He was persuaded to run as a stand-in candidate (who, after the election, would cede his new seat to a down-ticket name on the party list) for the ruling Front for Victory (FpV) ahead of the June 2009 mid-term elections. Massa, however, enlisted his own candidates – including his wife – for Tigre City Council under his own ticket, and its success in these city council races distanced him from others in the FpV. Massa had, moreover, harbored differences with the president over a number of policies, including the nationalization of loss-producing private pension funds, the use of the INDEC bureau to understate inflation data, and the vast regulatory powers granted to Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno. Following the FpV’s narrow defeat in the Lower House mid-term races, Massa tendered his resignation to the President, effective July 7. Massa, who appointed the city council president as provisional mayor while he served as the president’s cabinet chief, returned to his office of Mayor of Tigre on July 24. He was investigated along with other officials for the illegal retention of “repayments” of nonexistent loans from the pensions of about 17 thousand retired while he was director of the ANSES
In 2010 Massa joined a group of eight Buenos Aires Province mayors in calling for the establishment of local police departments independent of the Provincial Police; this ‘Group of 8’ had become disaffected to varying degrees with the Kirchner government, and came to view Massa as presidential timber for a future date. He stumbled into controversy, however, when the WikiLeaks disclosures of 2010 mentioned a number of indiscretions on Massa’s part during a dinner hosted the previous year at the U.S. Ambassador’s Residence. He was said by one of Ambassador Vilma Socorro Martínez’s cables to have revealed details about working with former President Néstor Kirchner, stating that he was “a psychopath; a monster whose bully approach to politics shows his sense of inferiority.” He reportedly added that the former president “runs the Argentine government” while his wife (the President) “followed orders,” and that she “would be better off without him.” He nevertheless remained allied as a member of the FpV faction and the Cristina Kirchner administration, and was re-elected mayor on the FpV slate with 73% of the vote in 2011.
