Last Monday, Sergio Massa could not stop sweating for 32 minutes and 20 seconds straight. Although they speak daily, appear accomplices and compete in the same space, the Minister of Economy never knows how to anticipate where Cristina Kirchner will point in her speeches. After her presentation in society with the head of Kirchnerism, and while she was going to an event in Lomas de Zamora, she unlocked her cell phone and read comments from her troops: some considered that it was a positive act and a clear show of support. but others weren’t so sure about that. For many, it was the candidate for president himself who asked for their opinion and continued to ask for it throughout the day.
Sergio Massa also had to listen to Alberto Fernández, who on Monday made an effort not to respond to the vice president in public. Just as the head of the Senate told details of the negotiation for the unit list, the head of state wanted to go out and give her version. The President held back, but agreed with the vice-presidential candidate, Agustín Rossi, on a photo to be shown as part of the campaign. Fernández negotiated the formula and will show that this was the case, although many claimed that he was already out of everything. In addition to an image in which they are shown embracing before entering the cabinet meeting, a week after the lists closed, the only joint photo of the Unión por la Patria candidates is with the President in the middle.
The one who did not hold back was Máximo Kirchner. Yesterday he launched strong criticism against Alberto Fernández. He questioned him for the management, for fighting with the vice president and also for “packing up” when the Kirchnerists warned him that he had to change the course of the government. The unity list failed to unite the ruling party, but it did silence several of the claims that they had been having from the space led by the deputy. Voices are no longer heard, for example, for an urgent fixed sum because now the Minister of Economy is the candidate.
In addition to Máximo, on the Hurlingham stage were Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro and Juliana Di Tullio, the candidates for senators for the province of Buenos Aires. Also deputy Daniel Gollán, who was second on the list of deputies in 2021. On the other hand, Victoria Tolosa Paz was not there, who at that time led the list and now secondes Máximo K. As reported by PROFILE, the participation of the main candidates in local releases makes the absences can be justified.
Under this scenario of internal strongholds despite the unity list, Sergio Massa will dispute the centrality of the campaign. With a head of state who promised that he will do everything so that the opposition does not win, but he cannot contain him either. Also without knowing when the vice president will make a new appearance and for what. “Do you want Cristina to get involved in the campaign? That her companion give us a hand, that all of her companions need it? ”, Said Máximo Kirchner in Hurlingham at the launch of Damián Selci.
Thus, he advanced that CFK will have an active role in the campaign and will visit different districts of Buenos Aires in full electoral battle. “You have to add the largest number of votes,” they say around them. They don’t talk about winning, but about making the best possible choice. Not only the Presidency is at stake, but also the composition of Congress, above all, in the face of possible defeat. The head of the Senate is also forced to participate to preserve the province of Buenos Aires. They can’t lose everything.
The campaign of the Minister of Economy will be in charge of the consultant Antoni Gutiérrez-Rubí. It was this Catalan who at the end of 2018 made Sergio Massa begin to become an opposition leader to Mauricio Macri. He convinced him by showing him different quantitative and qualitative polls with which he explained that the number of dissatisfied with Cambiemos was increasing and that he should go for that electorate. “You have to represent the social majority that wants a change of government, you cannot be in two places and you have to be where the majority is,” Rubí told him. Since then, Massa has been ordained and has followed his advice to the letter.
The consultant accompanied him in the different campaigns, but also supports him in management. All movements as Minister of Economy are digitized by Rubí. “Massa grabbed the helm of a ship in the middle of a storm and not only did he not sink it, but now there is a port in sight and he is taking it there”, is the last sentence with which he motivated his team. He knows how to generate the story that this government did not know or want to build, above all, without positive results in the face of the two biggest management problems: inflation and income.
The order until July 19 is for the candidate for president to show 100 percent busy in the management. According to the Renewal Front’s own maxim, Massa should have resigned from his position. Weeks ago, deputy Cecilia Moreau targeted Daniel Scioli and Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro for being campaign officials.
Massa cannot leave the ministry now: he needs to show that inflation has started on a downward path. He cannot leave with the worst numbers of the last 30 years without them beginning to reverse. Therefore, the campaign will be the management. The objective is to reach the ballotage in November and gain time to show better results at the end of the year. However, yesterday it already began with a “proximity” campaign in the municipality of San Martín, where it was born, as the first station.
The candidate for president assures that Patricia Bullrich will win the Juntos por el Cambio internship and is also encouraged to promise that the election against this leader has been won. For that, he does everything possible to deflate Javier Milei by getting into his territorial army. If the leader of La Libertad Avanza loses votes, the JxC candidate can capitalize on them. “I’m the only one who can beat Daniel Scioli,” he promised in 2015. However, it was Mauricio Macri who did it. Now he changed Scioli for Bullrich.
For the same space, Juan Grabois seeks to contain a militancy that still does not accept the candidacy of Sergio Massa. The social leader will have to take care of taking care of his ballot, especially in the Buenos Aires territory. Some already say that he can get up to 7% with the long ticket he got. It is not good news for the Minister of Economy, although Grabois promised to accompany him in case of defeat.
