Turned to “last line of defense” of the ruling party to face the economic crisis, even in the midst of the inflationary rampage, and also holding a hard wrestling with the IMF technicians, the Minister of Economy Sergio Massa closed this afternoon the congress of the Front Renovator in Tortuguitas where he demanded that the Frente de Todos “have a candidate to face the challenges that are coming “, but he announced that if there is STEP your space “will be putting the best“.
“I think that the best thing for Argentina and the Frente de Todos is unity, but if it is decided that there is a STEP, write us down in the STEP. We will be there,” Massa stressed.
When closing the Congress of the Renovation Front, the national official pointed out: “We do not extort, we do not pressure, we give our opinion as political leaders. Let no one play the victim, we are all great. Let no one hide behind victimization. Our opinion is that in unity we build a new page to put an end to Argentina’s adjustment and indebtedness.”
“We did politics with me on the plain, we do not need a position to participate or discuss ideas. I don’t need a position to do politicsI do politics because I believe, for the country I dream of,” Massa emphasized.
In addition, he stressed that the Renovation Front had “good and bad” throughout the 10 years since its foundation, but they managed to maintain the “entity” and “unity”.
“Four years ago we put our differences aside,” stressed the Minister of Economy and recalled that in 2019 they were summoned by Cristina Kirchner, whom he defined as “the leader who had the most votes.”
Within this framework, Massa specified that when the Frente de Todos was created, they understood that “it was a time of humility and unity”, since the Renewal Front is “a force that believes in dialogue” and seeks “consensus with those who do not think equal”.
Likewise, the head of the Palacio de Hacienda specified that “the debt is an additional problem for Argentina”, which “condemned the future of Argentina”, but warned: “I am not one of those who complain and stay crying over problems, I am one of those who seek solutions.
Recalling the currency run and the political crisis that was generated with the departure of Martín Guzmán from the Ministry of Economy, Massa stressed: “They said the helicopter was coming and we did not hide, we put the body on it.”
The minister considers that this internal election will sow the economic path with thorns until December, worse if the electoral harvest of the Frente de Todos is meager, and for this reason some relatives, such as the head of Deputies Cecilia Moreau, came to point out that his resignation was possible, because “he’s fed up”.
In the Renovation Front, voices had already been heard in recent weeks talking about “leaving” the official coalition, all in a framework of internal pressure that, two weeks after the presentation of the lists, is still far from being resolved. And Massa suffers this wear directly in his management, every time worse inflation rates arrive, a situation that the minister attributes in large part to the instability of the ruling party itself.
The truth is that Massa’s Renovation Front became one of the main support legs of the return of Kirchnerism to power.
