Sergio Massa He says they won’t let him. He insists on it. He swears that neither Malena Galmarini and her children allow another electoral adventure. And that is why there are no chances that this year will end like last year’s. Front of All candidate no matter how much everyone asks for it.
This idea began to circulate as soon as he took office. Ministry of Economy. It is a thesis that is already several months old but that some time ago began to creak. First he suffers from the weight of reality: Massa does. His wife Galmarini is the owner of Aysa, and carries politics, by inheritance, in the blood. She has already made public her wishes to compete for the Tigre quartermastera campaign for which he put first and began to criticize the current local president, Julio Zamora. Galmarini, in the middle of her own campaign, doesn’t let her husband run for the presidency? She, who wants to go through the Buenos Aires town? In fact, the wife herself began to send mixed messages. In an interview that she gave on Radio Perfil at the end of March, she assured that she “as a citizen” would “love” for her husband to become President, but that her eldest son, Thomas, I didn’t want to.
That was the first sign: it was no longer the whole family who did not see the adventure with good eyes, but their son.
Then another message came. On Wednesday the 19th, after the short circuit with Antonio Aracre and his subsequent resignation as chief adviser, Galmarini upped the ante. He retweeted from his account a text from a user that said: “Massa stays until the endbecause the end is when Massa leaves ”.
This is a logic that begins to transcend from the circle of the minister: it is the idea that the rest of the ruling party actors do not pull too much on the rope. Because it can be broken.
In any case, the minister’s formal response is still a refusal to apply. In addition to the reasons of a family nature, now a new story begins to emerge. “Do you think that, with all the tremendous quilombos I have, I have time to think about a campaign?” is a reflection that he usually shares with those who want to convince him to compete, more than anything to make himself interesting. He argues that the economy is now too red-hot to give him any leeway to work on his presidential bid.
But the truth is that, in his inner self, he does not stop thinking about that possibility.
