Sergio Massa: from resignation to tightening for control of the economy

“Definitely the Serge Massaresigning in the next few hours, would return it to centrality but would account for the dismemberment of the front of all. The thing about Scioli landing in the cabinet to use it as an electoral platform for 2023 dynamited his relationship with Alberto, ”the journalist Paulino Rodrigues wrote on Twitter yesterday past noon.

Massa’s resignation did not take place. But the rumors had some support. They explain that from Renewal Front they got tired of waiting for the “reorganization” of the economic cabinet that apparently, Alberto Fernandez had agreed with Sergio Massa on the trip they shared to Los Angeles for the Summit of the Americas.

A trip to which the president of the Chamber of Deputies was invited to calm the waters after the appointment of Daniel Scioli at the head of the Ministry of Production, after the resignation of Matías Kulfas, the president’s man targeted for a long time by Kirchnerism, and sentenced by the vice president Cristina Kirchner after going out to question her.

They say that Serge Massa he hoped he could put one of his own there. The “Basque” De Mendiguren, today at the head of BICE, a man from the UIA and former Minister of Production during the presidency of Eduardo Duhalde. One of the pieces of the economic team that the third shareholder of the Frente de Todos has long suggested to the president.

“A person like Daniel Scioli In terms of production, there is little to explain to him because he comes from a province that he governed for 8 years, which has 50% of the industrial GDP of Argentina, a very intense agricultural sector, he lived soaked in the productive problems“, De Mendiguren supported the former governor, and denied having been consulted for the position: “he was on a trip.”

The consolation prize was the designation last week of the massista William Michael in Customs (once pointed out as a possible replacement for Martín Guzmán in Economy, but today an eventual substitute for Mercedes Mark del Pont at AFIP). The man responsible for cutting the “import festival” that the vice president denounced in her act on Monday at the CTA.

“What is being talked about is a resignation of Serge Massa to the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, but that will be ruled by the National Congress on July 15 in Mar del Plata. I know that there was some negotiation during the trip to the Summit of the Americas that will be reinforced during the G7 trip, and based on that on the economic equipment”, recognized the economist Fabian Medina to Delta 90.3.

“On July 15 there will be a congress of the Renewal Front. And there is pressure from the bottom up for Sergio to leave the Front of All. They see Massa pressured among the cabinet inmates. Another alternative is not to leave the Front, but if leave the House. And become a weighty leader but with the freest wrist to travel the country. In general, there is anger because a political table has not yet been formed to debate economic problems and articulate the Front”, supported another leader close to Massa.

“I’m tired of Sergio being right and being ignored. We see that only the problems are announced, you have to create one Front of All conduction table to be able to discuss politics and stop sending messages through the media,” the massista told Clarín Jorge D`Onofrio, Minister of Transportation of Buenos Aires. A position supported by the national deputy Mónica Litza; the representative from Buenos Aires, Nicolás Russo; Ruben Eslaiman, Vice President of that Chamber; and the provincial senator José Luis Pallares.

“Sergio has to concentrate on think about the future of the Renovating Front more than caring for the unity of the Front of All. We have to recover the middle class calendar“, explains one of those massistas who demands an agenda of measures from the Deputies, such as the tax relief law that was approved before the trip to Los Angeles, and that would soon have approval in the Senate. “Sergio collaborates with tax aid but then inflation ends up eating them. And in the middle Alberto and Cristina to the shots. people have this tired of the fights of the politicians”, they point out near the presidency of the Lower House.

The idea of ​​a divorce between the Renovating Front and the Everyone’s Front is questioned by the Catalan consultant Antoni Gutierrez Rubi, Jaime Durán Barba by Sergio Massa, who has also arrived with the president and vice president. According to Gutiérrez Rubí, a 55% of Argentines want the ruling party to remain unitedwhich includes 52% of the soft opponents, and 80% of the voters of the ruling party in 2019.

In this sense, Massa does not want to be exposed in his political ambition (he is still very deeply hurt by the nickname of “little advantage” assigned by the former president Mauricio Macri). And he wants to prove that his most immediate desire is to get the economy back on track and take the fight to the middle-class electorate instead of boosting the fight between unions and social organizationsrespectively aligned with Cristina Kirchner and Alberto Fernández.

It is understood under that umbrella that the disruptive thread is a pressure for the president to open the game to him in that plan. “Is a wake up call in the face of a slip in terms of the times of the pledged word, there is no need to get nervous, these are things that happen in a government coalition and also happen in the opposition”, he acknowledged Fabian Medina in The Trigger (Delta 90.3). Massa believes that there are still chances to rescue the economy, lower inflation and contain the dollar as CFK claimed. And if he succeeds, he will have won the pole in the race for the presidency within the Frente de Todos.
