In the midst of the restrictions established by President Alberto Fernández to try to lower infections in the second wave of coronavirus, the former candidate for vice president of Juntos por el Cambio and a Peronist reference in that space, Miguel Ángel Pichetto, criticized the measures and assured that the Government
"loves confinement and social control
.
"
The current Auditor General of the Nation maintained that the strict confinement measures
are "medieval" and destroy "everything that survived"
of the economy in the prolonged quarantine of 2020.
"There is no way to continue repeating (the measures) as epidemiologists want. They love confinement and social control, they are medieval measures. In medieval times, quarantine implied a period of confinement of people for 40 days, to save you of some plague. Argentina spent seven months with the slogan 'stay at home', "said Pichetto in an interview with
TN
.
For the former Kirchnerist referent in the Senate, "
there is great pressure from the province of Buenos Aires
, regarding the position on the quarantine and the closure."

Pichetto also warned that "the
isolation and distancing measures imply the destruction of everything
that had survived in the economy, and the people are suffering a lot."
The new confinement measures, which restrict circulation in all areas of the country that are classified as High Risk or Epidemiological Alarm, will run until Sunday, May 30.
The leader also pointed out against the vaccination plan, stating that "it is very bad, very slow, and the entry of vaccines that were bought and not delivered is pending."
After questioning that Astrazeneca has not yet delivered the vaccines that are produced in the country and packaged in Mexico, he stressed the need for the country to return "to normality through an intense vaccination system throughout the country and also in the suburbs. ".

As announced by the Mexican Government through an act in which President Alberto Fernández participated virtually "over the weekend" 800,000 doses of this vaccine would arrive in the country.
Pichetto's criticisms are added to that of other opposition leaders who also question the Government for the difficulty in obtaining vaccines.
One of the most vehement was the president of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, who, in addition to questioning the vaccination plan, pointed out the president and the former Minister of Health, Ginés González García, for the frustrated negotiations with Pfizer.
