The former deputy
Elisa Carrió
shared his
harsh diagnosis
on the future of Argentina on
Thursday
, because he considered that
the country is "without leadership"
, on the verge of a crisis similar to that of "Rodrigazo" in 1975, and the return of protests to demand
"that go all "
the political leaders, as happened in the social outbreak of
2001
.
The founder of the Civic Coalition, who played a key role in the constitution of Together for Change, raised the dramatic scenario without hesitation and therefore asked the political class to resort to "
serenity and temperance"
to navigate the
"tragedy that we are experiencing. living".
He also opined that "from a political point of view, it is not understood how the President
dissolves his power
day by day."
"Alberto Fernández is someone who
attacks himself
," he defined without nuances.
And he specifically referred to the conflict between the national government and the Buenos Aires government, led by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, regarding the continuity of face-to-face classes.
"You have to have serenity and
not get muddy in the mud of politics
, because we are in a Nation
without leadership and without rationality,
" he said.
Carrió expressed his expectation that the Supreme Court of Justice would rule on the protection raised by the Rodríguez Larreta administration
to "pacify"
the situation.
The former national deputy appealed to the highest court of Justice "to
put peaceful waters
on an issue that should never have come to justice."
"Why does
Larreta, who is a pacifist
, who was always in the dialogue,
enter into conflict
? Because they closed the dialogue and trampled on the autonomy, so
they left him with no way out,
" he asked and justified.
"I continue to support Rodríguez Larreta because
if we do not continue in rationality we lose ourselves
. Being civil servants and getting angry with the irrational does not make sense, there are other places where irrationality prevails," he defended the Buenos Aires head of government.
However, the JxC referent did not stop questioning the Buenos Aires governor Axel Kicillof, whom he gave as an example as one of the "
stressed and fearful
leaders
, who, being overcome, enter into irrationality."
Followed, he warned of growing social moodiness.
Carrió came to consider that we are
"close to everyone leaving"
and that is why he insisted with his call for the political leadership to have "respect for society."
"Transmitting serenity to the population, care and respect is the best we can do. If not, they will wear the entire political class. I myself
am fed up with the political class
, with the incompetence of those who legally advise the governments, be it the national or the city, "he warned.
"In a house where
there is no food and you see trivial discussions
between two politicians who fight," he lamented.
Support for the postponement of the elections
Carrió assured that she was one of those who promoted the efforts so that Together for Change accompanies the initiative of the national government to suspend, for a month, the Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primary elections (PASO)
and the legislative elections
at the national level to minimize the risks of contagion in the face of the second wave of Covid-19.

"Congress can act rationally on the issue of postponement of the STEP. Go to September because
not only this wave
(of the coronavirus) is coming but the July and August
waves
," he convened.
He expanded his call by pointing out that "we must calm down,
suspend the STEP
so as not to start with an electoral machinery that will not even get a president of the table, except for the boys from La Cámpora who are
vaccinated
."
"
It is immoral
that politics is fighting charges in the midst of collective tragedy," he declared.
.
His candidacy, as "ultimate guarantee"
Carrió also reiterated that she
does not rule out
the possibility of being a candidate in the Buenos Aires territory, although she stressed that she
is "the last guarantee"
to maintain the opposition unit in that jurisdiction, key for electoral contests.
He explained that it not only depends on the decision of former governor María Eugenia Vidal, but on the rest of the deliberations in the opposition coalition to
search
for
"the best candidates
.
"
"I await her decision. If María Eugenia's decision is not to play in the province of Buenos Aires, all those from Together for Change have to agree with the best candidates. And if, suddenly, we are in a climate of too much fragmentation and I can unify, I will be ".
The definition of María Eugenia Vidal will define whether or not Elisa Carrió is a candidate.
But to that decision he added drama:
"For me there is a risk of life," he
emphasized, being a patient at risk in the face of the pandemic.
Criticisms of the judge who prosecuted Daniel Santoro
The CC leader also joined the voices that condemned the recent prosecution and embargo of Clarín journalist Daniel Santoro and pointed against the judge who ordered it, Luis Rodríguez, by denouncing that
"He
is a protégé
to agree with anyone."
Federal judge Luis Rodríguez, in the sights of Elisa Carrió.
Carrió recalled that he
promoted the impeachment
against the magistrate because "Rodríguez is also a judge who has covered up Daniel Muñoz for many years, because we denounced Muñoz for having properties in Bariloche and Miami, Cristina Kirchner's secretary and then
closed the cause
".
"This judge, who apparently charged 10 million dollars for this, or 10 million pesos, is the same one who is acting in the cases," he added.
Inflation and the risk of another "Rodrigazo"
Finally, when asked
about the progress of the economy
and, above all, about the problem of inflation, Carrió once again raised a difficult panorama by pointing out that there is a risk that a situation similar to "Rodrigazo" could occur in Argentina. and that this ends with generalized protests against the political class.
"The problem of the deficit, the macroeconomic one, is so serious," he described and often
rejected the attacks
of the national government
against food-producing companies due to
the jump in prices.
In this regard, he claimed: "
Do not blame the food companies
. When the country is producing what it is, do not restrict exports, because it is the only money that comes in. What you have to do is increase the supply, we have to
get out of prices maximums
".
Later, Carrió said that the official programs to control prices are governed by the logic of
José Ber Gelbard
, who was in charge of the Treasury between 1973 and 1974 with the mission of achieving zero inflation through price freezing programs.
"This controlled prices is Gelbard and that policy with fiscal issuance led to Rodrigazo and we had no debt. In '75 the ruling party fought
between two Peronists
, we had no foreign debt and, nevertheless, due to a policy of maximum prices we lived the Rodrigazo and the majority of Argentines were poor, "he recalled.
And when they cross-examined him if he believed that Argentina was indeed heading for another Rodrigazo, which caused a historic inflationary crisis, he replied: "I believe that if we continue without solving the macroeconomic issue, yes."
"What is going to happen when people see that inflation does not go down?" He asked himself and answered: "I am
going to go to the dollar
and there they will not be able to sustain it",
And he concluded that "the problem is that there is a great distrust of Argentines towards their currency and economic management."
