Following Cristina and Kicillof's conversation, Massa begins his campaign and visits various municipalities.
Spilling the Tea on Sergio Massa's Political Strategy
The cat's out of the bag, y'all! Argentine politico Sergio Massa's next move might be a gamechanger, and folks are buzzing about it. Recently, Massa cornered his fellow mayors from the Renewal Front in Chascomús for a chat. The agenda? Evaluating his own candidacy, apparently![1]
Could Massa step into the ring for the deputy position in the third electoral section, as former President Cristina Kirchner did? Or will he take a swing at another opportunity? Rumor has it that two mayors from the first section floated the idea of Massa running for provincial senator in that region[2]. But fear not, Massa's crew insists that he's not set on any one thing just yet: it's just a friendly catch-up, as usual[2].
The meeting—which went down in a fifths zone, complete with a post-asado discussion—saw Massa mingling with his mates from the Renewal Front and some buddy-buddy mayors[3]. Was Massa's deputy bid discussed? Perhaps, but it seems that it was just a fleeting mention, as the primary focus was mentioning a future tour spanning all eight electoral regions[3]. Massa's got a full schedule ahead, with 16 visits planned. Find out what's cookin' at the Renewal Front congress, set for the first week of July[3].
And speaking of label-crunching, the Renewal Front's roster is quite the lineup: from Carlos Bevilacqua (Action for Villarino) and Matias Nebot (Todos por Saavedra), to a whole batch of other mayors[3].
Aside from the election shenanigans, the gabfest covered a few other juicy topics, like the drop in federal coparticipation and a security prevention project with fresh technologies[3].
Keep your eyes peeled, politics mavens! This one's just getting started.
