These are not easy days for Alberto Fernández. Everywhere he looks, challenges appear: he has just been charged with an accusation that involves his historical secretary and a suspicious hiring at Anses, and he is also looking for his work and political future while the bulk of the Justicialist Party puts pressure on him to force him to resign from the party. in front of it. It seems that it is not easy to be former president of Argentina.
Miles. The journey, after leaving the Quinta de Olivos, had created a complex situation for its former tenant. During the holidays, a video was leaked showing him dining at a luxury restaurant in Spain. Fernández later explained that it had been an invitation, but the controversy still arose. Furthermore, as the days passed he got up again. A tourist recorded him filling a Mercedes Benz truck with gasoline that costs more than 100 thousand dollars, and the networks did not forgive.
Fernández had settled in that European country. He had received a wink from the PSOE, the party led by his friend, President Pedro Sánchez, who even lent him an office in which the Argentine settled and which he used to work. Every so often an Argentinian would visit him, and the man would take the opportunity to tell his vision of Milei’s triumph and the decline of the government he commanded: he maintains that the origin of all evil is his fight with Cristina Kirchner, whom he blames as responsible for the conflict. .
Now he has returned to the country, although it will be just a stopover. She will go first to Mexico, on Monday the 4th, and then to Bolivia. In both countries she will give conferences, one on the use of fake news in politics and another of a more economic nature. The man also plans to hold some meetings with political figures in the region to put his name back on the board.
Fernández’s future – at least in the workplace – will be on the side of international relations. In fact, he continues to be the representative in Argentina of the Puebla Group, the organization that brings together politicians and former leaders from Latin America and which is expanding this year.
On the other hand, in local politics it is more complicated. His departure from the PJ, at least as president, is a fact for the majority of the Peronist tribes, while he still does not speak a word to CFK or his son. His contact circle remains the same as when he was president: Vilma Ibarra, Gabriela Cerruti, and Victoria Tolosa Paz.
In parallel, Alberto Fernández’s judicial front could become more complicated: he was denounced for alleged embezzlement of public funds from Anses, which would seem to become an immediate agenda item. Fernández denies having anything to do with it and points to his historic secretary. These are difficult days for the former president.
