Former soccer player and coach Oscar Ruggericurrently a sports panelist, usually gives his point of view on the current situation of different topics, and this Friday he was outraged by the death of an Argentine in Bolivia.
“In Bolivia you did not see that an Argentine died, that they did not attend to him. Then we are fine, because we serve everyone. But remember eh, an Argentine died, remember. Then they call us brothers. Brothers? You see, we are all brothers. But within an hour, Dad, that poor man died. Those things make me sick because it’s not like that”, attacked the world champion in Mexico 86 on ESPN F90.
Along the same lines, he did not hide his annoyance and added: “They tell us everything: you are up there, you talk to us like that, you are arrogant, you tell us a lot of things when we go to play outside. Then we receive everyone, right? They go to the hospitals, everyone is treated and they bring their relatives, they treat everyone.”
“But look at this man who died. That should not be let go “continued outraged by the death of Salta tourist Alejandro Benítez, who died in Bolivia following suffering a traffic accident and was denied medical attention because he did not have dollars or Bolivian pesos.
Later he referred to the meeting that the president of the nation, Alberto Fernández, had together with Evo Morales -former boss of Bolivia- and did not forgive: “And those who say, excuse me… Evo Morales, what excuses? No, monster. And the family? He calls the family to apologize. What a crazy thing, that drives me crazy. Then they say that we are all the same, what all? You are crazy? Outside, walk with twine otherwise they won’t attend to you”.
Far from hiding his annoyance and indignation, El “Cabezón” went for more: “I watch the news and I get crazy. That’s it, I wanted to say it because I saw it the other day and it seemed crazy to me that things like that happen to us. That things like this happen when we are very open as a country, but well, that’s how I imagine it should be.”
