The Together for Change opposition reacted harshly today in the middle of the speech made by Chief of Staff Agustín Rossi as part of the presentation of his first report on the progress of the administration in the Chamber of Deputies.
“They are far from reality, they live in Albertolandia, wrapped in a story and a constant lie,” said PRO bloc president Cristian Ritondo, recognizing to Rossi the difficulty of “coming to this in Congress.” to defend the government”.

“You have betrayed Argentines in a unique way and you have a unique face. You tell of a country where the majority of Argentines do not live,” he slammed.
According to Juntos por el Cambio’s pre-candidate for governor of Buenos Aires, “two out of three boys in the suburbs are poor, and only three out of ten graduate from high school.”
“Thanks to the waste, the uncontrolled spending, the printing press, today we have general annual inflation in excess of 100%. An Argentine family needs more than 168,000 pesos not to be poor. Those who have formal jobs are poor,” Ritondo said. about the social situation in the country.
And he added: “In short, they’re a populist government, they’re making a story and they have social insensitivity.”
Meanwhile, Ritondo recalled that President Alberto Fernández said during the election campaign that he had a strong commitment against drug trafficking.
“After almost four years in office, I think when it does that it hides it very much. Combating drug trafficking seriously is a political decision. And this failed government lacks the political attributes to end the scourge of insecurity. So the drug dealers do what they want,” he warned.
“I’m sure if we take care of this disaster that you leave us, you will return to history, you will throw stones at us again, but the truth is that we will no longer care because I think the mask has fallen off and the Argentines know who they are,” he challenged in an election key.
For his part, UCR bloc leader Mario Negri accused Rossi of appearing in the Chamber of Deputies to “give a post-truth masterclass”.

“He appealed to emotionality to convince his own, so they applauded him. But the reality is what we describe, even if they don’t like it and yell,” he said.
The radical warned that due to a lack of answers to the problems, there is “social weariness, anger, disbelief in all politics”.
“That’s why the Chief of Staff doesn’t want to talk about the present and invites us to talk about what happened 20 years ago. From the time the routes were cut and Moyano shut down the trucks. But we need to talk about what’s happening now. about which “They came to stock the fridge and bring the roast. But now there’s no Carrero stew. Scream, but that’s the truth,” the Cordovan continued.
For Negri, “besides the final destruction of the economy, they have also triggered a profound destruction of the credibility of the institutions”.
Miguel Bazze (UCR) denounced that “the chief of staff came to the chamber to lie and talk about everything but Argentina’s problems such as inflation, the economy and insecurity,” while the radical bloc’s parliamentary secretary, Soledad Carrizo, stated that she was “ashamed” after hearing Rossi’s account of management.
“It seems he doesn’t know why he came to Congress, rambling on over coffee-chat style on issues unrelated to the pressing needs of Argentines. Not a word about inflation, insecurity, health, pensions or education,” lamented the woman from Cordoba.
For her part, Pamela Verasay from Mendoza warned that Rossi gave no indication of a “government plan to respond to the Argentines” and limited himself only to “tell more stories about the parallel world in which Kirchnerism lives”.
“To get a report like this, it’s better not to get it. One asks and the answers are references to another question which, as one goes, is not what was consulted and there is no answer. Far from being a transparency tool, it “becomes a mockery,” laments.

Ricardo Buryaile (UCR) similarly claimed that “the Chief of Staff did not come to give a report on the state of the administration, as it should, given the serious situation in the country”, but “came to the Chamber of Deputies”. to make a false story with which he wants to hide the current problems that we Argentines are suffering”.
For Roxana Reyes, also a radical, Rossi’s account is “clearly another missed opportunity,” adding of the national official that “as a good Kirchnerist, he’s able to say anything to distract himself and try to shoulder his responsibilities to withdraw”.
The intervention of his counterpart Ximena García followed the same thread when he spoke of “a new missed opportunity to learn about Alberto Fernández’s government plan”.
“The chief of staff, Agustín Rossi, presented an empty report that does not eliminate the insecurity of Argentine citizens regarding inflation, corruption and insecurity. Kirchnerism has no direction,” the Santafesina started.
For his part, Pedro Galimberti (UCR) of Entre Ríos recalled that “during the 2019 election campaign, the Frente de Todos promised to stock the fridge and boost the economy”.
“Obviously, official data shows more than 40% poverty, 360% cumulative inflation, of which 390% is in food and drink. At the same time, the salary variation index gives an average of 290%, not to mention if we look at the informal sectors, with a loss of purchasing power, where the fridge is far from being full and is being emptied,” he questioned.
Jimena Latorre, on the other hand, said Rossi’s speech was more typical of a “base unit president” than a chief of staff.
“They don’t know how to do anything and can’t do anything but cover up their government’s disaster with the fantasies and populist specters of their own creation,” attacked the Mendoza woman. (N / A)
