Luana Volnovich, head of PAMI, criticized this Sunday the mobilization called for this Monday, August 17, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. "If someone called my mother to a march, they would kill him," he said.
"Nobody has to leave their house, that is the recommendation that I make with my father, my mother and my son. I do not speak only from my position as an official," said the leader of the Frente de Todos in dialogue with FM Milenium. And he put his mother as an example: "If someone called my mother to a march, they killed him. Play with my mother's health, no way ."
In this regard, he stated that "anyone who calls an instance that puts any person at risk" would be doing "crazy."
In turn, he returned to speak of the controversial phrase of the President, who last week said that the City was not being able to care for the elderly in its hospitals and that is why they were migrating to the Province. And he assured that "it was not a Chicana", but "a fact of reality." But he admitted that "the City came out to defend itself as if it had been a criticism of the public health system" when in fact "it was not."
A tour that Fernando Gray and Luana Volnovich made in January at the Hospital del Bicentenario.
On this issue, he replied to Graciela Ocaña, who assured that this controversy was a political use to harm Horacio Rodríguez Larreta: "Ocaña has no idea what he says lately, he speaks without information and it is a shame. With the PRO officials , from Cambiemos, who are in government responsibility and who know they have to save lives, we coordinate. With those who are at home in slippers, no, "he shot.
"When they speak without information, with rude things, do not count on me," added Volnovich, who before taking his place in PAMI was a national deputy for the province of Buenos Aires.
For Larreta, likewise, he had a criticism when referring to the controversial measure that his administration had taken to prohibit the elderly from leaving the street, with which he finally backed down.
"The intention was good, but in that strong ending there was a certain underestimation that older adults could not make decisions about their own care, there was discrimination, " he said. And he continued: "The articulation was discriminatory and violent."
In addition, he said that "a kid who is 20 years old and has diabetes is as risky as my dad and that kid has the full capacity to go out."
The president, Alberto Fernández, together with the head of PAMI, Luana Volnovich.
"There was a discrimination to believe that there is a sector of society that does not have the capacity. Old age is like machismo, there is a society that treats them badly for being old, and we have to improve it as a society. I think that the Larreta government fell into oldism, "he concluded.
Finally, he slipped that "older adults are not an expense, they are not a waste, they are a responsibility of the State" and that "there is a decision to assist this most vulnerable sector." He also confirmed that "drug prices will be frozen in PAMI until October 31" after an agreement between the Government and the national and international industry.
