Axel Kicillof feels that he has the responsibility of guaranteeing, expanding and consolidating the victory he obtained in the province of Buenos Aires on August 13 with the objective set not only on his re-election, but also achieve the pass to the runoff for Sergio Massa. That’s what I was doing when the scandal over Martín Insaurralde’s VIP tripan episode from which he evaluates that it came out quickly and decisively. “In three hours we kicked him out”they say in the most intimate environment although in public it was a resignation.
“My ministers cannot be on a yacht”, the Buenos Aires governor was heard saying in one of the moments when he was most angry. But the campaign must continue and this Saturday he will tour the Conurbano in a caravan of more than 80 kilometers that will leave Berisso and end in La Matanza.
“My ministers cannot be on a yacht,” the governor complained privately.
They will join the tour mayors seeking a new mandate, local, provincial and national candidates. The beginning is at kilometer zero of Peronism, it will continue through Ensenada, pass through Florencio Varela, Berazategui, Quilmes, and end in the most populous district in the country. The objective is to start at 10 in the morning and end in the late afternoon in Plaza Dorrego de González Catán.
Sergio Massa will join La Matanza, who reserved Friday and part of Saturday for rehearsals for the second presidential debate this Sunday. The presidential candidate appears to be in total harmony with Axel Kicillof. One Saturday ago, the calls and messages between the two leaders multiplied more than usual.
Heading to Santiago del Estero, the Tigrense communicated several times with the governor. They both thought the same: Martín Insaurralde could no longer serve as chief of staff. Massa went further and asked that he withdraw from the candidacy for councilor.
In Lomas de Zamora there are almost 600 thousand voters qualified to vote, who upon entering the dark room on October 22 would have encountered a prominent figure from Insaurralde at the same level as the candidate for mayor. What’s more: they shared a photo, and there was the problem: if until a few weeks ago the man from Lome could push the ballot upwards, now, without a doubt, he would drag the entire section. You have to lose the fewest number of votes.
In the last hours in the official ranks there was relief. Axel Kicillof continues to be the most voted candidate according to surveys carried out after Marbellagate.
“The good thing is that an accusation of jets no longer hurts us Peronists,” said a national official ironically when evaluating how much the campaign could be affected. But the ruling party is upset about the complaints against María Eugenia Vidal for illicit enrichment or the hiring of deputy Gerardo Milman that came to court. They do not generate the same media impact than those of the ruling party or cause resignations.
Massa made sure that Insaurralde’s photo was not in the dark room
The harmony between Kicillof and Massa will be seen this Saturday in the district with the largest number of voters, in which Fernando Espinoza prepares to give Peronism a victory. There will also be the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro, and the deputy Máximo Kirchner, head and political protector of Insaurralde.
The candidates for governor and president of UxP lead the Peronist renewal and are part of the transition for the leadership that the vice president left vacant, Cristina Kirchner. Now they will seek to look forward and speak to their constituents about the future. Kicillof admits that in the PASO there was an electorate that expressed anger and anger but he tries to put this behind him. “In the vote now we are risking the future, it is not a vote to express anger”he claims.
There are two weeks left until the elections and in the Buenos Aires territory there is no ballot. In this vote-by-vote fight, the ruling party does not rule out that the game will become even dirtier. They run with an advantage: the division of the opposition vote between Néstor Grindetti and Carolina Píparo can cause neither of them to be able to overcome the current one
governor.
