In his visit to Villa La Angostura after concluding agreements with the Neuquén governor Omar Gutiérrez, President Alberto Fernández sent a message to those who indicate that he fell in love with isolation as the main tool to combat the coronavirus by ensuring that " no one can be happy in quarantine , but it is a sacrifice to be made. "
"To those who think that I fell in love with quarantine, I ask you to reflect , who can be happy in quarantine, nobody, but it is a sacrifice that must be made. Nobody believes that it is pleasant to have to restrict. It is very ungrateful, but when I do We are taking care of our lives and that of others, "he insisted on radio statements to LU5 in Neuquén.
He took advantage of the president and resumed that controversy over his comparison between Sweden and Norway. On that occasion, during one of the press conferences in which he extended the quarantine, he pointed out that for not having imposed restrictions, Sweden had suffered many more deaths than Norway.
"When I made the comment about Sweden, I was not questioning how it works, I was saying that it was more flexible and had the same economic results. The difference was lives, " said the head of state.
Fernández spoke a few minutes before having lunch a Patagonian lamb that, according to what they specified, roasted the Neuquén governor himself, whom the president praised despite belonging to different political spaces.
"At this point he is a friend, we have a very clear view of Argentina, that although we come from different parties we think Argentina the same," said Fernández.
The president emphasized that for him "the secret is to promote agreements and not to promote disagreements," and he put the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, on the same list: " With him I can work very well too, " he said.
For the president "it cannot be that a governor who is not of the political color that governs is postponed," and he took up the example of Gildo Insfrán in Formosa, whom I visited last week.
"In Formosa there were 30 kilometers left to build a gas pipeline when Cristina (Kirchner) left, but they did not do so because the governor was of another political color. Who is hurting life, the governor or the people?" .
