English translation:
on that side of the (political) divide
Spanish term
En esa avenida de la “grieta”
Hello! I'm translating the following news article about the "180-degree turn" that the Argentine Government (under Alberto Fernandez) made with regards to its relations with Venezuela:
Alberto Fernández dijo que extrañaba a Hugo Chávez y horas después Argentina se abstuvo de condenar abusos del régimen de Maduro en la OEA
https://www.clarin.com/mundo/oea-condeno-abusos-regimen-chav...
But I'm having trouble understanding the phrase "esa avenida de la “grieta”."
Here's the context:
"Alberto Fernández estuvo el viernes último en un diálogo virtual con el ex presidente Lula da Silva. Lo organizaron las mismas figuras de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales que lograron cancelar una charla del juez Sergio Moro, quien había enviado a la cárcel a Lula. **********En esa avenida de la “grieta”********** Alberto F. dijo sentir que gobernaba hoy en un continente con un único aliado, en México, por López Obrador. Dijo que se extrañaban los gobiernos de Néstor Kirchner, de Lula, de Hugo Chávez, de Evo Morales, de Rafael Correa, de Tabaré Vazquez, Pepe Mujica y Michelle Bachelet, entre otros."
Thanks in advance!

"La decisión oficial de abstenerse ante la reciente votación de la OEA (organización de estados americanos) que aprobó resolución que condone 'el continuo acoso ejercido por el régimen' contra las funciones que las leyes venezolanas le otorgaron la la Asamblea Nacional y contra el funcionamiento de los partidos políticos e instituciones democráticas en Venezuela - es una más de las posiciones que viene teniendo o esta cuarta edición de gobierno... El parlamento sigue detenido y Argentina no se ha pronunciado ni sobre estas ni otras detenciones posteriores."
"The official decision to abstain from the recent voting among the OEA (organisation of American states) which approved a resolution to cancel or delay 'the regime's continuous pursuit' against the objectives of Venezuelan laws passed on to the national assembly and against the functioning of the political parties and democratic institutions in Venezuela. It's one of the positions which holds the fourth term of government. .. The parliament continues to be delayed or detained and no one in Argentina has made a declaration on those or other subsequent delays."
Entiendo que quienes se abstienen de votar se quedan neutrales sin apoyar la postura de un grupo sobre otro.
I understand that those who abstain from voting remain neutral without supporting the stance of one group over another.
Lograron cancelar una charla del juez quien había enviado a alguien a la cárcel. En esa avenida de la grieta dijo sentir que gobernaba hoy en un continente con un único aliado y dijo que se extrañaban otros gobiernos.
They cancelled a chat with the judge who had sent someone to prison. In that spate (sudden outburst) of betrayal (broken promise) he claimed to aplogise that nowadays we're governed in a continent with only one ally, lacking in other governments.

Discussion
This has now been renewed by the recent election which brought Cristina back to power as vice-president. And Alberto Fernandez is continuing on the same "avenida de la grieta", again declaring his sympathy for Chavez, etc., because he can't survive as president without Cristina's suppport.
