Serge Massa was, according to his relatives, a key ally for the front of all won the elections in 2019. But his place gained strength after the outbreak of the internal dispute between the president Alberto Fernandez and his vice, Cristina Kirchner, moment that the tigress knew how to exploit. And that today leads him to reap power within the Government.
What always stood out about Massa was his excellent relationship with the establishment, the opposition leaders (he is a friend of Horacio Rodriguez Larreta) and with Maximo Kirchner. The latter was one of the most important to maintain the unity of the Frente de Todos, especially when, in mid-September 2021, the wave of resignations of officials K unleashed one of the first great crises in the Government.
At that time, Massa, from the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, was the wild card that went from the chamber to the Pink Housetrying to placate the scandal that made it clear how, with the action of the K officials, CFK marked the field for the economic plan of the then Minister of Economy of Alberro, Martin Guzmanwho was renegotiating the debt with the International Monetary Fund.
At that time, Guzmán resisted the first onslaught K thanks to negotiations led mainly by Massa. But that peace lasted only a few months, until the vice president herself began to shoot Guzmán again. Action that grew in each public appearance, in the midst of months without dialogue between the President and the Vice. And the then Minister of Economy resigned.
Guzman resigns on Sunday, July 2, and announces it on twitter. Once again, the government is thrown into chaos. The blue dollar soars, Argentine bonds plummet and inflation soars. Massa saw at that moment an opportunity to climb a step. But Albertism put a stop to it and, in collusion with CFK, the Ministry of Economy passed into the hands of Silvina Batakis.
For many, this was a great defeat for Massa, who at that time had asked to take charge of the economic area but with a kind of superpower, something that Albertism denied him. But the tigrense did not give up and, 25 days later, his goal became a reality.
With a blue dollar without brakes, the lack of dollars in the Central Bank, the Government demanding that the farmers settle the grains and Batakis returning from meeting with the IMF, the rumors of changes in the government began to gain strength on Wednesday the 27th. Massa won the most staunch massists began to spread. But there was nothing official.
24 hours after the rumors began, Massa sat down to reap the very thing he had been denied less than a month ago. And in the next few hours, the Tigrense will be at the head of the Argentine economy, since the Ministries of Economy, Production and Agriculture are unified under his management. Thus, the “great scaler” is positioned as thesuper minister” of front of allwhose main objective is clearly above.
