If it did not test positive, it would have been convenient to invent it
Never was a positive more timely.
This time it served to disrupt the appointment that
Alberto Fernández
had this Saturday
with
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta
.
Fatigued by birthday hats, the President learned of the spirit with which Larreta wanted to enter, and especially leave, the meeting:
1) Show that Alberto had called him because he
needs his prestige
to polish the car body dented by the polls ("Now they ask us to meet, after they cut our funds?").
2) Larreta conditioned the meeting to ensure that
there would be no photos of the two
, or of the three (if
Axel Kicillof
appeared
).
3) I was going to argue that they
are discriminating against the CABA
in the distribution of vaccines.
With this painting,
Alberto must have celebrated the positive
more than his birthday.
The harshness of the Buenos Aires boss responds to a new stage in his strategy.
They have explained to him that his position within the opposition coalition has made him a spokesperson who
cannot be absent from strong definitions
, such as those made by other leaders of Together for Change.
He has also seen polls that confirm that he is still at the top of adhesions, but that in the CABA pessimism has grown.
In the qualitative of these polls, the percentage of those who believe that things will not improve much in the future increased.
The pastoral task of the rulers also includes dealing with interpreting, containing and
sometimes manipulating the collective humor
.
That is why I have been giving my opinion for a month on issues that I previously avoided.
Also because the needs of the plague reach him.
In the hours before the appointment that never happened, his cabinet boiled in a debate about whether or not to toughen the closure of activities.
Fernán Quirós
warned that the new wave could force the limitation of classes in schools or the opening of shops.
He crossed paths with
Soledad Acuña
, Minister of Education, who rejected that possibility.
The same position was formulated by the radical
José Luis Giusti
, in charge of the Ministry of Economic Development and Production.
The debate served to round off the minute that
Larreta was going to take to Olivos
and that the video talk, a 15-minute tach-an-gó in replacement of the meeting, prevented the development.
They dedicated all the available time to re-profiling the bug control method.
Now it demands fine tuning, for example, of the availability of intensive care beds.
In Capital, occupancy has increased, but experts say it is because
therapies that were postponed in the first year have been resumed
.
It is a symptom of normality that affects more hospitals and private clinics, but that worries about whether the hospitalizations of critically ill patients due to Covid increase.
The
plague does not leave Olivos alone
, where the reckoning continues.
The meekness of Alberto's radio dialogue with the vaccinated / vaccinated person proves that the VIP vaccination scheme
was about a “bed” to turn it over to Ginés
from the ministry to which the President was no stranger.
It will not stop there.
If they postpone the national PASO, how are the provinces that advanced?
The plague ruins everything, but it
also orders it
.
This week he orders the opposition to function as a
"shadow cabinet"
in the British way.
A novelty for the Creole style, and it is possible because the coalition clings, like the Government, to its main asset, which is unity.
They enter into a deliberative state between Monday and Tuesday to deal with serious matters.
This Tuesday the radicals meet and in the afternoon the caciques of Together for National Change.
They have to find a creative and
low-cost
replica
to the
project of postponing the PASO to September and the elections to November
.
They agree with the Government in substance, but not in the form, which is loaded with unanswered questions.
The most important: if national legislatures are postponed, isn't it reasonable, if it is about spending less and protecting oneself from the bug,
that local elections are also
postponed
in provinces that have already announced advancement, such as Misiones, Jujuy and Salta?
A corollary: provincial elections summon voters who
often come from other districts, or from abroad
-in neighboring
provinces- to the polls
.
If they go ahead, will there be free movement?
How is that assured to them with Argentine voters who come from Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia to vote in their provinces of origin?
If there is no freedom of movement, it will be formalized, in that case, an impediment of the right to vote.
It is the most serious problem posed by the postponement hypothesis.
This Monday Larreta brings together the Juntos por el Cambio parties for
lunch at the Government Palace
of Uspallata.
It tries to unify the partners to support the agenda of the three weeks that come from the health emergency.
