President Alberto Fernández once again asked for "unity" when he inaugurated this Friday a paint plant of the Volkswagen carmaker in the General Pacheco Industrial Center, in the north of Greater Buenos Aires.

"I celebrate this twice: I am seeing more investment, more work, better quality in production and more care for the environment. Volkswagen was at the bottom of the table, having a very bad time. We had to overcome that moment and it is very nice to hear how They did it:

the company managers agreed with the workers

and realized that they needed each other, "said the president. 

Accompanied by national officials, managers of the German capital company and Smata union authorities, the head of state insisted that Argentina "has not yet realized what it has achieved as a society" during the coronavirus pandemic.

"We did it because we were afraid of a pandemic. It was fear that brought us together. Now

we would have to realize what the unit is for and think about its importance not in the face of a virus, but in the face of the challenge of growth

, of development, to invest and provide work. Let's take advantage of that unity to make Argentina grow, "he added.

And he closed, along these lines: "We have to see how to strengthen the points of agreement and not those that differentiate us. That the unity that we knew how to forge due to the fear of a virus becomes eternal and helps us to grow. It is what it is necessary ".

According to the official agenda, Alberto Fernández will lead the ceremony at 12:30 p.m. in which the governors will sign the

2020 Fiscal Consensus

, at the Casa Rosada Bicentennial Museum.

The Fiscal Consensus consists of an agreement between the Nation and the provinces in which aspects related to the co-participation and the scheme of the different jurisdictions are contemplated.

In the afternoon, at 6.30 p.m., together with the Minister of Defense, Agustín Rossi, the Head of State will officially start the

Antarctic Summer Campaign 2020-2021

, at the foot of the ARA Almirante Irizar icebreaker, in the Buenos Aires Naval Station, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Retiro.

Weeks ago Rossi headed a meeting of the Antarctic Joint Command in which the actions for this new edition were reviewed.

The Government reported then that the summer campaign "will have as a challenge to fulfill the essential tasks of restocking the endowments and supplies, under strict sanitary measures in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic."
