President Alberto Fernandez shared an act with Gildo Insfran, in Formosa, during the inauguration of a hospital. The national president claimed the national management and criticized, without mentioning it, the opposition. “We want a present State,” she said. And he demanded more federalism. “The first reflection that we have to do is if we live in an equal Argentina and the answer is no. We need an Argentina where the only privileged don’t be the judges” class=”com-link” data-reactroot=””>don’t be the judges”, he denounced.
He also highlighted the inflation data, “which showed a more encouraging figure”. “In this 40th year of democracy we have to agree on a development policy so that the Argentine great north ceases to be the periphery that they wanted to turn it into. We also have to do that work with Patagonia,” he said.
As part of his claim for greater federalism, he assured that he does not like the current Argentina “that was once designed” with “a rich center and impoverished peripheries to the north and south.”
Fernández crossed, in this sense, those who affirm that democracy “is a failure.” “They must not have relatives who have disappeared, been tortured, or exiled. They should not know it, but we do give value to democracy, ”he indicated. And he added: “Without difference of parties we have to encourage ourselves to build a strategy to develop an egalitarian country. We must all grow in solidarity, as the Pope already said “no one is saved alone”.
He also referred to the effects of the pandemic and those generated by the war in Ukraine. However, he noted that the Russian invasion may represent an opportunity for the country. “In the north is the lithium and copper that the world is demanding. There is also agricultural and livestock production, which is in demand as food, and the waterway, to get food out to the world”.
The president advocated a “strategic development policy” for the north and also called for turning the country into a “producer of meat and grains” into one of “food for human beings.” “Knowing the debts that democracy has, we have to make an egalitarian Argentina.” He asked that this strategy involve all parties.
Fernández thanked the Insfran’s invitation, praised his government actions and in particular his housing policy. He promised to return to the province to deliver houses that are part of a housing plan. “Long live Formosa! Long live Argentina!” He shouted. “And long live Perón!”, He closed to make room for the Peronist March.
Fernández’s act, this Thursday in Formosa, takes place one day following the president led the celebration of his three years of management at the head of the government. The hard kirchnerism, the governors and some officials, such as Sergio Massa, were not part of the game. Cristina Kirchner was absent with notice due to her coronavirus diagnosis.
Of the governors, only the president of Tucumán attended, Osvaldo Jaldoalways close to the chief of staff, Juan Manzur, with whom they make up the Peronist formula for the election to governor of that province, on May 14. Other referents of Christianity, such as the governor of Santa Cruz, Alice KirchnerThey did not say presents either.
The inflation data that the President highlighted this Thursday represents perhaps the greatest challenge of the Government. According to INDEC, the price increase was 4.9% in November and has already accumulated 92.4% in twelve months. That of the penultimate month of the year was the lowest monthly variation since last February.
The November measurement is given in a scenario in which the Government accumulates price agreements with different sectors, in the midst of a relative calm of the “free” dollars. There is a slowdown in the values of food. Although inflation slowed down, it is still at very high levels in comparison with countries with a stable macroeconomy.
