“Someone named me, I’m not going to say who because I’m going to respect the off,” said the journalist. Jorge Rial in his streaming cycle a week ago about his meeting with Cristina Kirchner at the San José residence 1111. In the story, the driver mentioned that the former president has a candidate for the next presidential elections in 2027. In fact, in the letter he released after the defeat of Homeland Force In the legislative elections, the leader confessed that she decided not to make the name of the elected person public.
As Rial himself explained in the “Revueltos” cycle on the Carnival streaming platform, the former president would have been bothered by the questioning that the host asked her about the dance she performed on the balcony, performed after the results of the Peronist defeat were announced, which is why she contacted him to smooth things over. After accepting the proposal, the hostess received the driver and they chatted for almost an hour.
In the story, Rial stated as the former vice president of Alberto Fernandez decided to delete from the public letter about the electoral setback a paragraph where the name of a possible presidential candidate appeared. “She, alive as she is, when she reread it said ‘I’m going to take it out because they’re going to say this is the one chosen and it’s going to be an internal mess and maybe it’s going to ruin someone’s chance,'” Rial highlighted. Under the watchful eye of his partner Viviana Canosa, At that time the journalist decided not to give more details.
Of course, speculation arose throughout the opposition. Rumors confirm that the chosen candidate is not a grassroots Peronist, but rather a regional ally with national projection. Within that identikit, the most mentioned is the governor of Santiago del Estero, Gerardo Zamora. The elected senator, of radical origin, will assume Congress in December, leaving the Santiago governorship, after serving four non-consecutive terms in the province. Distanced from the former president, the leader decided to approach the Kirchnerist ranks again.
Another profile that appears in the estimates is Sergio Uñac. The former governor of the province of San Juan, for two consecutive terms, has a style more in line with the sector led by the Kirchners. In 2023, the leader tried to run for a third term, but was disqualified by the Supreme Court of Justice. The election of San Juan would be a way to reconnect with the leadership of provincial-based Peronism.
Finally, on the payroll it appears Martin Llaryora. The governor of Cordoba, like a large part of the Peronism of that province, is very far from the Kirchnerist troops. However, the libertarian victory in the legislative elections hit hard in that area, placing the official coalition, led by Juan Schiaretti, in an unexpected and uncomfortable second place. From Christianism they believe that the conditions are in place for a reinsertion of Cordoban Peronism into the structure of the national PJ.
It is taken for granted, within Kirchnerism, that Axel Kicillof is off the table in this card game. The Buenos Aires governor and the former president are separated and are participants in a cold war to legitimize their leadership in the movement founded by Juan Domingo Perón. For the moment, the options on the table are there, but it is estimated that some other card may come out of the deck.