The nature of the larretista assembly requires a permanent caulking.
For example, given
Jorge Macri's
criticism of
partners like
Emilio Monzó
, who smells strongly of
Mauricio Macri's
handwriting
.
The mayor cousin hosted a meeting of the so-called Dorrego group in Vicente López with mayors who believed they received
two messages
:
1) That Jorge is willing to fight whoever is the candidacy for governor of Buenos Aires, be it
María Eugenia Vidal, Joaquín de la Torre, Diego Santilli, Cristian Ritondo, Maxi Abad or Gustavo Posse
.
2) That Macri supports him in a gesture that not only serves Jorge, but also puts Mauricio in the starting race for something in the future.
This signal immediately reached Larreta
and requires an engine overhaul.
"Call me Tony ..."
Another videoconference also took away the juice from a virtual meeting between two officials, who deserved a presence to face each other live and direct:
Felipe Solá and Antony Blinken
, Chancellor of
Joe Biden
.
Felipe is a fine product of the Creole political leadership, who comes from conservative grandparents and is the son of a judge.
He is on the honor
roll
forever for having brought transgenic soy to the country, the
yuyito that changed our lives
.
Your face is going to be on the stamps sometime, assuming you keep doing them in the future.
Blinken grew up with her mother's husband, Samuel Pisar, a lawyer for
Rita Hayworth and Liz Taylor
and a partner of
John Kennedy
.
Felipe empata: he worked in "Los Niños de Fierro", by
Pino Solanas
when he was 22 years old (it
was extra
, but he shared a casting with Julio Troxler, another Peronist myth).
Two products to have an unmissable presence;
they integrate into the bureaucracy of their republics the equivalent of the nobility in a monarchy.
Beyond the anecdotes, which are the spice of life, the result is garpa:
1) Blinken
did not mention the word Venezuela
;
Nor is Iran, a country with which Biden is already discussing another nuclear deal.
2) He told him that he
does not know when they will be able to receive Fernández
.
It will be when the plague subsides;
The first on the list of guests to the White House is the prime minister of Japan.
"And if your president cannot travel I will wait for you there."
He redoubled: "Call me Tony from now on. And talk to me whenever you want," said this seducer who grew up in Paris and is a guitarist and singer, like Alberto.
The
Audacious Knight - a
nickname that Solá used to describe among his friends - thanked the kindness of this chancellor whom they call "the Frenchified".
3) Yes, "Tony" was interested in
relations with China
, probably because he knows that Alberto is planning a visit to that country next May.
He went straight to the point: "Will there be a Chinese base in Ushuaia?"
Direct answer: "There will be no foreign military or strategic base anywhere in our territory as long as we are government."
Neither for Chinese nor for you, he failed to say.
4)
By when will the ambassador?
asked those here.
Washington is paralyzed by the plague and there is no idea when an ambassador will come to Buenos Aires.
"Send a good one please," says Felipe.
Tony's response: "We will try."
Absolutists vs.
republicans
Absolutists were always suspicious of free speech.
The chinstrap, in those consciousnesses, is confused with the gag.
It will be noted if the treatment of the extraordinary appeal of Together for Change - hereinafter the Republicans - on the
legality of that session of Deputies of September 1
of last year, in which voice and vote was given,
will prosper in the Court
those absent, and
those present were denied
.
Sergio Massa
presided over it without approved protocol.
That slip happened like a scandal of the moment, but the ruling party justified it because of the climate of panic that existed, which justified everything.
A year later, Massa will have to justify the legal reasons and is not helped by the critical context that exists today regarding the controls on the freedom of others.
Regardless of how it ends, it hurts the neatness that he seeks for his profile.
In
contrast Cristina and Alberto
, it works for the public that demands political correctness.
Try not to put your finger in your nose, and if you do, turn your head.
If not, he would have already responded to the demand of
Mónica Frade
and
Fernando Iglesias -
hammers of heretics - about whether he was vaccinated or not.
