Hours are missing for Peronism to decide whether, on the deadline of Sunday 17, Máximo Kirchner will participate or not in the lists of its space for the October elections. The former president’s son, deputy, head of the Buenos Aires PJ and leader of La Cámpora – in that order of importance – elaborated a shy “clamor operation” so that her name appeared in the line of start of the potential candidates. Where appropriate, to renew your bank in the lower house. But the truth is that the “clamorcito” operation did not turn too much on public opinion. Even if he decides to compete, Máxima knows that he will make him back to the surveys, in which he appears as one of the most unfriendly characters in Argentine politics.
The background question is: Does it give Máxima to be the heir of his mother Presa? Can you create a new mystique, a generational recast of Kirchnerism that for long years have not managed to strengthen neither the other young people from La Cámpora? Do you have leader pasta, like your parents?
For his destractors -within and out of Peronism -, the son of the boss is closer to the meme than to represent a new leadership. If there is something that are criticizing Kirchner Junior, it is his overwhelming lack of charisma. Moreover, there are those who speak of scenic panic and list the evidence of that picture.
Here are some.
-
Máximo almost does not speak in the Chamber of Deputies and his leadership in La Cámpora, according to critics such as Andrés “El Cuervo” Larroque, is via WhatsApp. “Minimum” is what their collaborators in that group called it at other times.
-
The interviews that give are very very very, and always in safe environments and with friends journalists. He also began offering, although, according to those who had the opportunity to attend some, they are not very interesting.
-
Since he started directing La Cámpora, back in 2006, it took eight years! in giving his first speech as head of that group. He was just known his voice in 2014.
-
An university career never finished, nor that of Law (it was less than a year at the National University of La Plata) or that of journalism (in ASD and then in the Univerdidad de Belgrano, where it also also lasted months). Why didn’t you get to do as a student? Simple: because it did not appear to the exams. Scenic panic, of course.
The same extreme shyness played a bad pass in his brief experience as a chronicler of changing rooms and field of his beloved Racing Club campaign, a work that his father got him when he put to the radio of the Santacruceña governorate to follow the team where he played. Then, the young K gave up the changing rooms and only covered what happened in the field, with phrases as revealing as “there are movements in the visiting bank.” I did not happen.
The memorio remember when, at that time, the young chronicler covered a training of the eternal rival, independent, to approach who was one of his idols, DT César Luis Menotti. He asked for a note and Menotti agreed.
But when the engraver turned on, his legs began to tremble.
An endless silence was made until Menotti hurried:
“Do we open, kid?”
And given the lack of response, he pushed himself:
“I better leave it for again.”
When someone asked him for the scene, the DT remembered:
“Yes, he stayed silent. Then I saw it again, but we are not talking about the subject.
Maximum today is no longer that chronicler. Although it is still very far, too much, to put on the heir suit.
