Alberto Fernandez vs. Sergio Massa: the fight against the government over inflation and PASO is on fire
It looks like Sergio Massa, but it is Alberto Fernández who is speaking. “Inflation is a problem and to fight it I can’t run, I have to be president,” the head of state who resigned from re-election, in his second foray into the suburbs in 24 hours, told Escobar in an act.
At the president’s table, they assured that the president’s words have nothing to do with Massa’s attack on PASO or with the executive role he assumed with candidate gestures. “Massa cannot run as long as he is economy minister,” said the head of AYSA and wife of the head of the Renewal Front, Malena Galmarini, weeks ago.
Production secretary José Ignacio de Mendiguren repeated the same thing and made it clear that he wants him president. The same thing had been suggested by Massa privately at the Frente de Todos Summit on February 16th. To know more.
Home government burns not only for the economy
Matías Tombolini opened. He had been arguing loudly all day. He has had several meetings with multi bosses and price makers. He is fighting inflation. And he’s losing by a landslide. Cristina shoots him down and Axel Kicillof accuses him of being lukewarm. Tombolini said: “What do you want me to do?” Then, exhausted, he exclaimed, “As we are, no price controls are feasible.”
It was a way of expressing his helplessness in the face of redialling. He has decided to blame inflation on Miguel Pesce: “I see what is happening, but I cannot act with this monetary policy”. This Friday the INDEC will give another blow: the index will not ease and inflation will touch 8%. Marco Lavagna prepared – at the beginning of the week – a confidential report: according to INDEC, inflation would be between 7.5 and 7.9%.
The spread of inflation will have a major political impact this Friday. The question is already generating crosses, internal quarrels and accusations. Kicillof is on fire. He mistreats Tombolini and demands immediate action: he’s back with a frozen one. To know more.
