Recently, Victoria Villarruel He moved to the Los Alerces National Park to accompany the brigade members in one of the areas of the incident that ruined thousands of hectares in Patagonia. That act left the president exposed Javier Milei, who not only did not travel to the affected Patagonian areas, but also shared on their networks an image made with artificial intelligence of the user Macarena Jimena in which she appears with firefighters in the middle of a controlled fire.
The journalistic portal La Política Online announced that the vice president’s attitude of going south in support of the rescue teams was not well received in Casa Rosada. “It was very bad that Villarruel was present in the South and that is why they denied him the helicopter that he requested from the Federal Emergency Agency in order to fly over the affected areas. That agency depends on the Ministry of National Security, in charge of Alejandra Monteolivathe delegate of Patricia Bullrich“, highlighted the medium.
Although the president of the Senate maintains a personal duel with the former Minister of Security and current senator of LLA, with whom she already had her first sparks in the Upper House a few weeks ago, spokespersons for Victoria Villarruel denied that the vice president has requested an aerial vehicle for that purpose. One more blow inside the ring between the two iron ladies of the libertarian universe.
Added to this episode, the Secretary of Communication, Javier Lanari, that responds to Manuel Adorni and the internal line commanded by Karina Milei, attacked Villarruel on social networks. “All the tools available to the State are intended exclusively to combat fire. They are not at the service of ‘high politics’. It seems untrue. But there are those who still do not understand it…” Lanari messaged.
The vice president counterattacked with a new post on her Javier Milei’s running mate, implying that part of the causes are failures in prevention by the officials responsible for National Security.
Focusing on the meager budget assigned to forest control personnel, Villarruel concluded: “Article 41 of our National Constitution enshrines the right to a healthy environment for all inhabitants as well as the obligation of the authorities to guarantee it and restore it when it is damaged. Our Patagonia is an asset of all Argentines and future generations and we should never skimp on its care and protection.”
He January 5 in the province of Chubutnear towns like Puerto Patriada, El Hoyo and Epuyénan incendiary outbreak spread in a few days, the flames affected established and native forests, a landscape that combines protected areas and rural areas. The most recent official figures estimate that more than 13,700 hectares They have been consumed by fires in different Patagonian areas, while other sectors remain active despite the efforts of hundreds of brigade members and firefighters deployed in the region.
The cause of the main focus is not yet confirmedalthough provincial and national investigations have pointed out the possibility that several of these outbreaks have been caused by intentional or negligent human actionso rewards were offered for information that would identify those responsible. In addition to this hypothesis, environmental experts warn that the drought, high temperatures and strong winds They increase the risk of fire spread, a very recurring problem in the region.
In this context, voices from environmental organizations denounce that the situation occurs at a time of strong political tension and budget cuts intended for fire management, which could weaken the operational capacity of brigades and services specialized in mitigation and prevention. Despite isolated rains that helped control some outbreaks, several fires remain active and the fight continues, with regional authorities warning of the risk of new outbreaks and possible long-lasting ecological impacts in a region of high biodiversity and tourist value.
