The Head of Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, introduced his new Sports Secretary, Carlos “El Chapa” Retegui, who arrived at the post at the proposal of Martín Lousteau and the Buenos Aires UCR. The only detail is that that place was destined long ago to Juan Nosiglia, Former Buenos Aires legislator and son of Enrique “Coti” Nosiglia. The (now aborted) designation in front of Sports of a bearer of that surname He had brought Larreta problems with his ally, Elisa Carrió. The head of government agreed to appoint the former coach of Las Leonas and will look for another place in his cabinet for Nosiglia, who had already been preparing to occupy the position. Retegui did not stop criticizing his Kirchnerist past.
“El Chapa” came to the Cabinet following Larreta negotiated with the Buenos Aires radicals to give them a place in his government. Lousteau was the one who proposed the former coach of Las Leonas, whom he considered a better option than Nosiglia. “Putting Retegui in that position allows us to expand the space, prioritize the place – it is once once more a secretariat – and have more spaces for Evolution,” they reasoned in the space made up of Lousteau and Emiliano Yaccobitti. They tried to contain the anger of Nosiglia, who had already designed his equipment and had begun to internalize in the area: “Juan is going to be, although in another place,” they remarked on the places that continue to negotiate with the head of Government.
From the Buenos Aires Government, they also relativized that there might be some anger on the part of Nosiglia, since the designation was made in agreement with the Buenos Aires UCR. Of course That must be told to someone who thought they already had the position and had been moving as if it were a fait accompli. However, in the surroundings of Larreta they assured that there will be some place for him (perhaps a less visible one so that Carrió does not come out to question?).
Retegui has a long career as the technical director of the Argentine men’s and women’s field hockey teams and comes with a history of Olympic gold medals. He also has a political trajectory, in the opposite space to Larreta (He once said regarding Cristina Fernández de Kirchner: “I love her. In the times that I had the opportunity to be with her, I felt that she wanted to do the best for Argentines. She is a person that I admire”). Within the opposition alliance, the reproaches have already begun for adding someone who comes from being a councilor for Kirchnerism in San Fernando between 2015 and 2019 at the hands of Aníbal Fernández, with whom he has a personal relationship.
Regarding this change in the political sector, Retegui said: “Life is not black or white. There are grays, shades. I have friends on both sides And that does not mean that one with respect, with transparency, with sincerity cannot collaborate or help. I have many friends in the national government and also in the city government. “Those who lynched the Buenos Aires legislator Natalia Sánchez Jáuregui will surely hear it, for changing political space in the opposite direction.
The incorporation of Retegui joins others that Larreta is doing to prop up the Buenos Aires alliance with the radicals on the way to 2023. The former Buenos Aires legislator Hernan Rossi will soon come to the cabinet of José Luis Giusti, in Economic Development, while the former legislator Ines Gorbea -close to Lousteau- will reach the Secretary of the Environment. And they say that, for Nosiglia, despite the anger of these days, there will still be a place, although no one yet knew exactly what it would be.
