Cristina Kirchner, Vice President.
the national deputy Máximo Kirchner assured this Monday that he does not believe that Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner will be a presidential candidate in the 2023 elections and affirmed that, for him, the opposition candidate for the presidency will be Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
When asked on El Destape Radio about the candidates of the Frente de Todos, Máximo stated: “Alberto has said yes, Massa has said no because of what he read and I think Cristina will not be.”
“I think that (Cristina) has made a great effort, the wear and tear is very great in a Presidency,” he said about the former president, although he noted that “it takes a few bodies away” from the rest of the potential applicants of the space.
When asked if the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo ‘Wado’ de Pedro, could embody that nomination He indicated that “he is very capable, a good militant, he walks, he is at a very interesting age to be President,” adding that there are also “very capable” governors.
About the oppositionindicated that he believes that the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, is “who has real electoral possibilities” and added: “We have to see if they want to become a little independent, if he loses his fear with (Mauricio) Macri.”

In another order, he assured that the candidates of the Frente de Todos heading for the 2023 presidential election will be settled in PASO or in partisan internal elections, affirming that “We believe in participation and in the construction of majorities.”
“If they want there to be elections, there will be PASO or no PASO, internal to Peronism, we always believe in participation and in the construction of majorities,” said Máximo Kirchner, and argued that, beyond the way of choosing candidates, it is necessary to shorten the time between the primaries and the generals.
“If not, what happened in 2019 happens, when the damage that (then president) Macri did between the PASO and the general was terrible, and Argentina lost 20,000 million dollars,” he explained.
“If they want there to be elections, there will be PASO or no PASO, internal to Peronism, we always believe in participation and in the construction of majorities”
Also, he said that It is necessary to analyze the role of the ruling party at the national level during a PASO and, in this sense, he recalled that “Macri went to a PASO in 2015, not in 2019.”
“For an ruling party that its President goes to the PASO with other candidates is strange,” he said about the possibility that Alberto Fernández competes in those elections.

He also pointed out that it is necessary to learn from experiences and pointed out that “Peronism lost almost 40 national deputies in 2015, who left and at one point allowed the development of some type of policy” against the interests of the workers.
In another order, He wondered “why the CGT says that it has no deputies, when today there must be between nine and ten deputies of union origin, who even behaved very well and voted against the Fund”, in allusion to the agreement with the credit organization approved in Congress.
Around the figure of Mauricio Macri He questioned “the ideas he expresses” and pointed out: “They come as an idea with the theme of returning to the AFJP system”, after recalling “the commissions they charged, which they invested in Clarín, Telecom, Macro”.
“We were telling it, and in 2015 our candidate was only very clear at the end, since until then he had a speech very similar to Macri’s,” gave his opinion about Daniel Scioli.
In another order, he said that “wanting to install in society the idea that the intervention of the Armed Forces (in terms of security) solves all problems, which is a lie.”
In economic matters, and in particular on inflation, the pro-government deputy said that it is necessary “to speak well with the owners of the companies so that they understand that the Argentine people made a great effort”, and said that the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, “is managing the consequences; This is the reality”.

“Obviously he has a superior knowledge than (Martín) Guzmán about the State, and many times we have different views on an economic issue, but this is natural, and that is the Front of All, to value those different views,” he argued.
Finally, when responding to the attack against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of last September 1, indicated that a climate “with a lot of violence” had been developing and recalled that, “after the March 24 march, they filled the city with posters accusing Cristina of being a murderer.”

“One sees all that violent network that starts after March 24, one saw how small these groups are but also the violent charge and that level of aggressiveness,” he stressed.
In this regard, he alluded to the media treatment of the attack and said that, “when the media said it was a toy gun, at least it helped us to make the boys believe that the situation was not so serious”, alluding to the reaction of his own children.
“Those who wanted to denigrate served us at least”told as a personal anecdote, after which he indicated: “Imagine, for the boys it is the grandmother”, alluding to the place that Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has for her children.
