He also elaborated on the worrying social situation and the Poverty indices. He even went so far as to forecast an unfavorable scenario for the next Government.
“It will take a long time. The government that between 4 years is not going to do anything. We are going to suffer a lot… Hopefully I’m wrong, that in two years, one year, we can see some improvement. I hope that we, who are responsible for the soup kitchens, don’t have to go on television to ask for food,” the leader said on the radio program.
Barrientos on the looting: “We run the risk of being entered into the dining room”

“Before there were not so many people sleeping in the street, women and children pulling cars…”Barrientos graphed.
“Yesterday we were very scared and very worried because the word was spreading that they were going to enter the Indoamericano Park,” Barrientos explained in the radio interview.
“People are very nervous. We even run the risk of being entered into the dining room, just as it happened in the villa 11-1-14, in Bajo Flores, fighting between neighbors. Before there weren’t so many people sleeping on the street or pulling a car along with their mother, it’s very sad.”
