Former Interior Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno on Wednesday compared
the national government's
popular cuts of beef
project
to the
"Mazzorín chickens",
referring to the scandalous importation of chickens in poor condition during the Alfonsinism executed by the official
Ricardo Mazzorín.
Alfonsín's former Secretary of Internal Trade was accused of
importing tons of chicken in poor condition from Hungary.
It was a scandal and Mazzorín had to resign.
The Animal Health Service (Senasa) declared that they were not suitable for consumption.
The cost of that import was about 50 million dollars.
"Now what is being said on the street is that Alberto's (Fernández) barbecue, you saw that barbecue he took out, are Ricardo Mazzorín's chickens.
Yes, it's the same
," Moreno said in dialogue with
A24.
The national government reported at the end of January that
10 cuts of beef would be offered on weekends and the first 3 Wednesdays of each month
with discounts of up to 30% compared to the prices in force in December.
, according to the agreement reached between the Government and the exporting refrigerators.
It was announced by the Ministers of Productive Development, Matías Kulfas, and of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Luis Basterra, together with the Secretary of Domestic Trade, Paula Español, and the president of the ABC consortium, Mario Ravettino.
In the days following the announcement, some of these products went viral on social networks and
The outrage
of the users for the state and the quality of the food
soared
.
In the first week of validity, 700,000 kilos of the cuts offered in supermarkets throughout the country were sold, out of the 6 million kilos of stock.
The barbecue cuts were the most requested (strip roast, vacuum, asado cover, matambre and skirt) and
strip roast was at the top, concentrating 25% of sales.
Moreno, on the other hand, left strong definitions against Alberto Fernández.
He said, for example, that he is not "fit" to govern:
"This is a pure Alberto Fernández, I know him, they threw him out of the Government, he is not suitable
. In addition, Nestor (Kirchner) did not need any head of Cabinet and Cristina (Fernández ) neither".
For Moreno, the "only ones who did not fail" were the Peronists, clarifying that Fernández's administration is not Peronist: "
When a President messes with the retirees ... you no longer have anything from Perón
. This also goes to Cristina because it's a decision she made. "
Finally, he said that he comes from meeting with the Rural Society and talking with Peronist leaders in the face of the legislative elections in October, among them with Florencio Randazzo.
He summarized:
"We Peronists are smelling like stray dogs."
