Seen from outside, it would seem that Argentine voters belong to an academy. The last presidential campaign of the Fernández family was a series of launches of the book “Sinceramente” by Cristina Kirchner, sold or delivered to hundreds of thousands of citizens. Now, she gives master classes in which she mixes ideological postulates, picturesque phrases and anecdotes, a new discipline in academic circles.
Anyone who has studied economics or law will find misplaced concepts and contradictions in her last class, but it was a statement that she does not want to be a candidate because she has been prosecuted, convicted by the Justice and that they have tried to assassinate her. Her environment also says that she is banned. All these are pretexts to avoid a losing candidacy.
I dedicated my life to analyzing politics. I have never met a major politician who will give up the presidential bid if he believes he has any chance of winning. Whoever supposes that he can be elected, organizes an operation outcry, in which his relatives and friends participate, to beg him to sacrifice himself, against his will, assuming the presidency.
Cristina is not a candidate because she knows she will lose, but since she is a politician by vocation, she seeks to retain power in some way. A new version of the puppet has little chance of success because people tend to vote for leaders with personality and for the failure of Cristina’s triumvirate, Alberto and Massa. You will have to consider other options.
Cleverly polarized with Javier Miley. She dedicated her master class to challenging the liberal, to attacking him, to contrasting his political space, that of the poor, that of the workers, with the liberalism that, according to her, wants to end the rights of all.
In that polarization, many people who are afraid of change could support the Front of all Cristina’s big problem is that she doesn’t want to risk a defeat that seems inevitable and she can’t find anyone who can raise her flag.
