1.- Power not exercised
In institutionally deteriorated Argentina there is no conflict of power. The power just evaporated. It’s over. It must be rebuilt.
The power is vacant.
For a cautiously bureaucratic, slow and conservative body like the Supreme Court to take office, one must have sadly squandered power. Or the worst: not having exercised it.
“If the Court dares you, put a delicatessen better.”
to fight with Juan Carlos MaquedaThe Companion, you have to want to hit the mirror.
Competent, honest, expert in the exercise of politics. He knows more about Peronism than all the improvised attackers put together.

Intellectual who knew how to put together his tickets as a lawyer and prefers to keep the profile underground.

Recognized academic who even inquired in five volumes about the history of Boca Juniors.
At most, there is the suspicion of a governor who reproaches the breach of a certain agreement.
But with Ricardo Lorenzettithe Myth, is often dangerously attractive to face.
The Myth maintains the diplomatic charm of the enigma.
Those who fear him suspect that behind the frank smile there must be a dagger.
During the wasted Third Radical Government – chaired by Mauricio Macri, El Ángel Exterminador – it was feared that Lorenzetti’s objective was to reach, from the Court (which was too small for him), the presidency. But from the country.
Larreta hopes to accommodate the garbage but Macri and Bullrich want to break the economic truce
2.- The “epic”
It is tempting to attribute, as the person most responsible for the evaporation of power, to Alberto FernandezThe Unpopular Poet, who presides over the government of The doctor, “the boss” condemned and banned. And she was explicitly predisposed to auction off the baton.
The stick that she didn’t know how to use either. But she must not fall into the easy temptation of watering her perpetual centrality.
In the literature of Julio Cortázar, the glíglico language was an incomprehensible game but one that was understood by the rhythm (see “Rayuela”).
In Alberto, poor, the absurdity of the glíglico is a destiny.
He prefers, as a management balance, to divulge the exploits of an “epic”.
He drives an odyssey promoted by the vigorous ladies who survive in his environment.
Mrs. Victoria Tolosa Paz, La Aplanadora that gives her energy.
Mrs. Vilma Ibarra, La Ideóloga, contributes pieces of solidity.
or the lady Gabriella Cerruti, the Porta Parole, the spokesperson that goes beyond the voice. Even, sometimes, exceed it, in terms of overflows.
For “dragging the brand”, for clearing up habitual criticism or disqualifications, Alberto distinguishes Cerruti. It is essential.
And the imaginary epic is in full swing while the government, mercifully, breaks down.
The insane war against the Court drifts into summer entertainment marked by impossibility. Symptom of the impotence of a government that is wasting a historic moment that, for Argentina, should be one of euphoria.
There is only something as foolish and useless as attacking the Court.
It is to defend it.
Priority of an opposition that has served power on the horizon. But that behaves like the perfect complement of the same impossibility.
Consented paralysis of the Legislative in conflict. While the Executive declares stupid war on the Judicial just when the election calendar opens. “Like an apricot full of honey.”
The bitter fight for what remains of the sweet.
The central theme of January: the impeachment of the Supreme Court
3.- The apricot
When the damask of the candidacy is opened, it is unquestionably pointed to Sergio MassaThe professional.
Actually, Massa is the one who governs today. On whom absolutely everyone depends.
The Professional makes a strange balance with the economy, standing on a rope extended between the fires that he manages to avoid with cunning.
In a permanent game of advances and concessions. Basic Peronism, no money.
Nobody believes Massa that the 2023 electoral bet does not interest him. Or that he only appears to be training for 2027. Which exposes an uncertain basis for optimism. Betting that in 2027 everything can continue standing. Despite the adventure tourism of assuming that another four years of macrismo await.
In the streamlined Larreta version. Unimaginable Bullrich version. Or in the Second Time of the renewed Mauricio Macri version.
But Massa remains stubborn in the balance between the fires and is not afraid of falling.
Meanwhile, to appear in the picture, Alberto entertains himself with the “epic” of his glitchy electoral campaign.
From the mud he dedicates himself to destroying the Angel and what he does is, in practice, consolidate it.
It also enables, just in case, the impulse for the rematch of Daniel ScioliLeader of the Air and Sun Line. A transitory ally who displays the theoretical positivism of “always ready”.
Scioli’s spoiled beach excursions contrast with the projections of Premier Juan Manzur, El Menemcito.
Manzur’s connections are viewed with suspicion.
They range from unionism to governorships and mini-governments.
But Manzur’s source of legitimacy lies in another indecipherable enigma. The mysterious reasons for his powerful relations with “the North”.
Or the explicit privileges that they provide you from Israel. Symbols of possible international support. Especially in the strictly economic.
“The influential countrymen here are middle class compared to Juan’s real friends.”
This is confirmed by “a local countryman”, of cave origin and already a unanimous expert in the subtle poetics of finance.
Until now, only the posters that allude to “John 23” have appeared, complemented by his silence.
And the sensitive Unpopular Poet suddenly feels an intense passion for Juan.
To the extreme of keeping him, however, as Premier, to have him close, or at most in the campaign, in Tucumán.
