The decision is ripe Many referents of everyone’s front are inevitable. The Minister of Social Development Juan Zabaleta, He would leave his post National Cabinet to return to the administration in the coming weeks Hurlinghamwhere it is licensed.

Zabaleta You have to protect your land. Of all the mayors who have ascended to another position, he is the only one who hasn’t left a kidney in his small paycheck. That’s because in closing the 2021 lists, he avoided war Campora instead A questionable political agreement Which led to Hurlingham Council President and Maximo Kirchner Group member, Damian Seltz, He will temporarily remain at the head of the district.

But “Orga” always tried to challenge Zabaleta’s power And tensions have escalated recently. “The boys did not understand this administration It’s verified by votes.”, said a man from the suburbs who knows the conflict well. Surveys are given to the minister 75% approval in Hurlingham, And that’s political capital to defend, especially as Kirchnerism regains central power and Alberto Fernández’s path to re-election grows narrower and narrower.

In front of the versions, near Zabaleta, they assured that the official continues to “work in the Ministry and is dedicated to resolving the conflict with the picketers” who are currently camped in 9 de Julio. He was able to find out the details of his departure and transition to a replacement ღ, has not yet been closed at a high political level. That is, together Alberto Fernandez i Christina Kirchner, who recently added Zabaleta to the interlocutor. But some in the government believe the situation cannot continue for many more weeks. It’s about October.

Social development has a hot schedule ahead. “It would be good to have it before December because it is the high season for social development. And whoever comes in must have a tidy mold and time to fulfill their duties,” reflects an official who is aware of the task that this national portfolio entails.

Everyone in the government expects Zabaleta to make his speech in order. Several names are already being floated in PJ to replace him. “It must be someone weighing in the suburbs,” the official said in the last few hours. Ariel Sujarchuk, which accompanies the masses in the field of the knowledge economy, sounds the loudest, although the offer is not yet official. A natural name, because he held a “relative” position before becoming a deputy, is he Victory Tolosa Paz. But many find it nearly impossible to make the jump to the executive branch. The other option, always latent, is that social development remains in the hands of La Campora. Maximo Kirchner He already said once that he did not intend to leave the Buenos Aires cabinet of Andres Laroque – who holds the same position in the province. Camp Laura Alonso He is currently the official representative of the portfolio.

“Xuanchi”, as everyone at PJ calls him, knows that the next stage will find him Hurlingham. He’s not the only mayor using a license that could pay him back a small amount of money before the 2023 election season. This is a similar case for the owner of Vivenda y Hábitat. Jorge Ferrarese, which today is actively working on the electoral armament of Kirchnerism. But the case of Zabaleta is different because of the presence of La Campora in the municipality.

His political role

Zabaleta is one of the mayors who joined the cabinet to streamline management in the middle of the midterm election process. already was Gabriel Katopodis (Public Works)San Martin and FerrareseAvellaneda. The Hurlingham man was once the engine of “Albertism” and tried to form an armed group in the province of Buenos Aires. But Fernandes gave Maximo Kirchner the lead Buenos Aires PJ and eliminated any possibility of a power struggle from Kirchnerism.

Ბevre “Albertists” were powerless before this scenario: The president never ended up giving them permission to With the idea that he did not want to break up with Christina Kirchner. Even when she hasn’t spoken to the vice president in months, Fernandez has dealt with political uncertainty and anxiety of her own. Out of June Martin Guzman This road of the Ministry of Economy was finally closed.

Zabaleta is one of those who felt this political influence. Now, while Kirchnerism is reorganizing after the assassination attempt on Cristina Kirchner and Massa is trying to position itself for economic turmoil by 2023, President Fernández’s path is getting narrower.

Meanwhile, Zabaleta is wearing heavy everyday wear in the chair. In addition to the camps of left-wing groups, he recently gave the opposite With a drop of 40,000 plan to strengthen labor after strong domestic pressure. In addition, it controls audits Which started at the top of the 1.2 million plan, which concerns not only the official social organizations – including the Evita Movement and the MTE. John Grabois– but those who control the left.

Added to this was a reserved meeting with Maximo Kirchner Aemilius the Persian, the head of Evita, who maintains a strong political weight in the social area of ​​the government, raised the alarm in Zabaleta’s office. And this is not the least: the minister does not have a good relationship with Persico, but until now he had a natural enmity of Kirchnerism with the Evita movement, which has a long history.

Thus, Zabaleta is squeezed by a set of tweezers: Maximo and La Campora want to ‘remove’ him from Hurlingham to stay with the Mayor; Persico tries to make peace with his firstborn after his mother’s attempted murder; The president has no plans for re-election. Ultimately, noHe has never stopped doing local politics and visits his municipality every weekend.
