Finally Alberto Fernández will assume today the presidency of the Council of the Justice Party (PJ) at the national level, in an event that will be held in the Club Defensores de Belgrano and attended by officials, governors, legislators, mayors and union and supporters. The process of renewing national PJ authorities will take place from 19 o’19 with the first meeting of the new council that will lead to partisan destinations at a stage that begins with Peronism in power and which has among its objectives “modernize the party” and give it a “more agile” structure. After the five-year period in the presidency of national deputy José Luis Gioja in an adverse context by the division of Peronism after the defeat of 2015 and judicial intervention in 2018, it will now be Fernandez’s turn, in a very different situation and that fulfills an unwritten tradition that marks that when justice is in government , the head of state is the partisan leader.
Gioja, who said goodbye yesterday with an open letter to militancy, was greeted by officials and leaders who thanked him for his leadership at the head of the party.” The militant task of the PJ is essential to ensure the unity of Peronism and the construction of the Front Of All,” chief of staff Santiago Cafiero stressed in a social media recognition of the outgoing president of justice. In his writing Gioja reviewed that, in the work of the party unit, he “firsted the reason the leaders to put the interests of the Fatherland ahead of the personal ones”, and considered it a “great honor personally and politically” that they had chosen him to preside over the party in which he had “all his life” and which allowed him to “access important places of conduct” such as the governorate of St. John for three periods.
At the event of the assumption of the day the President will be accompanied by all sectors of Peronism that agreed to the list called “Unity and Federalism”, which represents the different spaces within the justice movement, including groups such as La Cámpora, which had been left outside the PJ in 2016.Under the premise of “unity in diversity”, the National PJ Council will be composed of Vice-President 1 , National Deputy Cristina Alvarez Rodríguez; Vice President 2nd, Governor Bonaerense, Axel Kicillof; Vice President 3rd, The Deputy Governor of Chaco, Analía Rach Quiroga; Vice President 4th, the governor of Tucumán, Juan Manzur; Vice-President 5th, National Deputy Lucia Corpacci; complying with the Gender Parity Act.
