A few hours after the new stage of restrictions and flexibilities in the districts of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires was reported, the crossings between the City of Buenos Aires and the national Government did not rest.
The head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Nation, Santiago Cafiero, criticized the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, noting that “he
once again confuses the porteños
,
because it insists with activities that are not allowed, when it is in alarm ”.
At the same time, Cafiero defended Axel Kicillof's decision that face-to-face classes return to the Province.
Diego Santilli, Buenos Aires deputy head of government, picked up the glove and replied: "It seems that Horacio is the culprit of everything."
“Despite the collapse of the health system,
Larreta decoupled from the national strategy
.
He did not comply with the decree in the case of face-to-face classes and now he
is confusing the people of Buenos Aires again,
”Cafiero said in dialogue with Radio Miter.
"You have to wait and see those numbers to confirm" that the City has passed into the category of "high risk," said Cafiero, and suggested to Larreta that "listen more to
epidemiologists
and less to
pollsters
."
Cafiero defended Kicillof's decision to return to face-to-face classes in the province of Buenos Aires.

Regarding Cafiero's words, Santilli replied: “It seems to me more like a
political discourse
than a real one (...).
When measures were taken, from day one, we always used the same parameters ”.
Also on Radio Miter, Santilli continued: “And the decisions for me were correct, if you look at the contagion rate in education was less than 2%, it was below the contagious rate of the City of Buenos Aires.
The right thing or not, in the middle of the pandemic it does not correspond to raise it from the health point of view, for me
the right thing has to do with always following the same parameters
, always being consistent with the data that the pandemic gives us and from there make the decisions ”.
“You
don't agree with Cafiero, then?
”, They asked him in Miter.
And Santilli's response was: “
No, I do not agree at all
, it seems to me that what you have to agree with is that the children are in school and that people can work as long as the pandemic allows it.
And that's what we do every day ”.
Are you angry? They then asked the Buenos Aires deputy head of government: "I'm not upset, it seems that every day it is
'And hit Pernía'
, it seems that Horacio is responsible for everything, and he is not."
Diego Santilli said that for the national government "Horacio is responsible for everything and he is not."
On the other hand, Cafiero attributed to the Nation the drop in cases in the Larreta district: “Now the City, from the
nine hard days
that were coordinated, and which
were measures that they did not want to take
but ended up accompanying, is with a much lower infection rate ”.
“
It is true that the number of infections in schools is low
, but it has now been shown that we and the epidemiologists and not the pollsters were right, that as the circulation of people lowers the circulation of the virus, educational activity was always not related to the contagions inside the classrooms ”, added the head of the national Cabinet.
Cafiero, consulted by the surprise decision of the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, that face-to-face classes should return, said that
"it is not a question of the will of a leader"
to "open or close activities, but of reality epidemiology "of each district, according to its number of coronavirus cases.
And he defended Kicillof: "The province exhibits a reality that allows it to open more activities."
In addition, he clarified that "
the province's decision was not surprising"
because they had been talking to the national government about it. "The governor is guided by national parameters and has a projected look," argued Cafiero.
For Santilli it was a
surprising decision
: “I was pleasantly surprised.
Surely the epidemiological situation in the province gave rise to this situation and they did ”.
Electoral tone
Cafiero pointed out that Juntos por el Cambio confuses people "by telling them what they want to hear because they
are thinking about the next election
and not about how to take care of Argentine lives."
"We are not thinking about the next election, we are not thinking about one more deputy, that is why the opposition is so violent and says anything all the time, because it thinks about generating blows that allow it to have a plinth on television and project a different election, that is not the attitude of the Government.
We have no time to read surveys
, we take our time to see how we bring more vaccines, "concluded Cafiero.
Faced with this statement, Santilli replied: "
Our time is occupied in preserving people's lives
, avoiding infections, recovering each job, protecting each SME, vaccinating as much as possible."
