The phrase remained in history, but not as what it was intended to be, but on the contrary.
"Argentina is doomed to success,"
said former President Eduardo Duhalde, and reality has been in charge of denying it time and time again.
Or to demonstrate, in any case,
how the country insists on systematically appealing that conviction
with a fervor worthy of a better cause.
While the Minister of Economy Martín Guzmán renegotiates in Washington with the International Monetary Fund, Cristina Kirchner, at the time vice president of the same government that the minister represents, stands in front of her acolytes in the Buenos Aires Las Flores and, attending to the domestic front, releases: “You cannot pay the debt.
We don't have the money to pay it ”.
Simultaneously, Alberto Fernández, president of the same Executive that Guzmán and Cristina make up, assures the head of the World Bank of Argentina's willingness to pay its debts and fulfill its commitments.
Of course,
four days later, like a good disciple, in a radio interview he agrees with the other Fernández of the formula
.
Of course: we continue to wait for investors to fall like manna from heaven, and we wonder why there are companies that end up leaving the country.
Given the context, it would sometimes be more difficult to understand why they stay.
Hours more, hours less than the act of Las Flores, that same March 24, which marked the 45th anniversary of the bloodiest military coup here, the Foreign Ministry announces that
Argentina
- in line with the wishes of Cristina Kirchner - is
leaving the Lima Group, in a clear approach to Maduro's Venezuela
and its human rights violations detailed in detail in the report by Michelle Bachelet, United Nations High Commissioner.
Curious or not, - after all it is Argentina 2020-2021-,
the government of Fernández (Alberto) had supported the document presented by the former Chilean president.
Days before, reality had given another postcard worth treasuring.
With an attitude of rapture, in a ceremony in Lanús, officials of the highest level, -the President of the Nation, the Minister of Health of the Nation, the governor and the vice-governor of the province of Buenos Aires, the Minister of Health of that district, and the Minister of the Interior, among others -
observed a nurse at work, celebrating the vaccination, with a single dose, of a million Buenos Aires
.
It does not matter that there are tens of millions left to receive the saving doses, nor the uncertainty regarding when this will occur, nor the slowness in the rate of inoculation, nor the doubts about the negotiations that were made and those that were not.
Let's look at the glass that is half, or barely, barely, barely full, and not all that is empty.
To continue with the vaccinations, the same day Minister Vizzotti completed an interesting raid.
He was at the foot of the cannon, or the plane strictly speaking, to receive a new shipment, 500 thousand doses, from Sputnik V, together with the Minister of the Interior and a top-line presidential adviser.
The arrival of that inaugural plane, with all the symbolic charge of the case, go ahead.
But is it necessary for officials of that level to travel to Ezeiza every time one of these flights with little content arrives, to see how they unload boxes that they should not control either?
At times a whiff flies over that poor coast of Olmedo ...
Days before the psychologist María Rosa Daglio had died, as a result of the blow when she fell on the pavement, dragged by a motorcycle jet.
The most outrageous thing is that the criminal,
Miguel Alejandro Ochoa, must have been in prison when he killed María Rosa.
He had been released from prison in April of last year, by the same judges who denied him the benefit of home detention two months earlier.
On the other hand, not recommended by the Penitentiary Service.
The pandemic worked the miracle.
Ochoa went home.
When they decided to recapture him in November, they no longer found him
.
A fugitive ever since, he didn't seem very concerned about his health.
He walked the streets doing his thing, and thus ended Daglio's life.
Postcards, just, from schizophrenic Argentina.
