“The rest of the warrior” With you to infinity!”, wrote Malena Galmarina On twitter. The wife of Sergio Massa She accompanied the text with a photo of her husband sleeping, which reminded of Lionel Messi in the same circumstances after the World Cup victory. It is that on Friday at the last minute there was a surprise. After Wado de Pedro joined the candidacy and that Daniel Scioli presented in a theater, Unión por la Patria turned the table around. “We have a unit list. Our candidate for president will be Sergio Massa and he will accompany him as a candidate for vice president Augustine Rossi”, they wrote on the official Twitter account.
The reaction of the black palate did not wait. “Masa, seriously? Nooo”, wrote Ursula Vargués. And she completed, with hope: “Calm down. They tell me to calm down, that there is time left” Other leaders also spoke out. Luis D’Elía, candidate for governor, posted a video of The Campora in which they sang “Nothing happens if all the traitors go with Massa”. The images were used by many tweeters to show the paradoxes of politics: before separated, now on the same list.
The decision of Union for the Homeland leaves many space leaders in an uncomfortable place, who always had Massa as a rival more than an ally. One of them was John Grabois, who assured that he was not going to military the Minister of Economy and that is why he lowered his candidacy to support Wado. But after the bombing on Friday night, the social activist returned to the race: “Don’t be confused. I keep my word. Let’s go to STEP. I’m going to be a candidate. We have the constitutional right,” he posted on his networks.
The National President of Popular Unity, Claudio Lozano, also revealed his anger: “This is NOT the alliance we joined,” he said. And he added: Popular Unity is going to debate the decision to be made, but it does not accompany this change that violates all the convictions of the vast majority of those who accompanied the hope of Union for the Fatherland.” One of the allies could be lowered due to the reaction .
But for him Renovating Front it is a victory of epic proportions. From being marginalized to a senatorial candidacy, Massa managed to twist the decision to Cristina Kirchner, and in alliance with governors and Alberto Fernández, agreed on a formula very different from the one imagined by La Cámpora and Kirchnerism 24 hours before. outside. Perhaps a bluff, but played to the extreme, resulted in success, Or at least in the expected candidacy,
Now, with control of the economy, and enthroned in the pro-government front, Massa has plenty of resources to face a campaign against Javier Milei and his army (where several former Renovation Front play) and the candidates of Together for El Cambio.
