The Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz, said today that she does not imagine that President Alberto Fernández will compete in Open, Simultaneous and Compulsory Primaries (PASO) and the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, although he did not rule out this hypothetical scenario in the Frente de Todos either.
“Although Sergio Massa has been saying that he is not a candidate, (but) there is an expectation placed on him if it manages as a political front to accommodate a variable that hits all Argentines like inflation»he pointed.
Anyway, He remarked that “there are a few months left” and that the leader of the Frente Renovador “is going to wait for the moment when he and the President will clearly define who is going to go” between them two.
«I do not imagine a competition between the President and his Minister of Economy, but there is still a lack“, he expressed Toulouse Peace.
in dialogue with Eduardo Paladini on Radio Rivadaviathe official confirmed that if the head of state decides to go for re-election, he will automatically be his candidate.
“My candidate is Alberto Fernandez If he decides to be a candidate, I will clearly support his decision,” he said, although he clarified that he “has not said if he will be an internal candidate for the Frente de Todos.”
In the event that the president decided to withdraw from the fight, “an offer of candidates would be opened” within the Frente de Todos, Tolosa Paz would take some time to see which one he has “greater empathy” with.
The one who has already ruled out accompanying is the leader of the Frente Patria Grande and the MTE, Juan Grabois, who has said he is willing to run as a presidential candidate if the vice president Cristina Kirchner and the Minister of the Interior Edward “Wado” of PeterThey do not do it.
Tolosa Paz does not imagine a STEP between the president and one of his ministers
«It is not yet known if Massa, if any other minister, if Daniel Scioli, if Cristina herself. It is not yet defined who the candidates will be »clarified the head of the Social Development portfolio.
About Alberto Fernandezexplained that his eventual electoral participation is not exclusive of that of other candidates within the Frente de Todos, and acknowledged that it would be an exceptional and “singular” situation in history for a president in office to have to compete with another from the same space in a internal.
«It is unique. In our historical process within what Peronism is, we have never seen a situation of this nature.. But that it has not happened before does not mean that it does not have to happen now to legitimize a process“, he explained.
Consulted regarding the pressure from La Cámpora and hard Kirchnerism so that Alberto Fernandez define as soon as possible if you will be a candidate or not, Toulouse Peace She was harsh in pointing out that it will be the president himself who “manages the times” of the announcement “and stressed that”there is time left to continue strengthening the management.
“They may have their truth when it comes to stating that the president must make that decision or announce it long in advance, but that chapter was already closed on the day of the table (Front of All policy). Arguing regarding it once more does not make much sense because he is the one who manages the times. He feels that there is time left to continue strengthening the management“, he indicated, and recalled that Néstor and Cristina Kirchner always communicated their electoral decisions on the edge of legal closures for the registration of candidacies.
On the idea that Cristina Kirchner was “proscribed” by the Justice in terms of electoral participation, Tolosa Paz agreed with this interpretation, despite the fact that nothing would prevent the vice president from going to the electoral Justice and writing down her name as a candidate..
«Cristina for us is proscribed as long as there is a judicial persecution, there is a sentence that weighs on her. Not only have we been maintaining that she is innocent, but in the search for this persecution they make it impossible for the leader of the movement to compete. Although technically he can stand for candidacy, we all know that the Chamber that has to confirm the sentence has been demonstrating impartiality“, considered.
«Our pulse does not tremble when it comes to saying that we have the vice president of the Nation proscribed for the judicial persecution that was consolidated in the sentence but that started long before this instance“, he concluded.