The absolutists of Christianity base their actions on the worship of the chief, a canonizable lady who has convinced them that she has infallible doctrinal and strategic clarity.
But it is also unprovable, because it does not serve to get rid of the chains that it has been dragging for more than a decade and that have been seized, processed, held in the country unless authorized by a judge, and in a rear-front position such as the vice presidency.
This corset can only be removed with the special help of the Most High.
Peronism
did not let her be a candidate for president
and the Justice has attended her since she was the government.
He only manages to accuse the judges, the opposition and the media of his misfortunes.
If these agents had the power she attributes to them, they would do better in life.
The judges would not have taken away the benefits of their pensions and not paying taxes, nor would they be threatening them with dismissals, transfers or indiscreet audits of their personal accounts.
The opposition would be the ruling party and the media would not suffer persecution.
The return of the "sweet potatoes"
The
"puff"
case
was a
warning to the jurisdiction of freedom of expression
, which should have prompted legislators to intervene with a project that would shield that jurisdiction, which is not that of those who exercise the office of keyboard and microphone.
It belongs to everyone, his audience, who are the readers, that is, the politicians.
In that case, a judge, Ramos Padilla, who is now an electoral magistrate in La Plata, ordered
a "Truth Commission" that is protected by the State
to analyze the notes of colleague
Daniel Santoro
, to determine if those writings were of the genre of "Psychological Action".
A
nonsense wherever you see it
.
First, because the PA is an action described in the codes of Creole espionage and other totalitarian regimes.
It seeks to incriminate those who speak out
, seek to punish its effects on the public, which are logical, anatomical and also psychological.
Every human act is psychological action.
Writing and reading are, as is breathing.
The extreme of this misleading use of sources is the unspeakable insult to colleague Joaquín Morales Solá.
The attack he received from a “sweet potato” deputy –to evoke the violent Menemists of La Rural in 1993-, which has
protection and impunity rights
, is more serious than having paid homage to a friend's tetamen in the middle of a session.
In any case it was an act of love, and not hate.
But it cost the lustful Juan Emilio Ameri his head.
I asked Deputy
Graciela Camaño
if she could contribute some jurisprudence on this attack, and that of
Carlos Vivero
from Neuquén
to Deputy Iglesias.
He resigned his opinion;
She believes she is included in the general rules of the law after the hand she put on
Carlos Kunkel
in the middle of the session, when he got into her with a reference to her husband.
"Mano de Piedra" Camaño has diagnosed that it was a sobering gesture:
"Kunkel has changed a lot since then
.
"
It surpassed in style the slap of the remembered
Mari Sánchez to Jorge Matzkin
in 1992 and has been praised by
Elisa Carrió
, who is a mentor of non-violence, as "a perfect, divine slap."
News in escraches: display your calls by phone (Argentina Presidencia)
Now another intimidation towards the press is configured, which is the disclosure of lists of
telephone calls between officials with journalists
and of these with their friends, children, lovers, masseurs, etc.
They are judicial evidence surely collected under the protection of legality, but they are disseminated in the militant action media with the same impudence with which the wiretaps of Cristina's favorite asshole were published.
The use of the call lists of former presidential adviser
Fabián Rodríguez Simón
are used with intimidating intent, and the very Justice that authorized them must act to stop this use.
The publication is a form of escrache, showing that a journalist spoke with the Pope or Frankenstein and deducing reprehensible behavior from there.
The absolutists of Christianity seek that, in any case,
no one talks to anyone
.
He tried during the year of the plague to ensure that all the action of the State was encapsulated in virtuality.
That no legislator spoke to anyone, except through the controlled networks of virtuality, which
now the Court has the opportunity
, reviewing the case of the Massista session of Deputies last September, to turn around definitively.
This case serves to configure a new presumption of illegality, which is the telephone crime, just as in the United States there is the postal crime, which is an aggravating factor for other crimes that are difficult to prove.
