After months of keeping a low profile following his enormous electoral defeat, Sergio Massa, the worst Minister of Economy in the country's history, reappeared at the National Congress of the Renovating Front with a message full of cynicism.
The former Kirchnerist minister called for the unity of Peronism to "put limits" on the successful Government of Javier Milei, the same government that took office after the economic collapse left by his own administration.
From Parque Norte, surrounded by a disoriented militancy and without clear leadership, the former Minister of Economy avoided any kind of self-criticism and instead insisted on rebuilding an "alternative" that would return Kirchnerism to power.
In his intervention, Massa tried to present himself as the mediator of a coalition fragmented by internal disputes between Cristina Kirchner and Axel Kicillof.
"It's a year where we have the political responsibility to prioritize common sense without pettiness to build unity," he declared, without referring to the unprecedented economic crisis left by his tenure at the Ministry of Economy.
The contradiction in his speech was evident when he pointed out that the goal of Peronism is to "build an alternative that puts limits on this government." However, he didn't explain how he plans to achieve this after having been the architect of uncontrolled inflation.
As if that weren't enough, Massa ventured to predict electoral victories for his space: "We're going to win in the City, in the province, and in the Nation," he said, ignoring the disastrous results obtained by Unión por la Patria in the last elections and the lack of leadership facing the opposition.
