Pichetto: With two other acts in the conurbano, we arrived at the poll

– Did you call Alberto?

– I called him the same night and he called me back, but that night was very complicated. In the end, I did not speak, I suppose, because his program is very demanding. I have no interest in being part of the next government. I find myself in a place of democratic and clear opposition, and I will be in the space of Together for Change, from a Peronist point of view, with many Peronists who have accompanied us throughout the world. country

– How to maintain the unity of the blocs in Parliament?

– The important thing in politics is the leaders who are very difficult to replace. Once you arm them and connect to the company, it is not easy to replace them. If Macri is ready to continue, no one will discuss it. He showed that he was able to reverse a situation like that of the primaries and reach 40% of the votes. And I tell him more, if the campaign lasted another two weeks, we were on the ballot. We missed some numbers in the conurbano of the province of Buenos Aires. With two seats of "Yes, you can" in Lomas de Zamora or La Matanza, we would have grown more and Alberto Fernández would have fallen more.

– How do you imagine the Fernández government?

– We need to give the elected president time to define his teams and the direction he will take, but some things seem urgent to me. I think we should solve the problem with Brazil, stop talking about Lula, we must respect the institutions of the neighboring country and Bolsonaro must also respect Fernandez. In this context, it must establish a country-country institutional relationship and preserve Mercosur, since 20% of our primary production is destined for Brazil and our production of parts for motor vehicles and cars is also closely related. You have to get out of this subject. With regard to Venezuela, my position is clear: I think we should not leave the Lima group nor stop calling the dictatorship of the Maduro government. Hopefully this means that we must maintain an intelligent dialogue with the United States (the report was written before it was known that Fernandez had spoken to President Donald Trump).
