Larroque, on the re-election of the President: “It is already behind, there are no sectors that raise it”

Andrés ‘Cuervo’ Larroque, Minister of Community Development of the Province of Buenos Aires, returned this Friday to reject the re-election of President Alberto Fernández. “(the president’s candidacy) is behind us, there are no sectors that are proposing that,” said the official of Axel Kicillof. “The argument put forward by people close to him has to do with being able to sustain the exercise of power until December 10, but that is obviously beyond doubt,” he added. In statements to Nacional Rock, the referent of La Cámpora said that the Head of State has a “very important” role in the face of the electoral process, but, he clarified, “framed in the leadership and conduction” of Vice President Cristina Kirchner and the “participation” of the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa. ” Beyond sometimes getting entangled with issues that are linked to ego and situations of self-esteem, it seems to me that the most important thing is that he has a central role to play in the design of the electoral strategy, “he said. The president and his deputy have not spoken to each other for months. Their public appearances have long been limited to institutional events – the last time they were seen together was during the opening of ordinary sessions – and the dispute intensifies as the closing of lists approaches.” The internal process is generated from a deconfiguration of the Front when Alberto decides to ignore the role of Cristina, “said Larroque.The leader of La Cámpora again questioned the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), pointing out that “it ties the hands and feet of the Government when it comes to managing economic policy.” And he added that if “individual issues or issues linked to egos” do not prevail in the Frente de Todos, there is capacity to build an electoral triumph. Asked about the possibility that the former president is a candidate for the ruling party, he illustrated: “She is the backbone of space. Going without it to the elections is like having gone to Qatar without [Lionel] Messi.” In line with the discourse of Kirchnerism, the “Raven” asked to break the “judicial tricks” that were made so that Peronism “can not count on its best candidate.” On a possible scenario of PASO that faces Cristina Kirchner (in case she is a pre-candidate for the presidency) with another candidate of the ruling party, he observed: “It is like someone proposing to make an intern to [Juan Domingo] Perón. It exists there, but I see it as difficult.”
