At the close of his tour of the United States, the President remarked that in his head he only analyzes “how to move forward with the problems that exist, which are many and are getting worse every day.”
President Alberto Fernández assured that he is not thinking “neither of the PASO, nor of re-elections” in the face of 2023 and remarked that in his head he only analyzes “how to carry out the problems that exist, which are many, and every day they get worse “.
At the end of his tour of the United States, the president gave a press conference last Wednesday in which he was asked about the proposals regarding the possibility of eliminating the Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory elections (PASO), an issue that the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, recognized that it is being debated.
“It’s like Axel said, it’s an open debate. You talk about the debate all day, so it’s an open debate, impossible to stop, but the truth is that quite frankly I don’t want to comment on that, because the truth is that my head is on other problems,” said the head of state.
And he added: “I’m not thinking about the STEPS, or re-elections, or what the political and personal situation is, or that of my political space. I’m thinking about how to move forward with the problems we have, which are many and all days get worse, because the world is getting more difficult every day”.
To conclude, Fernández insisted that “it is a debate that has been opened, but we have to see how it evolves.” “The truth is that I have other priorities today,” the President reiterated.
Several provinces advanced in the elimination of the PASO by 2023, a measure that generated the strong rejection of Together for Change.
