fierce government intern due to flight restrictions

The decision to reduce the number of daily passengers that could reach the country was not free, opened a divide between government factions that can have consequences.

Alexis will fight he was happy when needed Minister. It was in bitter circumstances, they recognized it in their environment. Upon the death of Mario Meoni, Sergio Massa promoted two candidates: Cecilia Moreau, national deputy for his space and Guerrera in charge of Argentine Trains. They respected Massa the distribution of posts that had been agreed upon when the cabinet was designed and, after Meoni’s death, he proposed two candidates and Alberto Fernández chose one of them.

But Guerrera’s detainees immediately exploded, his relatives admit; He is not the size of Meoni and the government intern on the issue of flight restrictions has been a sea of ​​scorching lava since the start of the pandemic.

“I don’t know that you break your balls if everyone outside of us doesn’t vote for any of us,” they say Florencia Carignano threw Eduardo “Wado” De Pedro in the face with a half-smile in one of the meetings held on the subject.

In reality, Guerrera had two specific interests within his massist logic: the “failed“They are not voters of the Frente de Todos as a world entity ruled by Kirchnerism, but not necessarily resistant to Massa, his political boss, who asked him to “hold on” to the idea of ​​restricting.

The second interest is the “support” of the “accompaniment” of the airlines, with a possible candidacy of the man of the Tiger to succeed Alberto. We know that Massa maintains very good business relations, from which patrons always emerge, even when his electoral results in the past were not the best.

Carla Vizzotti was not born in the same costume as De Pedro, but naturally she is inclined to restrictions and in the long run, she needs a political umbrella which Kirchnerism constantly offers and welcomes.

It should be noted that of all these discussions that preceded the restriction of income by Ezeiza, Alberto Fernández did not participateHe preferred to stay out of the fray and delegated it to Santiago Cafiero. The chief of staff, participants say, did not take an active position, generally listened to the belligerents and withdrew to make a decision.

The reasoning of Florencia Carignano, powerful national director of migration and the aforementioned Vizzotti was clear: “Those outside will never vote for us, they signed the affidavit that said it could happen, and if the Delta community traffic begins, we lose everything we gain by vaccinating people. ”

In electoral terms, it was difficult for Guerrera to defend this position. Kirchnerism when it says “we” speaks for itself, and excludes the interests of massism.

The revealing ANAC report

El ministro de Transporte había llevado informes y documentación, en buena parte proporcionados por la Administración nacional de Aviación Civil (ANAC), la que, por naturaleza, es proclive a mantener los vuelos, y justamente, esa documentación con estudios y análisis, concluded that not only it was possible to maintain the income of 2 thousand people as it was before the last DNU, but it was in the capacity of increase this number by 50% and keep airport controls as strict as Salud requires.

But he almost did not expose them, he found political motivations that he could not face. In addition, near Guerrera, they did not come out of Cafiero very well: “when Kirchnerism advances, it no longer gives its opinion, but on anything, eh? And then he runs to advise Alberto to do what those who shout the most say, “said the source to the detriment of the Chief of Staff.

The wounds remain and no sutures appear. Massa does not forget that when he toured the United States to “soften” positions for debt renegotiation with the IMF, the government abstained from voting against Nicaragua for human rights violations. ‘man, “when that was the only thing that we had asked not to do,” said a source close to Tigrens.

A tour with two objectives: to help Martín Guzmán to negotiate, but above all, to position the head of the Chamber of Deputies as a leader of international weight, well received in the United States. A message directed outwards, but also inwards.

They passed a bill in Massa, overwhelming bill, for this vote. When he received the first complaint call, those who were there said his cheeks exploded red and his eyes were injected. The move to restrict flights is in the same line.

The leader of the deputies has adapted to endure, to avoid impromptu reactions or miscalculations concerning his power which have cost him so much in the past, but it is not that he is not on the rise, nor that ‘it does not record all the name calling. “Revenge is a dish that is eaten cold”, they repeat to themselves in their entourage and they swallow saliva and toads.
