Alberto and Horacio: the loneliness of those who return to the plain

They knew how to mobilize many people, speak in front of thousands of citizens, projecting a new government, and outline national and international policies. alone with the power that their position offered them, however everything comes to an end and in many cases, the post-power vacuum is usually overwhelming.

There are few cameras chasing them or supporters haranguing them. They return to the plain and that photograph is usually seen at the moment they vote, with less deployment of assistants and guards around them who knew how to shield them in full swing.

This Sunday, Alberto Fernández and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta They began that return to earthly things when both voted in the morning without much fanfare, but still in full exercise of their position, one as President of the Nation and the other as head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires.

Alberto Fernandez voted today at 9:40 at the headquarters of the UCA in Puerto Maderowithout the company of his future ex-wife Fabiola Yanez, as happened in the PASO. And although he hid behind the electoral ban to not make statements, he acknowledged receipt when he answered what he was going to do after December 10, the day he leaves office: “I will continue as a citizen“I am a citizen.” And when asked if politics was already history in his life, he irritably replied: “That doesn’t matter.”

Horacio Rodríguez Larreta

Another who broke his cabals and He didn’t make that famous breakfast at Café Tortoni Before a day full of expectations, it was Horacio Rodríguez Larreta who voted later than announced, around 11. He also did not walk in the previous days through the Cabildo and Juramento area. The fact is that for the current head of government, today is pure formalism, while he wonders what will become of politics in case the candidate leaves his space, Patricia Bullrich, failed to achieve the presidency. If she does, she promised him that he will be chief of staff.
