Cristina Kirchner’s speech this Thursday opened a new scenario in the discussion of candidacies. Or not. After the address by the head of the Senate, the leadership that came to La Plata recognized itself in the same place where they were two hours before entering the Ginastera Room: with few certainties about the immediate electoral future of the former president and at the same time with the confirmation that she will lead the space. The day after, the discussion is still open.
“He didn’t get off or get on”warned the Minister of Community Development of the province of Buenos Aires and historic leader of La Cámpora, today at the head of the army of La Patria es el Otro, Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque. The official who followed the speech this Thursday along with the higher-ups of Buenos Aires Peronism K, also said -in statements to futurerock– that “what Cristina Kirchner is proposing is that we try to size up what the challenge is because not even mandrake solves this with a candidacy, a movement of political conscience and popular organization is required that can assume the debate in Argentina”. What Larroque says without saying it is what is talked about in the areas of discussion of Christianity: that She is the only capable one who can be at the forefront of this “political conscience movement”.
For the sector most committed to that idea of breaking “with the ban that weighs on the vice president”, there was no resignation this Thursday in La Plata. On the contrary. “The only guarantee that this will change is Cristina. There is no plan B for us. let’s not get confused”, added this Tuesday the mayor of Ensenada, Mario Seccoin an interview with AM 750.

Behind the words of Larroque, Secco and other leaders there is also the urgency to contain and not despair the bulk of the Kirchner militancy that yesterday filled the vicinity of the Teatro Argentino in the center of the Buenos Aires capital and that it does so every time there is a public appearance of the former president. That bulk of people did not stop singing “Cristina presidenta”. “President, no, no…”, CFK raised. Although he traced an electoral context, with non-explicit allusions to Javier Milei and the Juntos staff, The debate that the former national president put on the table went beyond a candidacy.
Secco, maintains that there is no plan B. Plan A is still Cristina Kirchner candidate. Plan A -bis, in any case- is what the Vice President defines. Therein lies the strategy. For this reason, today, Kirchnerism prefers not to talk about candidacies.
There will be another proclamation that Christianity expects to be massive to “convince” the vice president to review that decision -launched after the ruling in the first instance for the Road Cause that sentenced her to 6 years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office- of “I will not be a candidate for anything”. Be next May 25 -almost a month after the closing of the lists- which also marks the 20th anniversary of the assumption of Néstor Kirchner to the presidency of the country. It talks about a massive march to Plaza de Mayo.
“We are working on it,” admitted Secco. He also said that from other provinces they ask to be part and that what is missing is “that all the ducklings be ordered”. That is to say that the leadership accept and line up behind the leadership of the Vice President.
There was, in this sense, a strong direction. Although the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, did not attend the event in La Plata, yes, there was a full presence of leaders of the Renovation Front, his political party. The content of the talk gave the foot for the Vice President to talk about the current management of the head of Economy, whom she quoted once by her first name and again by her position. The leadership system that Secco talks about seems to be headed And that is why Kirchnerism does not release the letter from Cristina Kirchner candidate. The reading is that first you have to discuss how to carry out the plan that CFK drew up.
The table that was formed for the launch of the Néstor Kirchner Justicialista School also focused on Cristina Kirchner and her power of attraction within the Peronist universe. That the former Minister of Education of the Nation spoke before the Vice President, Nicholas Trotta -a unionist spaceman Victor Santa Maria– It was also quite a political gesture. It is about a figure that was referenced with President Alberto Fernández during his time in office. Massa also made his contribution with the inclusion of the national deputy, monica litza, in the main panel that accompanied the head of the Senate on stage. All around the Vice President.
“We are not here to talk about candidacies, We come to talk about reorganizing the expression of Peronism through the Frente de Todos. We have not come to share the burden, we have come to move the country forward”, said the Minister of Transportation of the province of Buenos Aires, Jorge D’Onofrio -one of Massa’s envoys- before entering the Theater. Kirchnerism now seeks to impose the program proposed by the Vice President. If that is finally achieved, they interpret, they will be closer to a yes: that Cristina Kirchner is a candidate.
