For its part, Honored Guildleader of Evita and union secretary of the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (UTEP) told this media: “We think of the launch of the Patria de los Comunes as an example of political participation of social movements”. He also affirmed that the construction of the new space within the Frente de Todos “aims to define a productive, economic and social program, and to express clearly which country we want to integrate into the 21st century and into the world with work and dignity for the popular majorities”.

From the point of view of the social leader, what is presented now is a challenge for the popular movements: “There is a great void in our democracy that it is discredited, with a huge lack of representativeness”, he analyzed and, for this reason, considered: “We must present a proposal to provide electoral volume in places where the traditional sectors of the Frente de Todos have lost prestige, representation and territoriality”.

“Our party’s mission is to broaden participation in the sectors resulting from social and popular militancy to channel the renewal and oxygenation of certain territories”, expanded Menéndez and recognized in the dialogue with this media that He was proposed as a candidate for mayor of Tres de Febreromunicipality currently governed by Diego Valenzuela (Together for change).

If until now the official social organizations are strong allies of the Head of State, whom they have known how to protect from the attacks of Kirchnerism in the moments of greatest hostility, they view the possibilities of re-election of Fernández with suspicion.

In the last hours emilio persicoa leader who knew how to face the double head of state, declared in dialogue with radio with you what would you like Cristina Kirchner to be a candidate, but immediately expressed reservations about her chances of winning: “I doubt it can reach more than 40%”. The social leader did not comment on which possible FdT candidate can top that percentage of votes.

With the presidency of La Patria de los Comunes, the leader and reference of Evita seems to have distanced himself from the Justicialista Party, which he joined in 2007 at the hands of the former president. Nestor Kirchner.
