Proscription, candidacies and debate: what is expected of the political table of the Frente de Todos

The call of the president, an attempt to “define the leadership core”

Through his social networks, the president had confirmed the call to a polling station, resisting the central claim of Kirchnerism and pointing out that he aspires to debate the issues of strategies and candidates between Peronism and its allies in this area. In his original call, he had anticipated that he expected the meeting “design the electoral rules of the Front and the strategy to follow with a view to the different elections this year”.

In this sense, one of the main issues discussed is the proposal about the attempt to ban the vice president, which is supported by almost all the forces of the Frente de Todos. The sector of Peronism furthest from Cristina Kirchner pays attention to her word to maintain that she will not compete in the polls, while leaders close to her have launched an operative outcry in recent weeks for her to be a candidate for president.

In addition to this, there was also talk of the need to win the elections before a Together for Change which is still debating the strategy. Another key point was the rPASO certification as a tool to settle the candidacies.

The tense relationship of Alberto Fernández with Eduardo “Wado” from Pedro and the “Cuervo” Larroque

Within the Kirchnerist table are two figures far from albertismo: “Wado” by Pedro and the “Cuervo” Larroque. The differences between the head of state and the La Cámpora benchmark had begun to deepen in 2021, when the official had led the cascade of resignation presentations by officials aligned with Cristina Kirchner, after the defeat in the primary elections that year.

This year the relationship seemed to break up due to a off the record spread from De Pedro’s environment, in which they accused Fernández of “not having codes” for not having added him to a meeting held with human rights organizations in the framework of the visit of the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio “Lula” Da Silva.
