They ate roast again. Once again, the executive committee of the CGT met alone with the President in Olivos for more than three hours. Some of the problems are the same as last year; for example, the costs of social works. Others are more urgent:
who will replace Eugenio Zanarini
, who died on Monday, in the Superintendency of Health Services. The President confirmed that Daniel López, from San Juan, will lead the regulatory body for social work and prepaid medicine and that there will be no other changes in the body.
Until now, López was in charge of the Directorate of Access to Health Services, which depends on the National Agency for Disability and responds to the Secretary General of the Presidency Julio Vitobello.
The joint discussion in the midst of the inflationary spiral and vaccines for essential sectors were other axis of the conversation.
Quickly the leaders of the labor
union
whitewashed the journalistic versions:
David Arauchan
was their candidate, their candidate for the Superintendency of Health.
The President told "the fat ones" that Arauchan - one of their men - already held the position of manager of the SSS and that
he had already defined who would replace Zanarini
.
"He guaranteed that he is someone they trust and that no one else influenced the determination." He is a person of his, honest and very technical, who worked a lot with one of the unions that were present, "they said from Olivos. Union sources that participated The meeting indicated that López is elected.
In other words, a day after the photo of the unit in Ensenada, the head of state ruled out that the replacement is the candidate of La Cámpora:
Liliana Korenfeld
, who already held the position during the second presidency of Cristina Kirchner.
Alberto Fernández with the CGT trade unionists.
This issue divides the waters in the ruling coalition.
Kirchnerism wants to "reunify" and integrate the health system, although it never finishes explaining what its true plans are.
The fat people, who had an excellent relationship with Zanarini, resist.
The discussion will reopen sooner rather than later.
It froze after January with the little publicized increases that the Government and REPROs enabled for Health companies, similar to the defunct ATP program.
The CGT diners were the same as always Gerardo Martínez (UOCRA), José Luis Lingeri (Sanitary Works), Héctor Daer (Health), Carlos Acuña (Service Stations), Andrés Rodríguez (UPCN), Armando Cavalieri, of Commerce and Antonio Caló, from the UOM.
Also from the game were Sergio Romero (UDI);
Jorge Sola, from Insurance;
and Roberto Fernández, from the UTA, who claimed the President for the
vaccination of bus drivers
.
The president picked up the claim - just one sector of the 1.5 million essentials that require vaccines - and asked him to divide that group by comorbidities and age.
"He
came to ask for something and was quite loose of papers," they
pointed out near the president.
Santiago Cafiero and Claudio Moroni were counted in the presidential delegation, a detail that union members appreciated since after the meetings with the President they must again explain their requests to the Minister of Labor and the Chief of Staff.
Later the Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti;
in addition to the presidential advisor Cecilia Nicolini - in charge of negotiating vaccines with foreign laboratories.
Vizzotti gave them an overview of the progress of the vaccination process.
Also present at the meeting were the Secretary General of the Presidency Julio Vitobello and of Communication, Juan Pablo Biondi.

The unions conveyed their support to the President.
"We are Peronists. We have been banking from day one," one of them said after the earthquake over the cross fight between Economy Minister
Martín Guzmán
and Energy Undersecretary
Federico Basualdo
.
The
inflation and updating
of wages were also part of the agenda.
A strong commitment was agreed to work on the rise in prices, especially in primary consumption items, so that they do not end up liquefying the salary increases that are achieved in joint ventures.
The government negotiates a price freeze for six months with businessmen.
The trade unionists thanked the modification of Gains and the President and praised the task of the social works and the unions during the pandemic.
