Patricia Bullrich, president of the PRO and former Minister of National Security in the management of Mauricio Macri, demanded this Sunday that Alberto Fernández

pronounce clearly

on the position of his administration in the face of the land seizures that are advancing in the country.

"The government must say which side it is on," he remarked.

For the former official, the possibility of a dialogue between Together for Change with the Executive is closed if the Government endorses "

the taking of the Etchevehere fields or lands in the South

or if Kicillof believes that the countries are a usurpation" .

And he added: "The Government must speak out, say which side of the counter it is on and affirm:

we are going to respect private property and the Constitution

."

If this is accomplished, Bullrich assured that the coalition that he is part of and that today is presented as the main opposition force will sit down to dialogue with the ruling party.

Apart from that claim, Bullrich went far beyond the land grab and spoke about the quarantine that lasted for more weeks and about the difficult economic situation in the country.

"

I would say to him: President, work as President,

" he emphasized in dialogue with CNN Radio.

"We all continue to lose every week. Now there are 15 more days of quarantine, without caring about life and work. He said it again in a terrible way. It scares us what is happening," he added. 

What the leader specifically demanded is that Alberto Fernández

"take charge"

of the Government and that "he have a plan and lead towards a solution" to alleviate the situation in the country.

In addition, he asked "respect for private property, which they want to destroy" and alluded to the "4 million unemployed" wondering "where are they going to look for work."

At the same time, he said that he refuses "to think that whoever is in favor of the eight-month quarantine can be a moderate" in another clear allusion to the president.

In this sense, he remarked that the Buenos Aires Head of Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, "has been the first to try to normalize the economy", that "the City of Buenos Aires already has an education" and criticized Axel Kicillof, of whom he said that

"He does not care about the future of the boys"

because the Province "does not open schools."

"There is a shortage of supplies and the dollar is through the roof. This hits the economy of small merchants. Nobody understands why Alberto Fernández extends the quarantine when

the country falls apart

. The Government is the producer of legal insecurity. There are thousands of businesses in debt or that are closing. And they have not been able to protect their health, "he added.

Alberto Fernández was the focus of Patricia Bullrich's criticism.

Regarding the possibility of next year's PASO being suspended, contemplated by the Government as a result of the coronavirus and the economic crisis, Bullrich stressed: "The electoral rules have to come out by consensus and require a special majority. We would propose is that the STEP be made only where there is competition between candidates of the same party for the same category. "

"Last year there were five candidates who did not compete with anyone in their space. With our proposal, it would be in a democratic way so as not to re-elect candidates through closed systems," justified Bullrich, ensuring that Together for Change would support the initiative if it is met. with one condition: "We will do it to the extent that there are other economic decisions at the same level."

Among those decisions, for her, should be to

reject the judicial reform

that "does not make sense" because it "represents a large expense."

"Let's get the judicial reform out of Parliament if the objective is not to spend money. If there is no STEP, let's think about a candidate selection system, as at the time was between (Carlos) Menem and (Antonio) Cafiero or between (Fernando) De la Rúa and Graciela Fernández Meijide, "he concluded.
