PABLO VARELA, FROM TUCUMÁN

Hoy 14:36

Friday night Sergio Massa led a dinner at the governor’s residence with Juan Manzur and with almost all the provincial leaders of Peronism. Only some governors were missing, such as Jorge Capitanich or Omar Perotti, who are close to the elections in their provinces. Who was also not present was the governor of Tierra del Fuego, Gustavo Melella. Trade union centers such as the CGT and the CTA, as well as representatives of social organizations, were summoned to the invitation. The heads of the legislative blocks, José Mayans, Juliana Di Tullio and Germán Martínez, were also present.

“Now that we are playing for the beans, you are going to see Peronism on the field”, the Unión por la Patria candidate was heard saying that during his time in Tucumán he had his “bath” of Peronism and managed to rally the leaders behind his candidacy. Far from catharsis or passing of bills, the meeting took place in a good atmosphere and served to “heal” the wounds following the PASO that placed UP in third place. Besides, He reiterated on several occasions that it is necessary to self-criticize and ask for “forgiveness” for the errors of this Government.

The meeting took place following the signing of a series of agreements with leaders at the Tucumán Government House on Friday followingnoon.

As this newspaper learned, once the dinner was over, the governors in charge of speaking were the Buenos Aires native. Axel Kicillofthe Santacruceña Alicia Kirchnerthe puntano Alberto Rodríguez Saá, Manzur himself, and the closing was in charge of the candidate. Listening attentively were the deputy Máximo Kirchner, the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro, and the head of AYSA, Malena Galmarini, other attendees at the meeting.

For his part, the Tucumán governor highlighted the importance of “looking each other in the eyes”, a way of pointing out that it is necessary to generate a new mystique in the face of the general elections and get rid of any type of misgivings.

One of the axes on which the conversation took place is to strengthen Massa’s “leadership.” At the same time, there was talk of calling for a “collective construction” and the need to understand that we are in a “hinge moment.”

The cuckoo generated by the libertarian candidate has set off alarms in Peronism.

“Responsibility” is another of the words heard at dinner. “Responsibility” for door-to-door military. “We will have to sleep little and see our children little, but we have a responsibility; I would not leave my children in Milei’s care” said one of the attendees at the invitation to PROFILE.

A graphical piece of information regarding the mood. Buenos Aires Peronism, which historically deploys local campaigns, will recalibrate its messages to be able to “military” Massa’s candidacy in the face of the danger of Milei in tune with the national scene.

As this newspaper was able to reconstruct, Rodríguez Saá also spoke in line with Massa’s statements. He spoke of asking for “forgiveness” for the mistakes that were made since 2019 and asked for the “double commands” to end while highlighting that the leadership of Peronism today is exercised by the presidential candidate.

The San Luis in turn demanded that a response be given to the agenda that emerged from the primaries and expressed that Massa is the right one for it.

Many leaders maintained that they did not see the avalanche of votes coming for Milei in their territories and they understood that the inertia of the provincial elections in which the vast majority saw themselves as winners would be enough.

Another concern that arose on Friday night is the issue of co-participation. Many governors understand the provinces would be “unviable” in the event that Milei wins the presidency, especially considering the lack of assistance from joint funds.
