The last great trial of radical unity happened a month ago, in Santa Fe, when the National Table held the first meeting of the year. The minimum objective was achieved, the photo of the main leaders together. The maximum, not yet: the bloc of Deputies of the centenary party is still cracked. Communication is fluid and the talks accumulate, but mistrust endures.
The traditional ones point to Martin Lousteau as the man who has brought radicalism to a Maximum tension. From the space of the senator, Evolution, they return the signal to “the usual ones” for “not letting the younger leaders grow”. j While radicalism adds muscle to win the Arm wrestling of Together to the PRO and place a candidate for president with chances, makes efforts so that the internal crack does not split them.
FIRE FRIEND
The figure of Lousteau generates constant misgivings. The economist is going to put up a fight within radicalism, at least that was revealed at the last Buenos Aires meeting of his group.
In the act of La Plata, he pointed directly to the current leadership, commanded by Gerard Morales. “The match is not so good. If you are not encouraged to be a government in the province to transform the lives of the people of Buenos Aires, you better start thinking about dedicating yourself to something else, ”she crossed it. Downstage she listened carefully Martin Tetaz, the brand new deputy who could be his bishop in Buenos Aires. The traditional disbelieve in this situation: they even accuse the senator of working for Horacio Rodriguez Larretaagainst the radical interests themselves.
But Lousteau He was not satisfied with the first criticism and continued: “Recently there was a meeting in Santa Fe of legislators and a national leader said that the situation was very complicated in Argentina and the worst thing was that it could happen to us. imagine if Alfonsín would have said that”. The economist does not walk with half measures.
In fact, prior to the meeting scheduled for March 12 to show the strength of his bloc, the economist assured that in Evolución “there is gender parity”, within the radicalism that is “the most misogynistic party in Argentina”. Each of the criticisms are bombs that stun the national leadership.
Lousteau poses a constant challenge to radicalism. And with his rebellion he generated an unprecedented event in the centenary party: that the “black monk” showed his face. Enrique “Coti” Nosiglia gave a report after more than 30 years of silence.
The eternal radical operator was in the program of Carlos Pagni’s TV, where he criticized Macri, Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner. But his reappearance had more to do with the message he had to give to Lousteau and Daniel Angelici, his disciples who already negotiate spaces on their own. They would seem to have emancipated.
Nosiglia’s patience It would have been broken in December, when Lousteau and his side, Emiliano Yacobitti, agreed with Morales in the Angelici offices to set up the National Committee. Without consulting it. He, who still considered himself his political godfather, was just a stepping stone.
CAUTION
Meanwhile, the historical leaders are in charge of calming the waters. Morales from the space presidency and Negri from the bloc of Deputies, they are in constant negotiation with their allies from Together for Change while they try to accommodate themselves in the face of the presidential elections.
In the province of Buenos Aires, the candidacy of Facundo Manes seems like a fact. The internal legislative dispute between the neuroscientist and Diego Santilli would be on its way to being reissued in 2023. “Before Cambiemos was one color, but in the last election society gave it another semblance,” warned the deputy.
Internal tensions caused another comeback. Ernesto Sanz, co-founder of Let’s change with Macri and Elisa Carrió, returned to show himself publicly to bring peace to the centenary party. With his conciliatory tone, the man from Mendoza reappeared at the small table of the space so that the internal fights do not divert the focus from what is important: reaching the presidential elections with chances.
“We have an opportunity to govern again. We cannot waste it arguing among ourselves”, Sanz protested before a handful of militants. His task will be to achieve the unity of radicalism. He has a lot of work ahead of him.
Players:
MARTIN LOUSTEAU The senator wants to fight internally. He crossed to the current leadership: “If you don’t dare to be a government, dedicate yourself to something else.”
MARTIN TETAZ It is the last stellar appearance. With a good relationship with Macri, it could be Lousteau’s sword to compete in Buenos Aires.
RODRIGO OF LOREDO President of the Evolución bloc, he is in charge of working on a reunification of radicalism with his Cordovan counterpart, Mario Negri.
FACUNDO MANES The neuroscientist could reissue the internal fight with Santilli in Buenos Aires in 2023. He points to the PRO in his statements.
GERARDO MORALES The president of the UCR will have to achieve internal reunification, but he had strong clashes with Lousteau.
MARIO BLACK From Evolución they criticize him for not giving space to “renewal”. The deputy believes that he can be useful in the assembly of Together.
