The Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz, went out to cross this Friday with her counterpart from the Interior, Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro. It was after that the official expressed his dissatisfaction for not having been invited to a meeting between President Alberto Fernández and the recently inaugurated Lula da Silva, within the framework of the CELAC summit, this week.
“The lack of codes belongs to those who criticize being inside the Government”fired Tolosa, who occupies a key place in Fernández’s cabinet and was criticized for the suspension of 160,000 Potenciar Trabajo programs.
Tolosa Paz criticized Wado de Pedro and reopened the internship in the Government
“It is not very clear to me if it is an off-screen information from the minister or from his environment. If they were statements by the minister himself, I think it is a good time to clarify if it is a media transcendence, used for some purpose. It is a good time for Minister De Pedro to clarify whether this happened or not because they put in his mouth some situation such as lack of codes. If there is a lack of codes, in any case, it is in reference to who is part of a government and criticizes the government,” Tolosa Paz stressed.
The minister also considered: “We should learn to reflect. I question whether it is true. If it is not true, it must be clarified.. And if it is true, I clearly invite you to reflect on the lack of codes. In any case, those who are within the Government and criticize as if they were outside, must be defined. You’re either in or out.”
The minister compared the Government with the Argentine team
By way of questioning, reflection and a kind of self-criticism, Tolosa Paz opined: “We should learn from the ‘Scaloneta’ and the values of the Selection. They are to reflect on within a team and in this case the Government teamas we respect the person who drives it, who is the President of the Nation. It is necessary to define if you are inside or you are outside and if we do not feel content, we should take a step to the side, because that is what any good man or woman does”.
The former national deputy remains in Mar del Plata and from there gave statements to the local media. She also toured clubs and met the head of the National Disability Agency, Paula Martínez.
Wado de Pedro would have been upset with the President for not being considered for his meeting with Lula da Silva.
The Government will suspend 160,000 Potenciar Trabajo plans
One of the most questioned decisions of the portfolio managed by Tolosa Paz was the recent suspension of almost 160,000 Potenciar Trabajo plans. From the ministry they assured that it is about those who did not revalidate their personal data and extended the term to do so. However, the mobilizations appeared with slogans such as “160,000 dismissals”, “the Fund orders, Tolosa condemns” and other similar positions.
The demonstration, which took over the 9 de Julio avenue, took place this Wednesday, when left-wing social organizations grouped in the Piquetera Unit gathered to march to the Ministry of Social Development. They tried to meet with Tolosa Paz, but had no luck. Given the lack of response, they also blocked the metrobus laneswhich caused several delays in transit.
