The former Secretary of Internal Trade, Guillermo Morenolaunched explosive definitions in full electoral reinforcement of Peronism. Denounced the “hegemony of personal projects”questioned Kicillof’s driving and rescued Donald Trump’s policies. In addition, he warned that Lula “does not understand the world” and questioned his political future.
At a key moment of the electoral calendar, when Peronism discusses names, fronts and candidacies for September and October, Guillermo Moreno kicked again with a series of statements that expose the internal tensions of the space and the leadership crisis after the debacle that the government of Alberto Fernández meant. “Personal projects in Peronism have to end,” he launched, in clear allusion to the figures that today dominate the scene, with Máximo Kirchner and Axel Kicillof in the center of the controversy.
The former Secretary of Internal Trade, which confirmed his participation in Homelandspace that seeks nuclear to the progressive Peronism but also to the orthodox, said that the party must leave personalism and return to the doctrine: “We are discussing how to have an extraordinary,” he said, avoiding specifying whether he will be a candidate but making it clear that his bet is political and ideological. “We signed for the two fronts, for September and October,” he said.
Wink to Massa
Moreno did not save in recent months criticism of Axel Kicillof, whom he considers a leader without Peronist doctrinal root. “The social democratic doctrine, such as globalization, failed,” he said. Although he avoided naming him directly. He also argued that the current president, Javier Milei, “is not suitable for governing, nor was Alberto Fernández.” And he was more benevolent with Sergio Massa: “The last year he put the spine, he did what he could,” he scored in Delta 90.3.
Moreno’s position places him in an uncomfortable place within the current Peronist ecosystem: not so distant from Massa or Máximo Kirchner – “I don’t think we are so far,” he said, “but deeply critical of the direction of the last efforts of the front of all. In its logic, the problem was doctrinal: the abandonment of the productive economy by global “financing”.
Trump praise
The most provocative of Moreno’s position is his explicit claim of Donald Trump’s economic policies. “Or now Trump is not doing what we did?” He asked with irony in dialogue with the trigger (Delta 90.3). For Moreno, the economic nationalism of the former US president – with his protectionist measures, defense of domestic employment and criticisms of China – looks more like classical Peronism than to the globalization that other sectors of Latin American progressism hugged.
“The decade won was in a much worse context. We have, now, a lost decade,” he lamented, raising a comparison that seeks to reinstall that stage as a paradigm. Within that framework, he questioned Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, whom he accused of not understanding the new global order: “If Lula does not change his attitude, will he continue to be president of Brazil? He does not understand the world,” He warned. For Moreno, the geopolitical map is in full transformation and a window of opportunity is opened to dispute sovereignty: “This world that is being built will last 30 years, at least. In those 30 years, you have to recover the Falklands, the presence in the Atlantic, discuss Patagonia.”
Without a compass Peronism
In the midst of lista assembly and wear of the main figures of Peronism, Moreno’s voice – a marginal in terms of structure – reappears with symbolic force. The former official represents the sector that claims a return to the sources, with emphasis on work, industry and sovereignty. His message not only points to current leadership, but also to the way in which Peronism is organizing: “When they denigrate politics, they are denigrating hope.”
In a political ecosystem marked by antipolytic, the warning resonates as a call to recover the historical sense of movement. The dispute, however, is not only for candidacies, but by political sense. While the Buenos Aires governor seeks to reposition himself as a national leader, Moreno insists on returning to the traditional Peronist doctrine and, with her, to a more collective type of leadership.
