Despite the promises that repeatedly ended up being buried by reality,

the Government hopes that June will be a before and after in the management of the pandemic,

underpinned especially by the arrival of a good number of vaccines that will allow reaching some 17 million doses applied while going through the harshest winter.

"There is still a very difficult month ahead,

June will be very hard, but it will be very hinge

: we have the vaccines to accelerate the vaccination plan,"

high official sources

explained to

Clarín

this Sunday

, before the expiration of the restrictions that, by the current DNU, will be implemented again next weekend in areas of high epidemiological risk.

The Minister of Health,

Carla Vizzotti

, and the adviser

Cecilia Nicolini

-two officials who, due to the pandemic and the passivity of a good part of the cabinet, gained notoriety in recent times- crumbled this Sunday in Ezeiza, on their return from the journey for Mexico and Cuba, the dose arrival schedule for the next few days: 2.1 million AstraZeneca this Monday, another 3.5 million "as of June 14" and a new batch of Sputnik V scheduled for "this week ".

Carla Vizzotti and Cecilia Nicolini in Cuba where they negotiated for the Sovereign vaccine still under study.

So far, according to the public monitor of the Ministry of Health, the country has applied 12,063,160 vaccines: 9,318,742 people vaccinated with one dose and 2,744,418 with both.

"This week we should vaccinate a lot. We have the centers, and now we also have the doses," they are enthusiastic from the presidential environment.

It is that they drag, since the end of last year,

a series of promises regarding the arrival of vaccines that were not fulfilled

.

And that the opposition used, to top it all, and in a premeditated way, to sow doubts about the effectiveness of the management,

with special emphasis on the

Pfizer

affair

.

The Government aims in this regard to sustain the record levels of inoculation reached, according to official statistics, in the first days of May.

On the 5th of this month,

236,814 people

were immunized, per case

, the highest number since the start of the vaccination campaign.


For the Casa Rosada, June could be, paradoxically,

also hinged by the number of deaths from coronavirus

.

It is expected, according to official sources, that next month the number of fatalities will continue to be high due to the very high occupancy of therapy beds.

The percentage of ICU patients across the country who lose the battle against the disease is relentless: on the contrary, it continues to rise.

This week, however, Alberto Fernández and his collaborators expect a drop in infections due to the restrictions implemented by decree in recent days, and agreed with the governors and with the head of Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.

The consensus with the Buenos Aires administration, however, was brief: on Friday, at the edge of the press conference at the Uspallata headquarters,

Diego Santilli called Santiago Cafiero

-Felipe Miguel was

offline

due to coronavirus- to warn him that they would return with the school attendance, despite the epidemiological parameters that apply until June 11 in the current DNU.

"They told us that they would take care of other things, as if it were a negotiation, and it is not: the decree continues to set objective parameters. We always propose it as an activity that mobilizes people, it is not that children get sick within the school ... ", were justified from the Headquarters of the Cabinet. 

It was one of the few contacts of the week, despite the frequent dialogue between

Fernán Quirós

and Vizzotti and Santilli himself with

Julio Vitobello

, whom he has known since the old times of Peronist militancy.

This time,

Fernández and Rodríguez Larreta did not speak: they had removed the link from the thaw

a week and a half ago, but they froze it again.

The decision of the head of Government to reopen the schools from this Monday caused, once again, discomfort in the Casa Rosada.

"We have our vision and they have another. But ours is strictly epidemiological", abound from the presidential environment.

During his time in Mexico, where he supervised the bilateral agreement for the contract with AstraZeneca, Vizzotti also fed the internal position of the Casa Rosada: he reminded some of the head of state's collaborators of the decision of the Mexican state to support the closure of schools since March of last year.

And that earned that country a serious warning from UNICEF.

The "superpowers" law

Now, the Government must resolve how the administration of the restrictions continues as of June 11, when the current decree expires.

For that Friday, in fifteen days, the Casa Rosada hopes to be able to count on the

"pandemic law" - "superpowers", according to the opposition -

which already has half a sanction from the Senate and that the lower house is preparing to debate starting this week. .

One of the articles in the text raises

school attendance as a general principle

and suspension only in cases of epidemiological alert or other exceptions provided by the Federal Council of Education.

"There the law will have to be complied with, and the discussion is over

,

" they

raise from Olivos.

Option B, if Deputies do not arrive with the times, it could be option A again: appeal again to a DNU.

And return, for the umpteenth time, to the tensions of political negotiation
