2023-05-12 03:31:32

Kirchnerism is preparing a massive act for May 25 in which they will ask, once again, for the candidacy of the vice president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. On this occasion, it would be on Avenida 9 de Julio and the date was chosen because that day will be the 20th anniversary of the Nestor Kirchner assumed the presidency and 50 of the assumption of Hector Campora, after 18 years of proscription of Peronism. The organization of the event gained momentum after the last political move of the Supreme Court. Many read that the decision of the highest court to suspend the elections for governor in Tucumán and San Juan, was a intimidation message to the vice president, before a possible candidacy. “Let’s go on the 25th, Cristina President“, is one of the slogans that are being considered for the day, but that will be finalized in a meeting that all the Kirchnerist groups will have next Wednesday at the porteña union headquarters SMATA. After that meeting, the call will be made official at a press conference. It is not yet known if the vice president will participate, but the organizers are working on the hypothesis that she will not be.

In line with the latest events organized by Kirchnerism, the message on May 25 will contain a Strong repudiation of the actions of the Judiciary. On previous occasions, such as the event that took place in mid-April in front of the Courts, the slogan was: “Democracy or judicial mafia.” This time, it will be focused on the candidacy of the vice president, although everything has to do with everything because, as she herself said on several occasions, she cannot be a candidate, not because of her own will, but because she is a victim of the proscription of the Power of attorney. The big unknown now is whether she will attend CFK. In Kirchnerism they risk that: “you never know“, and that perhaps at the last moment she decides to go. “If she goes, it may be to make an important announcement about the candidacies,” say some sectors that identify with her, although there is no certainty.

The mayor of Ensenada, Mario Drysaid this Thursday that “May 25 is a key day and, if Cristina decides, that day we break the ban. It is a very good scenario for the compañera to have a clear message”. The Buenos Aires minister, Andres Larroquealong these lines, stressed that “there are a present that moves us. All these types of attacks that we see permanently to the institutionality, to democracy, which cost us so much to recover and consolidate in Argentina and from now on as the central axis the figure of Cristina who is the one who today arouses hope. Edward of PeterMinister of the Interior, also stressed the need to “defend democracy in the streets”.

Beyond that, Kirchnerism is not the only sector that believes that the battle against the irregularities of the Supreme Court must take place in the streets. At Casa Rosada they consider the same. Close to the President they argue that they are “tied hand and foot” to advance in some type of reform of the Judiciary due to the collusion that they have with the opposition, and that will depend on the votes that are obtained in Congress to advance in the impeachment that is being debated in Deputies. In the offices of Balcace 50 dream of a mobilization like the 2×1 against the ruling of the Supreme Court that sought to release the genocides of the last military dictatorship, although they admit that “the judicial” is a complex issue and far from the most urgent concerns of society, linked to economic problems, the inflation and loss of purchasing power of wages.

The presidential spokesperson Gabriella Cerrutisaid this Thursday that “this government and those of us who are part of this political force have been part of the mobilization that has recovered democracy, for which we will never discourage it. The true power that a government has is that the people are alert and behind their objectives, accompanying them and showing what they want“. Hours later, the chief of staff, Agustín Rossi, spoke in the Senate on May 25. “This May 25 for us is going to be unique, because twenty years ago Néstor Kirchner assumed the presidency. He told us that he was part of a decimated generation and that he had come to propose a dream to us. He led the way and we all followed behind. I look at myself sitting here in front of you at 63 years old and I think that Néstor died at 60 and I say: how much did he have to give us Peronists and all Argentines,” he stressed.

The meeting at SMATA

In addition to the Kirchner organizations that were present at the last meetings of the Ensenada roundtable, this time the call will be broader. “We invite all those who want to join the meeting on Wednesday in Smata,” said one of the organizers and clarified that “those who love her and those who need her for convenience, because she is the candidate who best measures within of Peronism”. Along these lines, they commented that “work is being done to call for mobilization from all the sectors that are around the ‘Cristina President’ call: unions, social movements, mayors and human rights organizationsamong others”, they explained and added that “they are working at full speed to guarantee May 25 with many people on the streets”.

The PJ congresses and the lack of definition

The organizational meeting of the event at the SMATA headquarters will be one day after the congress of the national PJ that will be held in the Ferro stadium and after the congress of the Buenos Aires PJ, which will be on Saturday the 13th in the game of La Matanza. Surely, among the issues discussed at both meetings, there will be congressmen who raise the issue of the act and the need to continue with more intensity with the operative outcry. According to what some of them commented in dialogue with this newspaper, “there is a very strong demand on the part of all the organizations to express themselves in the street and that was exacerbated with the latest ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice.” They confirmed that the issue of the Supreme Court is going to be part of the mobilization, and that the idea “is to give it an intense militant vibe to support CFK’s candidacy, but at the same time point out those who are part of it and make it possible for the ban of it remain in force”.

At this time the disorder of Peronism is very large and from all sectors they expect a definition from the vice president who will accommodate the board and order how to continue. It is not known if that definition could be before or after the party Congress or before or after the act of May 25. The truth is that times are running and The longer the days go by, the more difficult it will be to install any candidate who does not have the knowledge and relevance that she has. The only clue that there is so far as to whether or not there will be inmates, or whether or not she will be the candidate, is what the vice president herself said on stage in La Plata, during the inauguration of the Néstor Kirchner Justicialista School a few days ago: whoever it is, this time the candidate must respect a government programrepresent it and fulfill it.
