In the midst of the

political and judicial bid

between the Nation and the City for the presence in schools - and within the framework of historical levels of deaths from covid - the Minister of Education Nicolás Trotta broke his self-imposed silence and affirmed that he did not present his resignation to Alberto Fernandez.

"It was a

moment of anxiety,

" he declared.

It was a reference to the moments that were lived days after last April 14, after the president announced on the national network that from Monday, April 19 to Friday, April 30, the

virtual modality would

be returned to the

three educational levels.

It's just hours before the announcement, Trotta himself formulated the position to ensure that epidemiological still presencialidad instance that was worsened in recent days.

His stance was overruled

.

On Thursday night, in dialogue with

América TV

, Trotta said about this moment: "

There were different views

that had been raised in the framework of the different meetings. The President listened to the position that the Ministry of Education had as Carla Vizzotti ( of Health) and

settled the debate with his decision

".

He continued: "I did not present my resignation, it was a moment of anxiety, but I have to recognize something very valuable:

the President is responsible

for the burden that governing implies

.

"

Trotta, in that sense, considered that Fernández made the decision

"Not because of what happens inside the school, but

because of the mobilization

that is the President's concern and sets the references in the epidemiological field."

In this context, the minister first pointed out Horacio Rodríguez Larreta for prosecuting the DNU signed by Fernández, which, among other measures to stop the covid, established the virtuality of schools.

He added: "

A head of government is not only ABL, but governing and making unpleasant decisions.

The president makes this decision because everything can go to hell and it is a situation of enormous complexity."