It is used to aggravate the penalties of those who, in addition to stealing, use the mail facilities to commit crimes, which is based on public faith.
CABA and Córdoba are not Formosa
This presumption must be analyzed in relation to the
enslavement of freedoms
that are denounced in Formosa.
The Court already intervenes in these abuses, such as asking a neighbor of Clorinda for three PCRs with a difference of less than 12 hours to travel the rest of the province.
The sanitary gag refreshes the slogan of the absolutists: "The happy freedom of the press is a scourge from God, and a punishment for our sins" (Cádiz, novel).
Fortunately, the press finds havens for its jurisdiction in regions where it has sought to protect these rights.
In CABA, which is where most of the national media are located,
the law that regulates freedom of the press in the district is still in force
.
If this chronicler were one of the exposed journalists, he would take action before the Superior Court of Justice of the CABA by law 4565. That norm protects the task in the CABA since its sanction by the Legislature in 2013, and José Manuel de la Sota replied in Cordova.
It was inspired by Rodríguez Simón himself and Macri, as governor of the CABA, signed the bill as an umbrella for the threats from the Cristina government to an intervention by the Clarín group («Regime for the Defense of Freedom of Expression in the CABA).
In December 2012, Congress had modified the Capital Market Law, and
one of its articles opened the possibility of intervening in companies with State shares
.
Elisa Carrió
went so far as to say that, if there was an intervention, she would chain herself with other leaders at the companies' facilities.
For Cristina's government, this CABA law meant a political defeat, because it showed that her opposition was beginning to dominate certain territories, something in which Peronism presumed to be a majority.
It was a sign that anticipated the electoral result of that year in the legislative elections, and that consecrated the dissident Sergio Massa as the winner in the province of Buenos Aires before the Peronism of
Daniel Scioli
.
Also escraches to dispatch internal
These escraches through the display of calls are used in the ruling party
to attack internal opponents such
as
Juan Grabois
.
The hegemonic media of Christianity said they were surprised by the calls of the CTEP leader to Rodríguez Simón, when the relationship between them is public and has been reported for years.
The projects on the popular economy that this government has made its own, were born before 2019 due to the good relationship that Grabois had with the former presidential adviser and other macrista cabinet officials, such
as Mario Quintana and Carolina Stanley
, and in the CABA with Larreta (who continue ).
They were embodied in the social emergency law of 2016 - a three-year program that created the complementary salary for the poor -, the census of popular neighborhoods for the ReNaBaP and the law of expropriation of lots in the villas to give them to their occupants.
Grabois's enemies are now scandalized by something that everyone knows, so much so that 15% of what is collected from the tax on the recontra rich
will go to finance these expropriations
, which became law with the unanimous vote of the ruling party and opposition in 2018, according to a project inspired by Rodríguez Simón, Grabois and Quintana.
The project also benefited from the heavenly management of
Pope Francis
- who secured a massive vote in both houses of Congress - and was signed by
Mario Negri, Elisa Carrió and Nicolás Massot
.
To demonize, by internalism, that bipartisan achievement in Argentina of intolerance, is to bring the grudges to the brink of rationality.
More serious is to appear ignorant
, as if those agreements were secret.
This newspaper reported in detail the process of that project, which now motivates rockets that were supposed to go to the moon but which are fired at "Pepín" and Grabois, whom a sector of Christianity has been targeting for years.
The rocketeers who do the escrache finish off their intelligence as follows: "Members of the militancy consulted are horrified: they never knew there was such a close relationship with the Casa Rosada."
The story is old, dear: it is in the column "Avant Première: Secret history of a secret law, fruit of Macri, Cristina, the Pope and Durán Barba" in
Clarín
of July 8, 2018. More details can be read in
" The final pact Macri-Francisco: the revolution in the villas "
, Cap.
46 of The Peronist Pope (Ed. Ariel, 2019; in the best bookstores, and in the worst too).
Books don't bite, neither does the press, but they do terrify absolutists.
