“There is no margin for Massa to stop being minister,” said Cecilia Moreau.

The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Cecilia Moreau, said Wednesday that “there is no margin” for Sergio Massa to leave the Ministry of Economy while he faces the campaign as a pre-candidate for president of Union for the Fatherland. The conditions that Argentina is going through do not give room for him not to continue being a minister,” said the leader of the Renewal Front, led by Massa. “I can’t imagine what other person could take charge at this time,” he added, in dialogue with Futuröck.Massa had not ruled out leaving his position in the Treasury, to throw himself fully into his presidential campaign, although he clarified that before he would discuss it with President Alberto Fernández and the vice, Cristina Kirchner. Economic shocks, however, would have buried that alternative.” It is a very difficult time and we are going through it with relative tranquility because Sergio is a minister, “said Moreau, who in the middle of last year replaced Massa in the presidency of the Lower House.Before another consultation, Moreau tried to downplay the uncertainty around the participation of the former president in the closing campaign of the UxP pre-candidate. ” They are acts, they are moments. We are putting everything together on the fly, it is not that there is an act worked, mobilized, as it was at the beginning of the campaign. We are very much on the go. I don’t attach importance to those things,” Moreau observed. President Alberto Fernández confirmed that he will not go to the event scheduled for this Thursday at the Teatro Argentino de La Plata.A Moreau was also asked about the number that aims to consolidate the ruling party in the PASO this Sunday, but she emphasized that the most important figure is the level of participation. It is worth mentioning that more than five million people decided not to vote, according to the provincial elections that have been held so far.” There is a fact that alarmed us in many provinces, “admitted the head of the Lower House. “It is the most important data to reverse. I’m worried about that,” he added. On the intern that Massa will fight with Juan Grabois, he commented: “Juan is a spacemate that I value, I have affection, he is a friend, but Massa is the president that Argentina needs. Juan is a colleague and a friend, who is going to add and is part of this space and I am convinced that on Monday he will be working side by side with Sergio”.
