Papá Kirchner repeated two words without getting tired: “Synthesis that surpasses”. The complete sentence was: “Each one has the relative truth of him, and then you have to reach a superior synthesis.” If someone wants to remember the tone exactly, he alone has to replace the s’s with jacks. So he will have in his head the exact sound of Néstor.
Máximo Kirchner used a part of that phrase: the key to his speech at the closing of the Congress of the Justicialista Party in the province of Buenos Aires was the word “synthesis”.
The complete paragraph was exactly this: “Even though we have PASO in 2021, we do not use them. I want to tell you what I think. It is an instrument, it is like the guitar. It depends on who grabs it, it sounds good or it sounds bad. So I think that in order not to depend so much on the virtues of the guitarist, the best thing to do is to have a good score. And the score must be a good government program that is fulfilled by STEP or by synthesis as of December 10, 2023. It is the best way for our space to settle the discussions.”
Obviously, when Máximo says that the Frente de Todos did not use the PASO, he means that it did not do so at the national level. He also did not appeal to several lists in 2019.
In order not to fall into a naive interpretation, it must be remembered that Néstor Kirchner claimed the need for synthesis as a synonym for breadth. He wasn’t doing it as a way to back out of the power struggle. On the contrary. He always sought to increase it. Because of course, the synthesis between two or three relatively even poles is not the same as the synthesis between two or three asymmetric poles.
Sergio Massa and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are not two poles in conflict. Yes they are, together, with respect to President Alberto Fernández. At least for the moment.
“Let’s show our faces even if it comes badly,” asked the president of the Buenos Aires PJ. Neither Cristina nor Massa, and neither Daniel Scioli, to put another of the names in dance, has won the elections on October 22 today nor those of the eventual ballotage in November. Peronism has not won them with the Frente de Todos or whatever the acronym that registers in June to compete on October 22 is called at the end. But it seems clear that, within Peronism, the relative power of the President is increasingly reduced. This reduces his margin of action to encourage a list of his own in the PASO on August 13. The dominant version is that Alberto drives Scioli. Could be. But Scioli has more intention to vote than the President, so a cold analysis leads one to think that, if Scioli plays, he might do it in coordination with CFK. Perhaps this framework explains the more composed tone of Máximo in relation to other of his speeches. It is also the basis of La Cámpora’s insistence, in private, on highlighting the presence of Gabriel Katopodis among the quintet of negotiators chosen by the Congress of the Justicialista Party. Although he has been a member of the 99 percent majority Peronist nucleus from Buenos Aires since the beginning of the year, the one that recognizes CFK’s leadership, he maintains his good personal relationship with the President.
Another key point was regarding the end. Máximo proclaimed the objective that “Peronism is the government in the province of Buenos Aires and that it helps Peronism to govern the country.” Regardless of the forms that the tactic takes – splitting yes or splitting no – that phrase buries all fantasy regarding the Province as a desire for it to be an island/trench. Discarded, then, the dream of a Peronist province in a country governed at the national level by the right or the extreme right.
Máximo’s biggest questioning pointed to the relationship with the International Monetary Fund. How Martín Guzmán and Fernández negotiated, on the one hand, despite the fact that he called them by his first and last name, and hence the mention of his own retirement as president of the bloc of national deputies of the Frente de Todos . And, on the other hand, he twice highlighted the indebtedness taken by Mauricio Macri with the International Monetary Fund as the cardinal sin of Argentina. It is an indication of how Peronism will build the axes of its electoral campaign. An indication, still, isolated. Máximo used the word “program” and called to define it. It’s not the first time he’s done it. But nobody advances, yet, in the content. There are more program claims than concrete examples on which focuses he should underline. At that point Peronism is delayed.
