For a person who feels so fascinated by his own story as Cristina (it is not necessary to add the last name), be sentenced to several years in prison – domiciliary with an electronic anklet or in a common prison – can be humiliating, but has its advantages. From a literary point of view, so to speak, what awaits him seems better than the immediate future that had not proposed as a deputy in the opaque Buenos Aires legislature. Although Cristina will be very ungrateful not to be able to leave her home or apartment since I wanted to, during quarantine millions of people without resources they had to endure much more severe restrictions.
When confirming the sentence that was issued by two lower courts, the Supreme Court has given the former president the opportunity to play a role that will be at his height, that of a martyr, the most recent victim of neoliberal antipopular evil and generations not yet born.
Thinking about it, for someone like her it is an acceptable way to crown a public career that has been really spectacular, one of the most notable in the history of the country. Bad that many weigh, having been president for two periods, vice president for one and for a long time the barely discussed boss of the Peronist movement is no small thing.
And the reasons why, finally, justice has come to him for having extracted a phenomenal amount of money from public coffers with the help of individuals such as Lázaro Báez and others from similar cane? Cristina wants to provide the impression of being sincerely convinced that she never violated any law. Is it? It is possible. Egolatry is an endemic evil in the political world of luck that he would not surprise that “the doctor” attributed her slips in this sense to her infinite love for the people or how difficult she has always been to face those who claim to be her friends. It will have been thanks to their goodness that the “Lawfare” cultivators managed to catch it. Or it may believe that it only raised for purely political reasons as all the leaders of the world do and that it is therefore absurd to accuse it of illicit enrichment.
In the weeks that preceded the judicial ruling, Cristina adapted the soap opera of what is the exclusive protagonist and that, disseminated with enthusiasm for herself and for many others, had come to dominate national politics until, thanks to the terribly negative impact that the resulting government would have in the life of a good part of the population of the country, the majority op Milei and his militants. Needless to say, Cristina prays so that the usurper will wait for a destiny similar to yours, even if, for the country to have to suffer an apocalyptic implosion that would have heinous consequences for almost all her own political clientele.
It goes without saying that the Kirchnerists and others who are taking advantage of an opportunity to mobilize are far from being the only ones who feel injured by the decision, long delayed, from the Supreme Court to prevent Cristina from continuing to be a full member, with all the corresponding privileges, of “the caste” although for a few months, perhaps years, he will not stop playing a significant role in the national political drama. They also have reasons to regret what the libertarians just happened.
It is that Milei and those around him loved to believe that Cristina represented the most probable alternative to the project that they launched, since it allowed them Be devastated by a hyperinflationary tsunami unleashed by the government of which the convicted person was the de facto boss.
In order for the movement that has formed around Milei, it will have to keep the informal electoral alliance intact that on November 19, 2023 he gave him the keys to the presidency. With Cristina and her faithful on stalking, the libertarians were relatively easy to discipline the macristas, many radicals and others who considered them by far the lesser evil, but without Cristina, time walking those offended by the rudeness of Milei and alarmed by the authoritarianism that is inherent will have less pretexts to support it.
While Kirchnerists are trying to attribute the sentence to their boss to the “Lawfare”, a modality that in the United States usually use leftists in an effort to trip politicians such as Trump or, in Europe, to stop parties considered right -wing as the alternative for Germany, there is so much evidence against it that they would be unlikely that they were very successful. By the way, claiming not only the economic model that is not viable that the Kirchnerists installed but also the corruption in an industrial scale to which they lent them will not help them reconcile with those who repudiated them in 2023 and that, until now at least, they do not seem willing to overlook their contribution to the prevailing mishland in large areas of the country.
Although the democratic world is going through an extremely confusing stage that parties of centenary traditions that had occupied power for decades are disintegrating themselves disconcerting or, to survive, they are adopting positions that until recently were alien to them, it is to anticipate that, as it has almost always been the case, everywhere politics, which by its nature tends to be binary, ends simplifying themselves again. As much as those who dream of the national unity, the absence of cracks is a symptom of decay, of social apathy.
Well, here it is forming a crack that separates the fans who celebrate the barbarities of their Locouaz leader, of moderate liberals, some with social democratic prone, who have tolerated them for fear of supplying weapons to the defenders of the old corporatist order. It would not surprise much that, after recovering from the clash that the shipwreck of together for the change before the 2023 elections, the “Republican” – “ñoñas” groups, according to the mileists – managed to incorporate their ranks to their ranks to disappointed Peronists who are fed up with having to live with Cristina and the militants of the Cámpora to create a broad movement to create a broad movement to create a broad movement to create a broad movement. without that being willing to tolerate the extravagant excesses of the most furious mileists.
As long as it remains in power, the ruling party always contributes to believe the party or coalition of the opposition that, in democratic societies, sooner or later will happen in the government. He understands or not Milei, when delivering pretexts to oppose those who are in favor of their economic strategy but have good reasons to repudiate their style of government, is hurrying the construction of a viable alternative to freedom progresses.
As much as the Mileists would like that everything remained as it was before, when they faced a kleptocratic “caste” headed by an accused lady, based on an extraordinary abundance of incontrovertible evidence, of having looted the country and turned into billionaires to the members of her environment, she has already changed since those days. The one that the former president has hoped to find her salvation in a poor district of the convulsed with Buenos Aires told us everything we needed to know about the degradation of the movement that for two decades had dominated the political scene of the country. Liberated from Cristina’s iron, Peronists and other permanent “caste” members will have to adapt to the prevailing circumstances or look for another source of income.
It would seem that in this, the first phase of its management, aggressiveness, sectarianism, Guaranguería and the physical pleasure that Milei produces to cover insults to those who deviate a single millimeter of the new official doctrine, have helped him impress the population enough to ensure a satisfactory result in the elections that are approaching. The libertarians may have been successful in terms of electoral perspectives, but they should not ignore that a strategy that is based on the constant creation of enemies is necessarily short -term. Although some who have acted as allies, including Mauricio Macri, prefer to minimize the anger they surely feel because they understand that it is the interest of all that the government continues to remodel the macroeconomics, they are already less and less those willing to put the other cheek when they are under attack. Good that bad, the reluctant to do so will soon remind Milei that the forms do matter.
