The deputy head of the Buenos Aires Government, Diego Santilli, affirmed this Monday that Alberto Fernández's phrase about the "opulence" of the City of Buenos Aires"does not add"and he replied that the Capital "has managed to manage."
"It seems to me that it does not add up . There is something I want to clarify: Buenos Aires is a very supportive city. It produces a lot, a lot more than what it receives through co-participation and serves many people who are not from our community in its public health and education system city ", raised Santilli.
In dialogue with radio Miter , the Buenos Aires official added that "in a normal day of pre-Covid-19 health care, 50 percent of the patients were not from the City; and 30 percent of the hospitalization" also corresponded to neighbors from other districts.
"Buenos Aires has known how to administer and returned to its neighbors in the form of services the taxes they have paid with so much effort. What we have to do in the country is level up. If there are important things in Buenos Aires, take them to the rest of the world. We also did it when we saw interesting things in Mendoza or Entre Ríos, "he said.
Last Friday, after a week of tension in the relationship between the Casa Rosada and the government of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Alberto Fernández participated in an event in Santa Fe and pointed out: "Buenos Aires is a city that fills us with guilt for seeing it so opulent , so beautiful, so unequal and unfair with the rest of the country . We were only able to build inequality and individualism. "
The new openings
On the other hand, Santilli explained that starting this Monday "almost 1,800" bars and restaurants that have tables and chairs on the sidewalks will be able to receive customers, by taking "one more step in gastronomy."
"It is a sector that employs many people and needs to recover. I understand that it is not enough, but it is one more step," he said.
The official also stressed that social gatherings in parks and other outdoor spaces were also enabled: "You will be able to sit down to drink mate, chat and dialogue doing it quietly. We have not authorized meetings in patios and terraces because in the houses there are a much greater risk of contagion. There is the debate. We are going to talk about it today with (Fernán, the Buenos Aires Minister of Health) Quirós and we will define ".
Asked about the epidemiological situation of the City, the deputy chief said that "it is still with a high case curve, but close to a downward inflection point."
"Not at a time when we can continue to open. The R is in one, but there were days that it was below one and that is marking that we are reaching a downward break . Despite adding activities, the curve is not shot, "he closed.
