With a strong political tone, during his speech, the president dedicated several paragraphs to criticize the former president Mauricio Macri. So he said today that it “hurts” to hear his predecessor say that his word “is not valid.” In a campaign tone, he said: “I complied. The one who left people hungry is called Macri”.
“I did not promise you the revolution of joy”expressed the head of state and remarked: “The one who promised them the revolution of joy closed 23 thousand SMEs.”
The Head of State was accompanied by the Minister of Territorial Development and Habitat, santiago maggiottiand delivered 178 homes that required an investment of 1,860 million pesos from the national government and are part of the urban developments of the national program Procrear I of Estación Sáenz and Estación Buenos Aires.
In a direct message to Macri, President Alberto Fernández said: “Peronists know that better than saying is working. I have the peace of mind that in my government we never use Justice to persecute anyone “he pointed.
The president compared the results of his government administration with those obtained by the Cambiemos administration (2015-2019), affirmed that Argentina is now “better” that when he arrived at the Casa Rosada and maintained that “the one who left hungry people is called (Mauricio) Macri.” Fernández highlighted the advances in social, economic and institutional matters during his administration, such as the recovery of wages, the gradual decline in the inflation rate in recent months.
In this context, he stressed that in his government “we began to recover the salary that fell by more than 20 percent in the Macri government.” In a direct message to the opposition referent, the president said that “peronists know that better than saying is working,” adding that in his government “freedom is absolute.”
“For us, you are the only ones that concern us. I have the peace of mind that in my government we never use the Justice to persecute anyone,” he said, responding to recent statements by the former president.
And to mark more differences with his predecessor, he maintained that he would never be encouraged “to say that human rights are a gig in a country that has had 30,000 disappeared”, in reference to a sentence of the founder of the PRO in that sense. “One of the most pleasant moments that I have as President is the delivery of homes because it is a human right to have one’s own roof,” he said, adding: “When we hand over those keys, we know that we are guaranteeing a future.”
He also highlighted the creation of “more than 1.5 jobs” during his tenure and a drop in the inflation rate “to half of what Macri left it.” Immediately afterwards, he remarked that today there are “21 provinces where unemployment is low” and that Argentina is “after China, the economy that grew the most in the world.” “Do you know where unemployment does not drop? In the city of Buenos Aires. I’m not saying it, the statistics say it,” he completed.
Regarding the end of his speech, Fernández lashed out at the “usual doomsayers” who predicted a catastrophic end for this year” and stated that, on the contrary, “we ended this year in addition to celebrating the World Cup, with social tranquility”. “I feel that the Argentina of today is much better than the Argentina that I received in 2019”He said and closed: “The only frustrating thing was the president we had”in clear reference to Macri.
