Sergio Schoklender declared this week in the oral trial of the case Shared Dreams and left a bomb: according to his testimony, the former minister Anibal Fernandez would have financed, through the University of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayoa scheme of fabricated judicial complaints against the PRO. The person in charge would have been the lawyer from Córdoba Eduardo Barcesatwho convinced Hebe de Bonafini to set up a research center with a single purpose: “make new complaints against some PRO official,” he said.
Mauricio Macri He didn’t waste the moment. The same day that the testimony was known, the former president summoned provincial leaders of the party to revive the Federal Forum of Provincial Legislators and spoke to the press. “They were very hard in the City and later in the Nation. Eight years of a demolition army working to prevent change from advancing“, he stated, in a direct reading of the Schoklender case as confirmation of what the PRO always denounced: a lawfare strategy in reverse, armed from the Kirchnerist power.
Asked if Milei’s government faces similar opposition, he was optimistic: “They are much weaker, they are disarmed. Justice acted and that means they are not articulated. It is not the same Kirchnerism of 2015 and 2019.” About Patricia Bullrichwas concise: “She is in La Libertad Avanza.”
The meeting at the PRO headquarters at Balcarce 412 had as a backdrop the electoral projection for 2027. Macri has just met with the governors in the last 37 days Zdero, Valdes, Cornel and Llaryora —the latter a Peronist, and without a public photo—, and in his circle they admit that “he can talk to everyone except Kirchnerism, which is the enemy.” The objective of the party: to have its own candidates in the 150 largest cities of the country and cover more than 70% of the national electorate. The definitions on whether Macri will lead the ballot will arrive, they say, after the World.
