The numbers do not close to the government of scientists
.
This Thursday the number of poor people registered during the second semester of 2022 was known. According to data released by INDEC, 39.2% of the population lives in poverty, which represents some 11.5 million Argentines in large urban conglomerates.
A figure that for the country as a whole exceeds 18 million people.
39.2% have an owner:
Sergio Massa.
The second semester of 2022 coincides
almost exactly with the management
of the leader of the Renewal Front in the Ministry of Economy.
His predecessor,
the resigned Martín Guzmán
, had left him in the Palacio de Hacienda
three consecutive semesters of poverty with a downward trend.
The day that the La Plata economist warned on Twitter that he was leaving the ship fed up with the attacks of Cristina Kirchner, the first semester of 2022 concluded, in which poverty would be located
at 36.2%, almost three points below
that released this Thursday. .
The index released this Thursday marks
a return to poverty figures with an upward trend.
Accumulated inflation between January and February is 13.1%.
Private consultants forecast a figure close to 7% for March.
It means that
the poverty rate for the first semester of 2023, which will be announced in the middle of the presidential campaign
where an ultra-Christian sector still expects Sergio Massa to be the candidate of the Frente de Todos, would exceed the 39.2% revealed this Thursday.
The first poverty rate
during the government of
Alberto Fernández was 40.9%,
a figure justified by the
pandemic and
the economic downturn resulting from the
quarantine
.
The poverty index registered an increase of almost three points during the administration of Sergio Massa.

The following semester, the second of 2020, registered
the highest
poverty rate to date during the Fernández-Kirchner administration:
42%
.
Once again, the pandemic and the quarantine served as an argument to give explanations to the population.
In this period, from July to December, accumulated inflation was 18.4%, half that registered in the same period of 2022.
The loss of Martín Guzmán
We had to wait until the first half of 2021 to achieve a downward trend:
40.6%.
The then Minister of Economy Martín Guzmán would receive
better news in the second semester
since the INDEC measurement had also shown a lower number than the previous one:
37.3%
poverty.
Despite the fact that the hard numbers seemed to smile on the ruling party, Cristina Kirchner and her spokespersons from La Cámpora were already
beginning to lash out at Guzmán
.
It was a first semester of 2022 for the Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz crossed by political operations and the
officials under his orbit who did not respond to his orders
, but those of the Patria Institute.
When Martín Guzmán left the government, the poverty rate was 36.5%, the lowest registered during the government of Alberto Fernández.

When Guzmán slammed the
door on Twitter one Saturday
, in the middle of a speech where the vice president was in charge of reminding him that he was not wanted, the Prime Minister of the Economy Alberto Fernández
left a poverty rate of 36.5%,
the lowest
recorded until now during the government of the Frente de Todos.
Massa
landed in Economy
as the last resort
of a management that saw the abyss with soaring blue dollars, distrust of the market and an IMF demanding compliance with goals.
The former president of the Chamber of Deputies received this week
the first poverty report of his term
from him, that of the second semester of 2022, almost three points more than the one that Guzmán had left him.
In the same period,
inflation accumulated 36.9%
.
To the excuses of the pandemic, the Government
had already added that of the war between Russia and Ukraine
and a few months ago
it released that of the drought
.
The Tigrense will have a difficult task if he embarks on a presidential campaign with his own rising poverty numbers on his back.
