After a month of silence, Maximo Kirchner appeared on the scene with partisan events and took the opportunity to respond to Axel Kicillof and send messages to his mother. His exact appearance was on September 13, 31 days after the PASO, at a meeting of the PJ Bonaerense Council in La Plata. When leaving there they asked him about Kicillof’s phrase about “composing new music and not one that we all know”, which Kirchner Jr. preferred to avoid with irony. “I’m not a musician, I’m a leader,” he said. Who provided more clarity about what they think about The Campora Regarding the words of the Buenos Aires governor, Quilmes mayor Mayra Mendoza, who in an interview with Infobae, accused Kicillof of having a personalist strategy and exemplified it with a song by Indio Solari whose lyrics say: “They play “first me.” and then to ‘me too.'” And then she added: “We have to build what is coming, but it is not leaving aside anything that made us get here. “You have to always be respectful, very carefully, of what is said.” Mendoza’s words can be interpreted as reflections of Máximo Kirchner himself, who always had a latent tension with Kicillof.
In the following days, Cristina’s son met with union members, visited The slaughter, where he visited the UOM headquarters and also Exaltation of the Cross, where the Secretary General of Fatica (Argentine Federation of Leather and Related Industry Workers). In this last act he made a somewhat striking move: he used a woman who was whispering in his ear that she wanted to see Cristina. “Do you want to listen to Cristina? ask the camera there,” Máximo told her and closed the scene by looking at the camera with the phrase “she’s going to have to talk, partner.” In the pre-PASO campaign, Máximo had made a similar comment at an event in Hurlingham.
Another thesis is that Máximo carried out that mini clamor operation to get ahead of the public reappearance of Cristina Kirchner, on Saturday the 23rd, at the presentation of the reissue of a book of conversations between Néstor Kirchner and Torcuato Di Tella called “After the collapse” that came out on the eve of the 2003 elections.
The act that It was made in the UMET, home of the unionist Víctor Santa María, was led by the influencer Pedro Rosemblat, Kirchnerism militant and almost candidate for head of the Buenos Aires Government, promoted by Máximo Kirchner. For Cristina Kirchner It was an ideal combo to resume the public conversation: a friendly environment, a book that emerged as an idea after the 2001 crisis and the leadership of a millennial to reach a young audience that only knows about 2001 from history books.
The original idea of that book was by Fernando “El Chino” Navarro, leader of the Evita Movement and current Government official. Navarro was not invited and therefore did not go to the event. What is striking is that CFK said that “in politics, grievances last only six months.” In Navarro’s case, the anger would be lasting a little longer.
Another who will not go to the event is Sergio Massa. In this case for campaign reasons. He had already planned to go to Santiago del Estero and Salta, so he already announced that he was missing. Massa is in an ambiguous relationship with La Cámpora. He separated them from the small table in the campaign bunker, but at the same time he is accompanying them at events in the districts where Cristina Kirchner has the greatest interest. On Saturday the 17th, an event took place in Hurlingham, where Sergio Massa announced a bonus of 15 thousand pesos for three months for retirees and pensioners. The event took place in a municipality that is claimed by Kirchnerism and was monopolized by leaders of La Cámpora who escorted the presidential candidate. With the excuse that it was an advertisement for retirees, the director of PAMI Luana Volnovich and her partner Martín Rodríguez, who is No. 2 of the same organization, were on stage. Joining them was Damián Selci, the La Cámpora candidate for mayor who defeated “Juanchi” Zabaleta in the PASO. Zabaleta was invited to the event but preferred not to attend. She had almost no support from the Government during the campaign, because the district became important for Cristina Kirchner when she saw that there was a chance of winning it. This forced Massa to have his people work for Selci, among them “Juanjo” Álvarez, former local mayor, who was in dialogue with CFK at all times.
For the vice president there are three key districts in this election, beyond the province of Buenos Aires: Hurlingham; Lanús, where Julián Álvarez, his former Secretary of Justice, is competing, and Quilmes, where Mayra Mendoza is re-elected. This election has a higher degree of importance, because it is an ongoing process. If Mayra wins, it will be a revalidation. On Thursday the 21st, Massa went to Quilmes to inaugurate a park on the riverbank, where she was with Mayor Mendoza. The inauguration of the public work has entered its final stage, the last day is September 26, when the AySA Riachuelo System mega-project will be inaugurated.
Sergio Massa will be there, with Alberto Fernández and it is expected that Cristina Kirchner will also be there, because the work began during her government. Will that act be lost? She will define it in the coming days, in which her presence in the campaign will increase. In the end, her son’s request will end up being fulfilled so that “the partner,” as he calls her, is more present. It remains to be seen if it is beneficial or counterproductive with respect to Massa’s presidential wishes.
