Like a butterfly effect, short circuits between Alberto Fernandez and Cristina Kirchner they sneak into the justicialist parties of each province. The shock wave of the fight of the main national referents of the front of all It complicates the management of the Peronist governors who are juggling to retain power in their territories. And that they see their political rivals cheering them on, emboldened by the general chaos.
The Buenos Aires mayors continue their crusade against The Campora, in Santa Fe Agustín Rossi wants to dispute power with Omar Perotti and in Tucumán the peace between Juan Manzur and Osvaldo Jaldo hangs in the balance. Meanwhile, most governors are evaluating under what conditions they will enter the electoral ring in 2023: tired of asking for a national consensus that never comes, the idea of splitting the elections is beginning to gain strength in most districts.
In the mud. Although they are shown together inaugurating works in Tucumán, the relationship between John Manzurthe governor on leave, and Osvaldo Jaldo, his deputy and current president in charge of the province, is always abuzz.
Both leaders have already set their sights on 2023: from the Cabinet Office, Manzur is aware of what is happening in his province. Although he cannot be re-elected, he wants someone from his kidney to be the Peronist candidate. Jaldo, for his part, wants to access the place that he believes he deserves for many years. It is that José Alperovich first and Manzur later were relegating him. If a Nation order does not go down, the fight can be fierce in one of the few provinces that in 2021 gave national Peronism a joy.
The intern will also take place in Santa Fe: Agustin Rossi Governor Perotti has already been planted and will do so again in 2023. Curiosities of politics, “El Chivo”, always close to Christianity, left after disobeying the order not to participate in the 2021 elections and today he builds power approaching Alberto Fernández.
With no re-election possible, Perotti relaunched his space We Make Santa Fe to make room for his possible candidate, national deputy Roberto Mirabella. But Rossi is not far behind: to dispute in 2023 he already projects the provincial deputy Leandro Busatto, the son-in-law of Enrique “Pepe” Albistur.
The attempts of the president of the provincial PJ Ricardo Olivera to preserve internal peace were completely unsuccessful: he had to cancel the last meeting he planned because the leaders did not want to meet. “If we do not bet on unity, we did not learn anything,” lamented the head of Santa Fe Peronism. Meanwhile, Together for Change is rubbing its hands.
In Buenos Aires the differences between Alberto and Cristina also generate waves. While Máximo makes a foothold in the province, the mayors are reluctant to hand over power to La Cámpora.
As a standard-bearer of that crusade is Ferdinand Gray. The mayor of Esteban Etcheverría saw his desire to lead the provincial PJ cut short due to the irruption of the vice president’s son and he does not forgive him: “The Campora it is oversized,” he assured days ago. And she cheated on them: “I don’t share what they do or what they say. It is an immature organization. It seems that they have the Peter Pan syndrome, they think they are always young.
Máximo turns a deaf ear and continues to strengthen his image in the Province. After local elections where he came out stronger, he called on the losers to contain them within the party. The mayors believe that, if the President does not set limits, La Cámpora will go for everything.
Elections. In only one thing there is consensus between the mayors of Buenos Aires and La Cámpora. The same consensus that is beginning to be created at the national level: to have real electoral chances, it will be necessary to unfold the district elections.
In response to the crisis that the Government is going through, the Peronist governors are analyzing risking their destiny before the national PASO. In addition to Buenos Aires, in San Juan, Salta, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Chubut, Catamarca and La Rioja the issue has already been put on the political table.
The objective is twofold: on the one hand, the fear of being swept away by a national defeat of the Frente de Todos, and on the other, the possibility that the candidates have a double chance. It is that if things go wrong in their districts, they could risk it on a list to the National Congress.
Of all the hypotheses that are being considered, the idea that the national front be strengthened is the one that has the least force. From Kirchnerism they are in charge of warning, over and over again, that they will not stop putting pressure. This is what Oscar Parrilli said on Twitter: “Elections are not won with the unity of the leaders, but by governing to improve the quality of life of the people.” Meanwhile, the PJ threatens to crumble in many districts.
