Every time the friends of La Cámpora and some mayors still loyal tried “Sanseacabó”, how do you like to say Kirchner Junior? In reality, the issue is not so simple: if maximum today does not appear leading the list it is not because within Peronism they have banned it, but because, ultimately, they do not give it the numbers. The Peronist intern or Kicillof did not marginalize it, but the surveys.
His candidacy was a lost cause.
When Kicillof and Cristina spoke on the phone at the prelude to the closure of lists on Sunday 17, the former president did not even ask for her son. I was delivered. “Did you loved Taiana?” They say he asked the governor and let him do without more. The play could be read as a strategic withdrawal for an choice that seems difficult for homeland -to enter the list to Kicillof so as not to appear in the photo of a possible defeat -but the truth is that there is more impotence than of genius. The desertion of maximum in this electoral contest is to prevent the votes from confirming what the image polls already anticipate: that it is one of the most unpopular leaders in the country, even above their mother. Let’s see.
At the end of April, the CIGP consultant measured the image of 24 Argentine politicians, both official and opponents. Do not know who appeared in the last place? With only 7.2 percent of positive image, 19.6 regular and 69.5 negative, the son of the two former presidents appeared at the bottom of the table, descended. A little higher than he was two luminaires from the libertarian cast, “El Gordo Dan” – less known as Daniel Parisini- and Lilia Lemoine. But they could not with maximum, and that they make much more noise than the heir of the Kirchner.
Another of the statistics that aborted the idea of a maximum candidacy is that referring to his opaque performance as a national deputy. The numbers say that, throughout the entire 2024, Kirchner presented zero bills and pronounced zero speeches in the lower house. A thunderous silence, like when it took eight years! in giving his first speech as leader of La Cámpora. He had assumed the conduction of space in 2006, pushed by Mom, and newly faced a microphone in 2014. Does anyone imagine it in front of a crucial campaign?
There is a last fact that also discourages the candidacy of son K and is his accounting situation. In his affidavit, Máxima today recognizes a heritage of 8,311 million pesos, against only 249 million CFK, who inherited in virtually the totality of his assets to his children to preserve them from the scrutiny of justice. The point is that the investigators of the road cause, for which the former president is imprisoned today, consider that this inheritance was a “fraudulent maneuver” to hide his true fortune, and that is why several of those transferred goods also appear in the long list of what must be liquidated imminently to recover the money that judges claim to Cristina for their acts of corruption. Of course, imagine maximum candidate with that issue by exploding under your heels. Impossible to compete like this.
Kirchner Junior was not lowered by anyone on the list. He was never in a position to get on.
