In his role as host, Luis D’Elia showed the place to Guillermo Moreno and other comrades who met in the El Tambo neighborhood, in Isidro Casanova, La Matanza district. “Today this is a prosperous neighborhood,” he assured them. In minutes, the candidacies of the social leader, the former Secretary of Commerce and the businessman Alberto Samid would be presented there.
To locate Moreno, D’Elía proudly explained: “Here 40 years ago the largest land grab in the Province began. And 22 years ago we started a roadblock that broke the back of the neoliberal model”. As references he used two crimes, but announced as achievements: “All that from here, comrades. It was the cover of all the newspapers ”, he completed.
Without the bombast exhibited by other spaces, from a small stage full of people, the trio gave their presentation speeches on June 19. It was a low cost act. There were no giant screens or merchandising. But neither did they take a photo together to upload to their networks. The only images that came out show only Moreno and D’Elía. Samid spoke and then withdrew to the side: “I was taking antibiotics. She got up to come with her companions, ”they explained.
In just over an hour, they made reference to Perón 40 times, so that no one would be confused. It is that they want to represent the movement and they assure that they are the only ones capable of doing so. “We have come to tell the world that the Peronist doctrine is peace, love and social justice,” said D’Elía, although in the CVs of the three there are acts of violence to expose.
uneven
Joint assembly began in January. After exchanging messages on the networks, Samid and D’Elía began to meet. Although in between there were other flirtations. It is that at the beginning of May Samid assured in a radio interview that “he would be a candidate for Milei”, but the libertarian denied him the possibility, citing the friendship he had with the journalist Mauro Viale, a public enemy of the meat businessman. “He is a disastrous being,” defined the pre-candidate for president. “I nefarious? He is a clown, I never asked him for anything”, the matter was closed by the man from Matanzas.
With no alternative, Samid ended up closing with D’Elía, although between the new allies there is no absolute concordance. “With ‘Gordo’ I have some differences. I do not agree with dividing La Matanza between rich and poor districts”, clarified the piquetero leader.
In fact, the division of La Matanza is, according to Samid, the first measure he would take if he were elected mayor. “I am going to separate it into four. It is impossible to manage a municipality with two million people,” he said in his presentation. The day before, he had done a poll on Twitter to see the level of acceptance of his proposal among his followers. It did not go well: two thousand people voted and the “do not divide” vote won by 11 points.
When Samid was still flirting with liberalism, Moreno and D’Elía were already closing the deal. They did not have too many places to go, after fiercely criticizing Alberto Fernández, but also Cristina Kirchner. For this reason, in mid-May they confirmed that they would share a list.
The file also condemns them. There are several clips where they star in strong crossovers on television, like the one that happened months ago on Crónica TV: “You are wrong. Are you saying that the problem is not the oligarchy?” Moreno yelled at him. “You are wrong. You say nonsense, ”the picketer replied while he stopped to point it out. “The idiot is you. Sit there and don’t stop, if we stop we’re going to be embarrassed”, the former official K stopped him. In the background the channel’s sound engineer added boxing bells. They were about to go to the pineapples.
From the Principios y Valores label, led by Moreno, D’Elía and Samid and which added Hugo Moyano at the last moment, they issue strong criticism of the official candidate. This is shown by the statements of the Former Secretary of Commerce: “Cristina’s project cannot be Massa, it is incredible,” he said.
In Principles and Values they believe that they have a differential: “It has been a long time since I found a space as Peronist as this one,” Samid harangued in his speech. And he completed ecstatic: “This mobilization reminded me of Perón’s arrival in the country.”
the gang
By force of energetic speeches and media fights, the three candidates became an attraction: rating powerhouses. Before any achievement, they transcend due to the acts of violence that they have carried out.
the video of Samid’s fight with Viale has more than two million views on YouTube and it is one of the most remembered television moments of the 2000s. During the government crisis with the countryside, in 2008D’Elía applied a cross to the jaw of a protester at the Obelisk, although that was not his most serious fact, not even close. In 2004 he had taken over a police station in La Boca, which earned him a sentence of more than a thousand days.
Moreno has his own collection of violent events. Paradoxes of politics, who revealed one of them was his current ally, Samid. In 2014, the businessman told NOTICIAS: “I saw his revolver. When he sat down to negotiate with the supermarkets, he would put it on top of the table”.
In fact, in 2017, the former Secretary of Commerce was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for “inciting violence.” The case began when the then official used cotillion in an act, which he had paid for with state resources, with the legend “Clarín lies”.
Away from the rest of Peronism, to Moreno, D’Elia and Samid They had nothing left but to come together for theirs. The heavyweights of the ruling party now have their own space.
