More attacks on Martín Guzmán: the dance of names continues to replace him

In April 2021, a little over a year later, Martín Guzmán commented at the economic group meeting that rates would increase, that work was being done on segmentation so that the adjustment would be greater for those who could pay and that he will demand the resignation of Undersecretary Federico Basualdo.

The minister is likely the machinery on which it started had not been measured at that time and since then he has been subjected to various forms of harassment which have weakened him and stressed when the ruling party was defeated in the mid-term elections and then at the closing of the IMF agreement.

The rates will soon be adjusted and not partial, inviting it to be read as a Guzmán victory.

Basuldo, however, remains in his position. And from different places in the ruling coalition they fired at Guzmán.

This weekend there are all sorts of signs. Clarion has confirmed that Alberto Fernández he fired Roberto Lavagna and his bishops offered the position to Martín Redrado and Emmanuel Alvarez Agis.

As for the former Minister of Economy, it was learned that he often met with the President. and youHe appears to support Guzmán and praised the negotiations held with the IMF.

Kay Redrado they tempted him from Alberto Fernández’s inner circle.

But the former president of the Central Bank would have told them you need a plan, team and laws to back it up.

For some, an elegant form of denial due to the current situation of the Front of All makes it impossible to pass any legislation.

They said Redrado he wanted emergency legislation like the one that helped the Lavagna administration.

For Emmanuel Alvarez Agis, former deputy minister during Axel Kicillof, found out that they were actually the ones who sounded him from Casa Rosada.

It all happens when there are words of support from the President, even occasionally, for the minister to continue in office.

These days, Guzmán, far from vigilant, was presented with traders at a rally that started in Neuquén along with the CEOs and owners of major oil companies operating in Vaca Muerta, continued to Llao Llao de Bariloche with a red circle and it continues Thursday with a lunch at the Alvear hotel with the liberal Cicyp which brings together the UIA, the Stock Exchange, the banks, the Rural and the Chambers of Commerce and Construction.

Guzmán is active in the Energy area dependent on his ministry. Beside him they make sure he is working on a pharaonic sounding project and that indicates Argentina’s placement in the export of Liquefied Natural Gas.

In the minister’s view, along with the Vaca Muerta reserves, this is possible and some US $ 15 billion extra from exports will be generated.

Exactly, the emphasis he assigned to that area (yesterday he was with the leadership of the YPF) is what feeds another hypothesis: he will be preparing the ground to leave the Economy and becoming Minister of Energy. Tonight they denied it.

By the way, this is not the first time Guzmán has faced this kind of crisis, although it has had the greatest impact due to the insistence of Christian spokesmen to attack him and to Casa Rosada’s attempts to seek alternate. . Although for the President it means surrender.

Until now Guzmán was considered a mediator between the apparent war between the Kirchnerists and Alberto Fernández.

Emerging from the academy with a touch of silence and a tone of reconciliation, the minister sought understanding and tried to build a relationship with Cristina Kirchner.

Judging by what is seen, failure.

Also sought shelter in his strong ties with the Democratic Party in the United States, at the hands of Joseph Stiglitz, his mentor and the good chemistry with the head of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva and with the Pope.
