After more than five hours of meeting, after 1:30 a.m. this Friday, the meeting of the national table of the Front de Tous during which the government began to define its electoral strategy. The referents of the ruling party have released the consensual statement between the different parties in which they support the complaint of proscription against Cristina Kirchner: During the meeting, Kirchnerism proposed to create a commission to propose to him to review his position and to be a candidate for the presidency.

As far as he could tell GlobeLiveMediaat the meeting in which the voice of space leaders and directors was heard, Alberto Fernández has expressed his intention to participate in PASO. I assert that he was questioned by Maxim Kirchner noting the impossibility of “do an intern to the president.” However, the president ratified his candidacy and insisted with a message that has begun to resonate in recent weeks: “If a better one appears, I’ll go down”.

Beyond the candidacies, the Frente de Todos has agreed to focus on obtaining “a common program” to evolve if they manage to retain power in the presidential elections. In the coming days, the President will contact the minority parties that make up the coalition to convey these ideas to them.

title “Democracy without restrictions”the representatives of the different spaces that make up the pro-government coalition have made public the official text in which they explain that the objective of the meeting was to “share the strategies necessary to face the challenges that await us”.

“We are in an international context of uncertainty in the face of the consequences of the pandemic, wars and conflicts for world hegemony”, the statement begins, proposing a scenario in which “concentrated powers” want to “transform a very unfavorable to fatalism”. from which there is no escape”.

In this context, “in 2023, two country models will clash. Argentina of shared, democratic and egalitarian progress; and the anachronism of a right that sees the country as a business platform for the few. They have nothing new to say. They are repeating formulas that failed decades ago, except to enrich small privileged groups,” the Frente de Todos continued, polarizing the electoral scene with the opposition.

For this reason, the referents of the ruling coalition believe they have “The responsibility is to take the necessary measures to prevent the proscription of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, whose leadership and electoral power cannot be taken away from us.”

In this way, Kirchnerism achieved its goal of including the “banning” of the head of space as a nodal point of the final communiqué and thus formalizing the operative outcry. “There is not, or should not be, economic, media or judicial power capable of deciding above the popular will”was added stressing once again the “unity in diversity” of the Front.

“We are fully aware of the special moment our society is going through. We are aware of all the economic and social demands to which we still have to provide concrete answers”, acknowledged the government, assuming that it must “continue efforts to reduce inflation, increase the purchasing power of wages and work on each of the necessary public policies” so that our people live better”. Another triumph of kirchnerism in the final text: the management of Alberto Fernández was audited and it was recalled that “it was the electoral contract” concluded ” for society” in 2019.

The Government continued to reinforce the idea of ​​unity “to avoid a return of the right” and underlined that “the PASOs are the institutional tool to open the participation of the parties and to synthesize the different visions of a common project” .

“The Frente de Todxs looks the Argentinians in the eye. We have gone through enormous difficulties, but here we are building the present and the future. We want to represent the millions of Argentines who want a Nation where those who produce and work are promoted and protected; where full-fledged jobs are created which allow individual progress and that of each community; where the technological science system and the national universities are a source of pride for all; where equality between men and women and full respect for diversity are a daily reality; where federalism is a principle and a practice to reduce the gaps in inequality, in order to have an increasingly just and integrated country”.

“Once again in 2023, the future of the country is at stake. The Frente de Todxs, united, reaffirms its pride in the struggles and achievements of the past; your attachment to this complex present; and his unwavering will to build a free, just and sovereign homeland”concluded the press release which emerged in the early hours of this Friday.

After a week of intense political thread and cross-negotiations to reach agreement on the agenda and format, the national table convened by Alberto Fernández met at the headquarters of the PJ Nacional. This was the first stage of the ruling party’s election discussion.

Governors, trade unionists, lawmakers, civil servants and social leaders arrived in tinted cars, with guards or spokespersons walking alongside them. Proper names always present during the great gatherings of Peronism. A sign that the meeting ended up having a relevance that, at first, no one from the ruling party attributed to it.

The surprise of the day was offered by the chef of La Cámpora, Maxim Kirchner, who had twice predicted that he would not show up. He changed his mind in the last hours and arrived with the Minister of the Interior, Edward “Wado” by Peter. The voice of Cristina Kirchner was present.

“It’s a positive gesture as they have always done in the army. A gesture of dialogue and unity”, they underlined a close friend of the camporista leader, who had not participated in a meeting with Alberto Fernández since in front of the former Minister of Economy. Martin Guzman left the government. The relationship between the two is broken but, with the upcoming elections, the political unity of Peronism becomes essential.

The penultimate to reach the PJ was Sergio Massa. With a sinister gesture and a serious look, he descends from the truck in which he usually travels. A few minutes later, the governor of Chubut arrived, Mariano Arcioniand finished assembling the Peronist puzzle to specify the family photo, I classify it as a symbol of Peronist unity which does not always represent the truth behind the image.

A varied and healthy catering awaited him on the first floor of the PJ, with coffee, water, sandwiches, croissants, brownies, cakes, orange juice, fruits and nuts. The meeting was held in the auditorium of the building, the renovation of which was completed a few days ago.

Three hours before the start of the meeting of the national table in the historic headquarters of the PJ, a group of activists approached the door of Matheu 130 and on the nearby walls they stuck posters with the image of Cristina Kirchner and a clear slogan: Proscription a whore! Cristina 2023. The homeland is the other.

What they say in Peronism is an attempt to ban the vice president was one of the issues leaders decided to include in the final document released tonight. All aligned behind a story built by CFK and its political space on the day the Federal Court N2 sentenced it in the road case.
