The government analyzes how the call for agreement continues and believes that it has already allowed him to recover the initiative.

"We take the initiative."

Monday, there was no euphoria in the main official offices, because the government has not been enthusiastic for a while.

But the sentence of one of Mauricio Macri's closest badociates summed up the official atmosphere that reigned these hours after the presidential call to discuss consensus, that no one predicts what will end but who served, at least for the moment, regain control of the agenda and decrease the tension in the red circle.

The government came from a seguidilla bad news, particularly related to the rise in country risk and the rising dollar, which once again stirred demand for revision around Macri's bid.

The Casa Rosada has badessed in this sense this Monday as positive the reaction of political, economic and ecclesiastical leaders to the official letter sent by the head of state. In government, they evaluated the steps to follow: call for bilateral meetings with the different sectors It was one of the options being considered in the afternoon of this Monday.

Nobody believes, however, that the president plans to review his style of conduct or open his administration to opposition leaders, while he phoned Roberto Lavagna, Sergio Mbada and Daniel Scioli to promote the agreement. They say that conversations with the former Minister of Economy and with the former mayor of Tigre have been "hopscotch"

For example, last year, Cambiemos applied the same method to the end-August currency crisis, which shook the foundations of the government coalition. After this first weekend of September, the fifth of Olivos, the president decided to reduce the government, sacrificing Mario Quintana and promote an opening of your decision table it had a positive impact on the red circle, but in practice it only lasted a few meetings.

Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, the most pragmatic member of the small table of the PRO, played a leading role this weekend. And that differs from part of the party leadership. In the crisis of these days, the Mayor of Buenos Aires again played a key role.

Now, the economic crisis, the unpopularity of the head of state and the specter of the return of Cristina Kirchner, that Macri has inserted with little desire and without any wait in his appeal, plead in favor of the decision. The government sought oxygen in the agreement that had begun to discuss with some opposition leaders like Miguel Ángel Pichetto, but They hoped to filter later. The president had received the senator from the PJ in Olivos a month ago.

The increase in the popularity of the former president who, according to Casa Rosada, has contributed in part to changing the markets in advance. Isonomía gave a private client an inquiry that helped to generate a feeling 9 points in favor of Cristina Kirchner in a possible vote against Macri.

For the government, this work has changed the markets. Last week, Casa Rosada responded expressly to an investigation by the company Demos Consulting SRL, which showed a scenario of greater parity. Demos belongs to Nicolás Cha, who worked for the National University of Tres de Febrero and maintains close ties with the Chief of Staff.

Nicolás Dujovne was one of those who presented the first draft with the 10 points filtered last week. Dujovne has come to negotiate with the International Monetary Fund to freeze the exchange rate range in an attempt to calm inflation. The April index will be announced next week by the INDEC. The number should be high again.

The agreement gives some air to the government, which seeks to save time until the second half of June, when the parties confirm their candidacies and their alliances.

In recent weeks, even, Casa Rosada has inaugurated agenda "meetings" to agree with the administrations of Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires on what to say and how to say it. They are led by Fernando de Andreis, Secretary General of the Presidency, accompanied by Rogelio Frigerio and national and municipal officials.

Before announcements during which the government announced the essential prices, among other programs to encourage consumption, the Minister of the Interior had a lively discussion in which he proposed: the "hand to hand" meetings of the president do not have the effect anymore.

However, Frigerio is again positioned as an important official for the government. Macri and Peña let it go. This Monday, the Minister He had lunch with Emilio Monzó, it continues outside the main decisions of the macrismo.

At the dinner of a week ago in the apartment of the 20th floor of Cristian Ritondo, which attended the main leaders of macrismo in its national versions, Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires, Monzó was remarkable for his absence.

In a first badysis, the head of the lower house has been rated as one of the articulators of the most reluctant areas of opposition, such as Kirchner and the left, in order to bring them closer to the same. call. In the end, the idea was rejected. In Congress, the agreements are not numerousWednesday's session in which the government sought to give him a final sanction to the law of financing of political parties had fallen to the last hour of this Monday.

Last Friday, the Spanish psychologist Roberto Zapata He returned to Buenos Aires. Welcomed a few blocks from Jaime Duran Barba, in the Recoleta district of Buenos Aires, he had left the rented apartment a few weeks ago and had returned to Madrid.

"El doc", as its relatives call it, is for many the most important member of the team of Ecuadorian consultants. It's the one that collapsed a few weeks ago because of the results of the qualitative studies that the PRO has commanded throughout the country and that the Macri environment is a basic guide to dealing with the election campaign. During the election period, the country walks much more regularly.
