Argentine President Alberto Fernández does not speak with his vice president, Cristina Kirchner. The last time they physically met was on March , at the opening ceremony of the parliamentary course, where they were seen uncomfortable. The vice president did not even respond to a couple of messages written on March that Alberto Fernández sent her, as confirmed by the presidential spokesperson, Gabriela Cerruti. Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero admitted that it would be foolish to ignore the critical political moment that the political space that came to the presidency a little more than two years ago is going through, as a result of the reunification of Peronism.

The deterioration accelerated since last November, when the government suffered a serious defeat in the parliamentary elections , in which it lost million votes compared to the general elections two Cabo Verde Email List years earlier. Cristina Kirchner, who was the one who devised the presidential formula, knowing that if she headed the candidacy it would fail, she had been closely monitoring the president, but with the electoral result she exploded. Not only did she blame him for the failure, but she imposed a change of government that the president did not want and that forced him to get rid of people in his strictest confidence. But the last straw was the negotiation with the International Monetary Fund to refinance the debt taken on by Mauricio Macri's government.



The agreement prevented Argentina from falling, once again, into suspension of payments, but negotiating with the IMF and accepting that important adjustments will have to be made in the economy goes against the Kirchnerism narrative. It is like lowering flags that are part of their political capital. Therefore, Kirchnerist deputies and senators voted against or abstained. On the contrary, the opposition of Together for Change (macrismo), voted in favor of the agreement, allowing its approval. Cristina's son, Máximo Kirchner, had already resigned as head of the block of pro-government deputies and was one of those who voted against the agreement.
