Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has made the decision to take a step back in her political strategy in the province of Buenos Aires. This move can be seen as a gesture of rapprochement towards the mayors of Peronism, who until now had been reluctant to collaborate with her.
The former president, by ceding ground to Governor Axel Kicillof, has chosen to be a municipal candidate in the Third Electoral Section, which would strengthen her position and that of the territorial leaders in the area. Despite this decision, Cristina continues to maintain her presence on the political scene as a candidate for a national deputy in the separated elections in the province.
"Lose to win" could be the slogan behind this strategic move. From the Patria Institute and with the influence of Sergio Massa, an agreement has been reached that aims to avoid divisions within provincial Peronism and ensure some unity in the face of the elections.
Although this change in direction has been interpreted as a surrender to Kicillof, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner remains a relevant figure in Buenos Aires politics. It is important to highlight that this strategic turn aims to consolidate alliances and secure support from various sectors for the upcoming elections.
Ultimately, the former president has opted for a tactic of "one step back, two forward," following the doctrine of Von Clausewitz. Despite mixed opinions and internal tensions, Cristina continues to be a key player on the political chessboard of the province of Buenos Aires.
