go anywhere on the ballot in the next election.”
After the rumor began to circulate that the head of the Senate could review her position of “not being a candidate for anything”, the national official specified: “I want to remind you that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner never in her political career let a decision as important as if she is a candidate”. And she clarified: “I have no other information than knowing Cristina in how and in what way she communicates her decisions. And yes, I have the responsibility of not stopping before a plinth and news of journalistic transcendence”.
The truth is that from the Vice President’s own environment, the rumor that Cristina could review her decision not to be a candidate was allowed to leak, which renewed the operative clamor that had lost strength in recent days.
Cristina Kirchner herself had deflated it during the act that she led at the Teatro Argentino where the phrase “I already gave everything I had to give” resounded.
However, the versions about a possible candidacy were installed again and a cascade of ultra K leaders got on the news and the request for Cristina to be a presidential candidate.
In this context, in the Buenos Aires Government they slip, even when they insist that the Vice President be a candidate, that there is no change of scenery that could make them rethink the idea already outlined by the majority shareholder of the Frente de Todos.
In this context, the former Minister of Agriculture and former president of the Chamber of Deputies, Julián Domínguez, assured that “the opinion” of the Vice President “will be decisive for the election of the candidacies” in the Frente de Todos. “The opinion will be decisive for the candidacies. People trust a lot in the opinion and ancestry that they have” the Vice President, said the former official.
