After the
underground criticism of the governors
for not monitoring and deepening the restrictive measures,
Alberto Fernández
tried this Tuesday to return to the same formula for the administration of the pandemic that he used in 2020 and again sat down with provincial leaders to define the next restrictions that would begin to rule from Saturday.
Ten governors from the north and two from the coast discussed with the President the health situation of their provinces.
Fourteen days after Fernández and his most relevant ministers warned in a meeting - in which the head of state participated in a virtual way due to being isolated - that the governors had not used
Article 17 of the DNU
that regulated the restrictions to deepen measures, the Executive returned to be close to the governors.
The malaise of the Casa Rosada had two explanations.
In addition to the lack of control of national prohibitions and the lack of proactivity to dictate new measures on their own, the Government complained that the provincial leaders were not willing to share the political cost of the decisions.
Almost nothing changed, with the exception of some populous districts, such as Tucumán and Santa Fe. When the dialogue between the Nation and the City was broken due to face-to-face classes, no province - with the exception of Formosa and Santa Cruz and the previous one in Catamarca - He suspended face-to-face classes. Belatedly, governors Juan
Manzur (Tucumán), Alicia Kirchner (Santa Cruz), Omar Perotti (Santa Fe) and Sergio Uñac
(San Juan), as well as Axel Kicillof from Buenos Aires, were the only ones who dared to cross Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
The radical Jujuy
Gerardo Morales
demanded in recent days that the dialogue with the provincial leaders be recovered. "For a long time, the governors have not zoomed in with the ruling party to take up the issue of the pandemic," complained the governor - of good dialogue with Fernández - in dialogue with DiarioAr.
Indeed, the last zoom of the president with the governors had been on March 18. Before the implementation of the restrictions that took effect on April 9, the Chief of Staff, the Interior Minister and Fernández spoke hand-in-hand with the governors. The head of state, meanwhile, focused on the epidemiological situation in the AMBA and reissued the meetings with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Axel Kicillof. "There is a Government of a President and 24 governors", repeats Fernández since his inauguration. He repeated it for the last time in January of this year.
With some delay, the meeting began minutes before 6 pm They also participated, Morales;
the governors Gustavo Sáenz, from Salta;
Gildo Insfrán, from Formosa;
Jorge Capitanich, from Chaco;
Gustavo Bordet, from Entre Ríos;
Oscar Herrera Ahuad, from Misiones;
Gustavo Valdés, from Corrientes Ricardo Quintela, from La Rioja;
Juan Manzur, from Tucumán;
Raúl Jalil, from Catamarca;
Gerardo Zamora, from Santiago del Estero;
and Sergio Uñac
, from San Juan.
This Wednesday the President would continue the dialogue with governors of other regions of the country.
At the same time, the bridges of dialogue between Fernández and Rodríguez Larreta are rebuilt again after the climax of tensions and hours after the presentation of the Government before the Supreme Court after the presentation of the City in the highest Court.
Meanwhile, almost at the same time that the President was speaking with governors, the Chief of Staff
Santiago Cafiero
led another meeting together with the Ministers
Matías Kulfas
, of Productive Development;
and
Carla Vizzotti
, from Health;
with business oxygen chambers to guarantee supplies to clinics and hospitals.
