Former President Mauricio Macri wrote a message on Twitter this Monday amid the protests on October 12 in different parts of the country against the government of Alberto Fernández.
"Dear Argentines: the growing peaceful mobilizations, the courage and the conviction of the people who accompany them, are the demonstration that despite our current problems we have to be very optimistic about our future," said the former president.
The message reaped thousands of repercussions in a few minutes, among those who supported its message during the mobilizations and those who repudiated it.

In addition to this short message, Macri will give an interview on Monday on the Todo Noticias (TN) channel, in which he is expected to talk about the mobilizations.
It will be at 22, in "Desde el llano", the program that Joaquín Morales Solá leads.
This is the first interview that the former president provides to an Argentine media since his departure from the Government.
Last July, Macri had reappeared after a few months of silence with
a note recorded with Álvaro Vargas Llosa
and, as the months went by, he was raising his profile.
Last weekend, when closing a virtual summit of referents of Together for Change, the former head of state had renewed his criticism against the continuity of the quarantine against the coronavirus and claimed to continue "fighting to return to normalize the country."
“I ask everyone to continue fighting to return to normalize the country.
We need to circulate freely in Argentina again, to work, to go to hospitals to care for us, to educate our children, to trade.
This is not healthy, this eternal quarantine has done us a lot of damage and we have to normalize the country as soon as possible, "he said.
