Eight months later: What is the Government of Alberto Fernández?

CADAL organized a virtual version via Zoom platform of the first meeting of the year of Foro Latinoamericano Buenos Aires, a cycle of political analysis of the organization’s Transformation Monitoring project. In this opportunity, Carlos Fara analyzed the administration style of Argentine President Alberto Fernández, as well as his relationship with Cristina Kirchner and the public opinion, the management of the pandemic, the opposition dilemma, and the external front: Argentina and the world.

According to Carlos Fara, Alberto Fernández is nobody's President today: he arrived as a tightrope walker, but he is more of a fireman; he adopted Néstor Kirchner’s model, but he is no ‘Néstor’; and he has a mediocre management, with a red-hot external front, he lacks strength in his own team, he doesn't have strong political spokespersons and there is a lot of lack of coordination between areas. For the political consultant and Vice President of CADAL, Fernández has a commitment with Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner regarding the judicial issue and he is not a character of ruptures: that is why there will be no ‘Albertism’ in Argentina.
