Alexander Fantino interviewed on his showStray animals” to deputy Roberto Mirabella from Santa Fe, and he ended up confessing what had long sounded like a rumor: his flirtation with a jump into politics. “I am going to start going more often, this has nothing to do with politics, but with walk the province. A lot of journalists called me asking if i’m going to be a candidate”, Fantino sincere.
“I tell everyone yes, that after me you are going to be a candidate,” Mirabella cut him mischievously: for now he is the candidate for Omar Perotti -who does not have re-election- to succeed him in Santa Fe. “Really, it is not in my head now, but I do want to walk the province,” Fantino replied. “I think it’s great, apart from you have the shirt on”, celebrated Mirabella, excited to have the support of the driver for his campaign, and to promote -later- his leap into the political arena.
It is not the first time that the driver of “Animales Sueltos” has been mentioned as a possible candidate in Santa Fe, either by the Frente de Todos or by Juntos por el Cambio. Local Peronism could lean towards an outsider in response to the discrediting of politics, and in opposition to Carolina Losadathe radical senator who made a great choice in 2021 and would be the candidate of JXC.
Fantino has already met at least once with the governor of the province, and some suggest that it is a plan that excites more Omar Perotti what a Mirabelle. or the Minister of Government, Celia Arena. And Fantino and Mirabella’s talk is not an isolated event. Just a day before, the driver had spoken in the same terms with Horacio Rodriguez Larretainvited to his program on Neura, his streaming channel.
“Look if one day I am Governor of Santa Fe and you are President. When I go to ask you for works for my province, what is it like? How are you going to treat me? If I throw you good vibes, are you going to hit me and if I throw you bad vibes, are you going to make me drink salt?” asked Fantino, mentally placing himself in front of gray housethe headquarters of the Santafecino executive.
“We have to rebuild a federal country in which you have the money to do the works you want to do, and you As governor, you decide with the people of Santa Fe which work comes first, and which comes second, and which comes third in Santa Fe. If not, the system that we have is unitary, that Kirchnerism did itto concentrate resources”, replied the Head of Government.
“What I am telling you is not an opinion, look at the data. The data on how much money the National Government manages compared to the provinces. And you will see that the greatest centralist in history is a president who came from Santa Cruz (Ndr: Nestor Kirchner). From Kirchnerism, resources were concentrated in the National Government,” added Rodríguez Larreta in presidential candidate mode.
“I guarantee you that when you are governor of Santa Fe you will not have to come to ask me for the works“, closed the Buenos Aires Head of Government with a nod to Fantino, with the intention of also seducing him from the PRO, a strategy that the opposition deploys in other provinces, to add candidates with a high level of knowledge.
