“Carlos Menem insisted that politics is the art of the possible, but it is not the impossible. Perhaps the need to avoid shipwreck makes them act Alberto Fernandez and Cristina Kirchner. It’s crazy that they didn’t talk to each other, my 3-year-old son acts more mature,” he gets angry Paul Avellutothe former Minister of Culture of Mauricio Macriresponsible for the assembly of “First time“, the book on management in the presidency, and one of the men close to the founder of the PRO in his 2023 strategy.
“But I think a change for the better is impossible. The show that we attended throughout these months was already pre-announced at the end of 2019. It is difficult that if they spent 3 years insulting each other in the media, then they can do a project together. It was not necessary to be very lucid to realize that those who were going to govern us they publicly detested each other for years”, warns Avelluto about the relationship exhibited by the vice president and the president of the Nation.
“Argentina cannot tolerate another government of people who fight. We have experience in managing and resolving internal issues. Because one thing is criticism or debate, and another is to prevent the government from functioning as it has in these months. Of course in Together for Change We don’t all think the same, because it would be unrealistic, but I do believe that there is a deep sense of responsibility in relation to the fact that the government program is Together, regardless of who the candidate is. From one end of the block to the other there is a sense of responsibility and someone must stay with the flag of sanity in the middle of this madhouse”, Avelluto offers as an alternative.
“Each institutional collapse that Argentina had throughout its democratic history did not bring anything good, what we could have learned from history is that this is what institutions are for, and that when men and women make mistakes, they play a fundamental role. because they are the support so that we do not kill each other. Some believe that this is part of a kind of passivity on the part of the Argentine people, but for me it is wisdom. This government has already shown that it cannot or does not know, or worse, is not interested”, concludes the former Minister of Culture, an ideologue according to his own account, of the caravan that led Macri to recover after the PASO of 2019, and one of those who appear in the deed of the “Second period”.
“Everything that was more or less fine at the end of 2019 is wrong today, and everything that was wrong then is worse today. This includes any dimension of public life, be it culture, economics, politics, institutional functioning or the debate of ideas. These 2 years have been catastrophic because any of us could recognize, with a minimum of intellectual honesty, that the Argentine of 2019 had many difficulties but they were less than the ones she has today, and that it is less than the one she will have in the coming months for the political course we have”, he continues on his vision of the future that precedes the 2023 elections.
“If that could be considered by some as a scorched earth, as my successor says, I don’t know what I would call this. Today there is poorer, more inflation, more people leaving the countrythe products do not have prices, there is a shortage of items, people do not know what is expensive and what is cheap, it is a process that impacts the entire society regardless of the political or partisan identities that each one has. We’re swept away by a bunch of incompetents”, crossed his successor in office, Tristán Bauer, creator of the documentary “Tierra Arrasada”, which the Frente de Todos used as its motto in 2019.
“There is no person in Argentina who has spoken publicly saying that this is going to get better. In opinion columns or social networks, people believe that we are going to be worse off, and it is most likely. This already bounced after the pandemic and here we are, the best thing we can do is try to be all prudent and not pour gasoline on this fire. But the problem is that the firefighters don’t come,” he concluded. Paul Avelluto in in The Trigger (Delta 90.3).
