Juan Cabandié greets with a smile, said something about diet and excess weight. Walk around the desk in his office, fourth floor of the Legislature of Buenos Aires, and settles into a chair that is right under a large poster of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. The photo shows an early mobilization: a black and white image with the phrase "where are our grandchildren "in the foreground. Chief Kirchner block in the Legislature, Cabandié need not say anything about his past. Is the grandson retrieved number 77. His office, the 425 is one of the last floor. On the walls are posters honoring Nestor Kirchner. Leader of the Federal Capital Campora, deputy People's Meeting Victoria is one of the representatives of youth is bursting with key sponsorship of the president, on the areas of power of the ruling.
"Awareness of youth affairs is a gale of fresh air for our society," says Cabandié. It refers to the wave of participation that are verifying all fields Youth K: in college, in the district, cultural centers, unions. Encouraged, the legislator highlights the voluntary work that will begin in a few days to paint 1000 schools across the country. K bank chief, has Cabandié policy role in Buenos Aires. And it is closely monitoring the internal competition Kirchner's candidacy for mayor. In that bid are noted Senator Daniel Filmus and ministers and Boudou Taken.
"You can be sure the three-Cabandié with a mysterious air," because all three are in the race and may be candidates. We'll have to wait until March to get the decision Cristina on the nomination. Cristina is the head of the district. "
" In the last week appeared posters with the slogan "with Cristina transform the city," and the closing "Cabandié 2011." What these signs mean? Cristina
"That is the head of the district.
can we have a candidate.
In fact we have a candidate for mayor, and that is she who will decide who is going to be.
is summed up in that. It is also a message to society. Because we have great chances of winning the city thanks to the support they have Cristina in the Buenos Aires society. Today's positive image about 40% and is the have more intention to vote as a candidate for president.
The aim must be to ensure that our candidates are close to the numbers Cristina.
- Do you think that the candidates of the ruling must be more explicitly proclaim their status as Kirchner? -smart strategy for candidates who have, for defining Cristina, will be explicitly made by the Kirchner. Because, even today none of the three candidates Kirchner blush of the more explicitly make mention of Cristina and achievements at the national level, the more success we will have in the elections City of Buenos Aires.
- That you can not play against the ballottage? "No, because Macri has a negative image around 60%. Then, in the electoral variables you know that there is 60% of the population who do not want the head of government. It is an interesting fact, which would bring us closer to winning the ballottage.
-Progressivism ruled the city for several years. What do you think of the government of Anibal Ibarra and Jorge Telerman? -were efforts that were halfway. Did not elaborate what they had to go deeper, because not resolve structural conflicts. Neither had enough intelligence to manage for the set.
were governments with progressive speech efforts were not progressive.
Now our intention, by the strong possibility of governing the City, is building a national and popular discourse into concrete acts of management, achievements that have to do with the pressing issues in the district.
- What are those issues? -Solving the housing crisis, which the City is scandalous. Hospital infrastructure, effective management. Today we have specific difficulties in the inputs they need hospitals, poor school infrastructure.
And the level of broken sidewalks is scandalous?
"The macrismo could argue that these difficulties are due to opposition in the City not voted on Budget 2011. "No, because we are talking for later. Because there were three budgets: in 2008, 2009 and 2010, enough, with a record high of budget level and never had the City. However, despite having sufficient resources were not resolved these issues: health, housing, education, patching. Teatro Colon and the same delay in construction. Problems of inefficiency in management, infrastructure does not solve situations. Here I must say that in the City Buenos Aires no more works since joining the government. With no Macri works in the city.
And not just the housing shortage, but also the coastal highway, which remained pending, or material retardation of Maldonado stream relievers. In this work we have difficulties because the company was awarded the cousin of Mauricio Macri, Angelo Calcaterra.
And besides, he has accidentally killed someone and inefficiency, lack of control in this work. The victim is called Rodrigo Ojeda.
The budget proposed by the PRO did not address these situations, the most troubled of the City. And
favored more tax burden on citizens. Was invotable budget. And he further clarified that we, as a political force, in any form would have led to the national parliament a budget for such characteristics.
"In recent days rumors that you could be the candidate for deputy chief of government of the candidate who finished choosing Cristina. Is it so? "It would be risky now think of a government vicejefatura when we have not yet nominated a candidate.
-La Campora is gaining positions of power in government. At the very least, some sectors of the ruling critical slip and say the improvement is due to the toe of the president. What do you think? "The executive branch is headed by the president and she appoints all staff. The ministers were also appointed to toe.
Kirchner
"Youth is claimed as a collective actor, generational. How do you translate that to assume the role of official? What Cristina asked young people to assume management responsibilities? "What is happening with our generation Cristina responds to its political, but also constitutes a legacy of Néstor Kirchner.
What gives our generation, which provides the Cámpora, is a strong commitment to management, but also a strong commitment to political awareness, with the militancy. We can have a charge, but we never stop being members .-
