"Argentina did better with the coronavirus than with the government of Mauricio Macri," Alberto Fernández said this Sunday and aroused the anger of almost all the opposition. Patricia Bullrich, president of the PRO; Jorge Macri, cousin of the former president and current mayor of Vicente López, and the deputy Cristian Ritondo expressed their disagreement with the phrase and came to the intersection of the president's sayings.

"I cannot believe that the President of the Nation, in the midst of this drama, with the deaths in Argentina, with the companies destroyed, with a million workers on the street and with many others that we do not know if they will charge the 20, 30 percent of salary, come out to compare that this is less drama than our Government, "Bullrich sentenced.

He already added: "It is a lack of respect; it saddens me very much that a President says such a barbarism and has so little empathy with the people that he has led to this terrible situation more than five months ago."

Meanwhile, the current communal head of Vicente López referred to that phrase from the president as "a sad comparison that lacks the truth." And he assured that "Argentina needs honest diagnoses and a lot of work together."

"Dead, sick, anguish, fear. That is the Coronavirus. This is not a time for Chicanas, Mr. President. A sad comparison that lacks the truth. Argentina needs honest diagnoses and a lot of work together," wrote Jorge Macri on his Twitter account.

Earlier this Sunday, Alberto Fernández had said that phrase about a question about the economy and industrial activity in the country in dialogue with Radio 10 : "If we review the first five months of Argentina in 2020 in labor terms As a result of the ATP and all the measures such as the prohibition of dismissals and the double compensation, Argentina did better with the coronavirus than with the government of Mauricio Macri. "

"Sustaining the crack, confrontation and partisanship with the Pandemic is not the way. Please reconsider ," Jorge Macri later asked in another message.

Last week, the Juntos por el Cambio official had also criticized on the networks the putting on the agenda of judicial reform in times of pandemic. In his message he attached his party's request for the President to withdraw the bill.

"The priorities of the Argentine agenda are clear. Health, work and security. It is not one or the other. What is surely NOT a priority is to treat a judicial reform to the runs," he said.

The man who runs the administration of Vicente López comes from several intersections with Peronism, with a focus on restrictions and security, after several months of cordiality and joint work with the national and provincial governments.

Who also added to the rejection of the President's phrase was Cristian Ritondo, national deputy for the Province of Buenos Aires.

"This year could not be better than any other that we have lived in a democracy. We have already killed 6,947 Argentines. There are comparisons that cause deep pain. In his eagerness to attack the opposition, the president forgot about the thousands of families who lost to a loved one, "he wrote.

And he retrucó: "To the pain of the thousands of families that cannot even fire their dead, is added that of retirees and wage earners who must live with the lowest levels of income in the last 15 years."

For his part, the national deputy and vice president of the PRO, Federico Angelini , assured that the President's statements "represent a mockery for all Argentines." "Why don't you ask the Argentine families of the 7,000 fatalities that the coronavirus has claimed in the country, President, if we are better?" The legislator fired.

That he continued to question Alberto Fernández: "Why don't you ask the hundreds of thousands of unemployed that the isolation generated and the tens of thousands of SMEs that had to close in these 5 months if we are better?"

"The truth is that this level of cynicism, to which several leaders of Kirchnerism have accustomed us, we did not expect it from the President because he knows very well that in the short time he has been in office, unemployment and poverty have already increased, and in health, we are already among the 10 countries with the highest number of infections, even implementing one of the longest quarantines in the world, "Angelini lamented.
