The RAE dictionary says that empathy is the “ability to identify with someone and share their feelings”. That was the concept that FI attend Manes He chose for the campaign that took him from the north to the south of the country, in search of becoming a candidate for 2023. But little empathy has been achieved by the radical from his allies.
Is that manes became the most defiant of the leaders of Together for Change, but not outside, but inside the coalition. Protected in his personal career outside of politics, the deputy is encouraged to internal criticism, and that rebellion is worth everyone’s rancor. From the PRO and the Civic Coalition, but also from radicalism.
to the space of macri He told him that he was at “one end” of the political arc, just like Kirchnerism. The “hawks” were quick to react. With the UCR he also has differences: that was exposed in Bariloche, when in an act he did not even grab the microphone. And to that are added the successive rounds that he disputes with Elisa Carrio. The neuroscientist has no peace.
Hostilities. “We are going to win and the PRO is going to have to accompany us”, Manes harangued the troops in Neuquén. The deputy wants to prevail over the yellow space that, at this point in the party, is the one that presents the most candidates for president at the starting line.
But in that quest to challenge them, it produces internal cracks every two times three. The last one, days ago, when in a radio interview he assured that “Kirchnerism and the PRO are at the extremes and cannot build a social majority.” Fernando Iglesias He described it as “unacceptable” and protested the radical’s attempt to add “a Peronist leg” to the coalition.
Provoking the PRO is not new for Manes. In August he did not sign the impeachment petition for Alberto Fernandezafter the President compared the prosecutor Diego Luciani with Alberto Nisman. He was the only one of the 116 opposition lawmakers who did not sign the request. In the UCR they tried to downplay the issue that blew up the PRO.
Manes had already made a rudeness to the block at the beginning of ordinary sessions of Congress, this year. All the JxC legislators got up from their desks when Alberto Fernández started to give his speech and he decided to stay. He gave rise to an iconic photo: the radical sitting alone. “They ask me why I stayed: we already tried not listening to each other and that’s how we are,” he excused himself.
Nobody has been as hard on Manes as Carrió. The leader of the Civic Coalition called him a “mythomaniac” and, although tensions later dropped, the relationship between them is zero. In any case, close to the neuroscientist they relativize the opinions of the co-founder of Cambiemos. “He is out of competition now. The dispute will be between the PRO and the UCR. She is not going to be a candidate, so although she is important for the space, she does not play here, ”they point out to the NEWS query.
Internal. From his tour of Bariloche, Manes brought a new controversy. The deputy announced that he would arrive with his Empathy tour to that city, but when he arrived he found the proposals of some leaders who would be in columns behind Gerardo Morales. Her work team had put together an act in a square that overlapped with the closing of the National Meeting of Radical Women, so they decided to cancel it and join the previously organized event: she listened carefully to the speakers and left without speaking .
Since the beginning of the year, Manes and Morales have represented the two names of radicalism ahead of the presidential elections. Although they can be shown together, the disagreements between the two will become commonplace in the final stretch.
By dint of tours, the neuroscientist is harvesting accessions. The latest, from the radical governor of Corrientes, Gustavo Valdesand Peronist leaders linked to John Schiaretti. Everything is useful when it comes to adding backups.
At this point, Manes has already encouraged everyone. And he is convinced that his work can lead him to put on the suit of opposition candidate, without the need to deepen the crack. In the small table of the radical deputy they defend him: “He does not seek to rival, he seeks to lead.” The difference is sometimes diffuse.
national tour
at every stop, manes tHe had at least two obligatory activities: going through the radical committee of the place and giving a talk in the main square. The first to meet with his co-religionists and the second to speak to the general public, often not politicized.
This week the first stage of Empathythe deputy’s tour that toured 70 cities with a colorful Fiat 500 caravan. It went from the north of the country to Patagonia.
Since October, a new part of his career begins towards 2023. “We are going to go a step forward in the content of the speech,” says one of the shipowners. And he completes: “Until now we wanted to expose that the crack can be jumped. Now Facundo is going to develop his economic and development plan.”
