As a moral and socio-political guide for Argentine citizens, Cristina Fernandez is still a win-win for the left. Author: Page 12

Today will be a special day for Argentina, and not just for the 20th anniversary of Nestor Kirchner coming to power. The expected mass concentration will listen to the popular leader and vice president Cristina Fernandez in the anthological Plaza de Mayo and try to order her to become the candidate of the government Todos Front (FdT) in the elections scheduled for October.

The action was triggered by the forces that follow him within Peronism, such as La Campora and various social movements, and it takes place at a transcendent moment for Peronism and in general for progressive forces in Argentina, when Cristina, the favorite as a presidential candidate in wide circles of this Wednesday and against whom the judge’s conviction weighs for unproven crimes in a trial that is still ongoing, has twice said he will not run.

“I am not going to be the darling of the authorities,” Christina repeated in a recent letter, who is prosecuted not only because she herself was the first to condemn how justice — the prosecution of politics — but also the victim of a failed attack on him, which resulted in the gun being placed inches from his head, the result of speeches of hatred for his figure and demonization. However, every day there are revelations showing little interest of the competent judiciary in investigating the aggression.

With great wisdom and in line with its hitherto position of not running for office, the Argentine observer called this moment a “candidateless campaign” to reflect the desire and efforts of the CFK, as it is known on social media, to lead Peronism and Argentine progressivism in general, in an almost dramatic moment, with elections at the gate and still no agreed upon candidate.

Speculation about who will be the Frente de Todos (FdT) candidate has skyrocketed after President Alberto Fernández confirmed that he too will not run amid pressure that the drought that caused his mandate and the country worsened the conditions created by the ties with the International Monetary Fund.

The conflicting stances towards repaying the serious debt with which former right-wing President Mauricio Macri left Argentina have seen the economic and social crisis worsen and are the cause of the visible political pit within the FDT. after President Fernandez agreed early in his term to shift payments to the IMF.

According to comments in the Argentine newspaper Página 12, some hope that if Cristina eventually does not agree to run, she will be able to at least run the Frente de Todos election campaign, which allegedly has two positions for choosing a presidential candidate: that President Fernandez , which proposed to overcome the apparent candidacy vacuum by holding a primary election in the FdT (PASO) so that the proposal comes from there, as well as the proposal of Kirchnerism and the so-called Frente Renovador to reach a consensus outside of the PASO in the search for a candidate for the unit, reflected Page 12.

In the meantime, names such as Axel Kichillof, the current governor of Buenos Aires, who appears to be up for re-election, and current Economy Minister Sergio Massa, are being considered. But definitions are still to come.

On the other hand, from the right Juntos por el Cambio Macri, with cracks, the figure of Javier Milea of ​​the La Libertad Avanza party appears dangerously, who looks like a clearly “renovating” figure, but offers a conservative model that promises to reduce pensions and dollarize the country, as well as other measures that would mean failure, such as permitting the carrying of weapons and prohibiting the right to abortion.

Cristina warned of the damage the materialization of her program could cause during a performance at the Argentine theater in La Plata a month ago on the occasion of the launch of the Néstor Kirchner School of Justicialists.

With many still betting on CFK’s candidacy and others agreeing that he is at least leading and advising his campaign, what happens this Thursday in the Plaza de Mayo will materialize this day as a moment of determination. which are urgent.
