This afternoon, west of the suburbs, The different sectors of Peronism in the province of Buenos Aires are facing each other with the aim of ordering the election of the new party leadershipNot an easy task, according to the participants.
The conclave was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. in the municipality of Malvinas Argentinas and there, in addition to paying tribute to the recently deceased Juan José Mussi, The members of the council must agree on ways, dates and goals that make it possible to overcome virtual acephaly while driving. Everything is delayed.
The presidency led by Maximo Kirchnerand all the charges are expiring these days and the formalization of a plan for the renewal of authorities is a necessary prerequisite so that the judiciary is not tempted to intervene in the party, as has happened on other occasions.
The representatives of Christianity, Kicilofism and the independents must take action for this Minimum agreements or at most a uniform list that regulates the debate.
But the leadership discussion is just one of several taking place in parallel, with seemingly different scenarios, such as the provincial legislature or the provincial cabinet.
In the last few hours the meetings have multiplied, especially between those who answer to the governor and those who answer to the former president.
For example, an argument took place between Julio Alak, Gabriel Katopodis and Federico Otermin to bring their positions closer together, but without much success.
There was also another one about Kicillofism. The striking fact was the presence of Juanchi Zabaleta, former mayor of Hurlingham and arch-enemy of La Cámpora. The formal statement is that the former municipal leader is on the council, but it is also true that he was involved in the formation of an opposition list to that of Fuerza Patria in the October elections.
From then on, the volume of versions increased. Although the governor’s staff from La Plata are calling for “the end of the intern,” unofficial spokespeople speak of a nomination by the deputy governor Verónica Magario or by Kicillof himself as successor to Máximo Kirchner.
In fact, the negotiations between the sectors include issues such as the election of the president of the Peronist bloc in the Senate of Buenos Aires and the appointment of the vice-presidents of these chambers, which Kirchnerism seeks for itself and which Magario promotes.
