Minutes after the speech at the opening of the 2021 ordinary sessions, in which President Alberto Fernández buried his "anti-crack" profile, a call for a cacerolazo reappeared on the networks that began to feel

 strongly from 8:00 p.m. various neighborhoods in the City of Buenos Aires and various parts of the country

The noises of saucepans were felt from the balconies and in some corners.

There were also honks.

The neighborhoods where the protest was most felt were those in the northern corridor of the City of Buenos Aires: Recoleta, Palermo, Colegiales, Belgrano and Núñez.

There were also protests in Caballito.  

Alberto Fernández's speech, read as a loss of the nuances that differentiated him from the positions of his vice-president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and a radicalization towards the positions of tougher sectors of the Frente de Todos, was the seed for the protest.

It did not help that the President branded the demonstrations on Saturday as minors.

The move, which had been called under the slogan "It is enough, we say enough", comes after this weekend another protest against the Government had been held with thousands of people in front of the Casa Rosada repudiated the VIP vaccination.

The protest had already been predicted on Sunday by the former head of the Public Media System Hernán Lombardi, who on Sunday had anticipated that if Fernández did not make a self-criticism, there would be a cacerolazo.

"It should announce a profound change in its health structure, it should change the Minister of Health (Carla Vizzotti) and put in an impartial or independent minister," he said on that occasion.

And he added: "If he does not go down that path of learning, (the President) will have an unforgettable cacerolazo at 20, that is what will happen."

"You do not have to abuse the patience of the Argentines," he said.


Meanwhile, after the head of state's speech, the radical Mario Negri considered that Fernández's speech was "a flat message, loaded with uncertainty, low flying and with no future at all."

"Of course, he came to be applauded by announcing a criminal complaint for indebtedness against former President Macri", on Fernández's decision to file a complaint against the Government of Mauricio Macri for taking on debt during his tenure.
