Towards the end of 2021 Serge Massa he began to define his position in the government by promoting the Income Bill from Congress, which put him at the center of the scene. He managed to get out of the frequent skirmishes within the governmentand mark their own position with nods to the middle class against the nods of the Albertists and Kirchnerists towards the popular sectors.
“Sergio Massa, the tightrope walker of power”, then titled NEWS. “Win positions in the Government and target the middle class. He is the only one who maintains a relationship with his old friend Larreta. The 8 meetings with CFK and his plan for 2023 ”, expanded the cover of this magazine.
With that move, the president of the Chamber of Deputies began to mark his differences with the Minister of Economy, Martin Guzman, who was proposed in the short term as an alternative. “Sergio Massa, The Joker”, was the title of the cover of NEWS in April, when the “clamor plan” to disembark as “super minister” in the cabinet of Alberto Fernández.
“Closer to Cristina Fernandez than ever, it became the only bridge between the president and the K. In the short term, he dreams of a superministry, but his greatest ambition is to get the presidential candidacy by 2023.” In the massist environment they speculated that it could lead an emergency plan if the catastrophic prophecies of the vice president were fulfilled. Massa showed off her waist inside the Front of everyone.
“Close to Massa they say they see him as more mature, slower, less in a hurry to reach the goal. An anecdote illustrates the idea: when the Tigrense accepted the proposal to join the Frente de Todos, it was stipulated in that agreement that a portfolio from the Buenos Aires cabinet would go to the Frente Renovador. However, when Axel Kicillof took office, he refused to distribute the team’s assembly to him, an idea that he only released after the defeat in the PASO and the direct intervention of CFK. Jorge D’Onofrio, a history of Tigrense, only took office on January 6, 2022, more than two years after the agreement, ”NOTICIAS told then about Massa’s renewed patience.
“At another time Sergio would have operated on Axel, he would have discussed it in public, he would have killed himself with him. At one time we had to take out his cell phone when he was careless to erase his contacts of journalists who leaked information. Now he is zen, focused on moving the country and the Government forward, ”they said in his environment.
When Massa’s strategist, the Catalan Antoní Gutiérrez Rubí, asked in his surveys about his client, the answers were forceful: 60% of those consulted said that they wanted the tigrense “to have more role in decision making of this government.” The president of the Chamber of Deputies waited patiently, avoiding appearing to be an opportunist. A stigma that drags since Mauricio Macri nicknamed him that way. “They call me ‘Ventajita’ because they are afraid of me”, is his defense against that accusation, as he told NOTICIAS some time ago.
Massa arrives at the executive showing off his waist. The one that NEWS already had in 2013 on the cover “The real Sergio Massa: Trans Christianity. How he changed from an obsequious Christianist to a lukewarm opponent”. “Massa has to sustain his own balance and the ability to tell people what he supposes they want to hear: they say he silenced, for example, his fanaticism for San Lorenzo and sympathy for Chacarita Juniors – he was born in San Martín and is a friend of Luis Barrionuevo – to become a fan of Club Atlético Tigre when he won the mayor’s office, ”said this publication, which reviewed his career.
“At 19, I was vice president of the youth of the Ucedé (Unión de Centro Democrático), at that time still led by Álvaro Alsogaray. At 27, he assumed as Buenos Aires deputy from the hand of Ramon ‘Palito’ Ortega, a celebrity inherited from Menemism. At 29, she landed at the ANSES sponsored by Eduardo Duhalde. At 36, he was Cristina Fernández’s chief of staff with the permission of Néstor Kirchner and an obsequiousness rarely seen. With just turned 41 years old, the mayor of Tigre now boasts of leading a new renovating current of Peronism capable of winning the elections against Kirchner-Christianity. Almost a decade has passed.
He was elected in Tigre with more than 73% of the votes, the highest percentage in the entire province. The overwhelmingly positive image of him was an ambiguous construction: some imagined him to be a secret cristinista, and others imagined him as the future president of the Nation, the only one who would be able to bury the K dynasty forever. “The Peronist franchise is always useful for adapt to each ideological or economic turn of national history, is his current safe-conduct to reach power”, prophesied NOTICIAS.
