“Máximo (Kirchner) did an enormous job, he has a personality and a winning political leadership,” he stressed, noting that “in such a way that whoever has to carry out this work from now on has to do it understanding that he has to seek cohesion in the Frente de Todos and also continue with the political and parliamentary work”.
Likewise, he expressed that “the work of these two years from the point of view of the results for the Government and in the success of the laws that we promoted from the government, had been important.”
asked if there is risk of fracture in the ruling bloc After Kirchner’s resignation, he assured that “no” and stated that “the same letter from the then president of the block is stating that what there is is a unification of the block beyond the nuances that may exist around one issue or another” .
The period of extraordinary sessions which the Government itself called began this Tuesday without a president of the ruling bloc, after the resignation of the Vice President’s son.
The explosive announcement by Máximo Kirchner did not take the president by surprise Alberto Fernandez, to whom he anticipated his disagreement about what was agreed with the IMF last Wednesday in Olivos. However, the Head of State will have to define the new president of the block and his intention is to do so before leaving for Russia, the first destination of his international tour.
“He resigned and tomorrow we will be defining who will replace him”, said the President in statements to C5N after repeating that the deputy assured him that “Cristina did not agree with the resignation but that he felt better being on the plain”, something difficult to believe given the party structure of Kirchnerism.
as far as he could tell Ambit, Alberto Fernández spoke on Monday with the president of the Chamber of deputies, Sergio Massa, with whom he agreed to the meeting that finally took place today.
One of the main names that sound for the replacement is that of the current vice president of the bloc, Cecilia Moreau. From the Renovating Front and close ties with Máximo, the daughter of Leopoldo Moreau has vast experience to lead, although there are those who think that this would imply an imbalance of forces in the lower house since Sergio Massa would thus remain with the presidency of Deputies and of the block.
In the dance of names, the one from Santa Fe also sounded strong German Martinez, man of Agustin Rossi. “(Rossi) has been a very important person for me not only in what was his specific area, in the Ministry of Defense, but he was a very important pillar when making decisions, because he has that virtue of having a of reading reality that I value very much”, Fernandez emphasized in August as he fired the then outgoing minister and while Jorge Taiana was sworn in as the new defense minister. In fact, As this medium learned, the President held a meeting on Monday with Rossi.
The man from Santa Fe knows the cloth and is also a man from the interior, something that many requested in Balcarce 50. Due to these qualities, the name of Jose Luis Gioja.
was also added to the list Paula Penacca. In the Government they consider that, due to their belonging to La Cámpora, a possible step to the front of the bloc could settle the discussion on the cohesion of the official front.
In the last few hours the names of Leandro Santoro, Carlos Heller and Eduardo Valdes. However, the decision will be announced by Alberto Fernández himself before boarding the presidential plane.
