With the 614 new fatal cases registered in the last hours in Argentina, the country reached the chilling figure of 100,000 deaths from coronavirus.
Social networks were the platform to channel anguish, complaints, anger and criticism.
From the opposition the figure - which Alberto Fernández used as a comparison measure in a phrase now well remembered - messages sprouted with questions about the
government's health policy
and the
delay in the arrival of vaccines
.
One of the first to speak out was the radical deputy Mario Negri who assured that this day is
a day of mourning for the country
: "The Covid-19 pandemic took the lives of 100,000 Argentines. It is a painful balance that puts Argentina
in the worst world indicators
".
President of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) bloc and the Juntos por el Cambio Interblock, he also left a section for the ruling party: "
I hope the Government will allow itself to be helped
so that we prevent the tragedy from becoming greater," he said and concluded with the hashtag Un
Minute of Silence
.

The President of PRO and former Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich chose to post
a strong image and no words
.
His message was a totally dark photo, as a sign of mourning.
He also changed his profile picture and covered it with the same black image.

Another deputy, also from the radicalism,
Luís Petri
, left his opinion and harshly punished the Fernández government: "Unfortunately we exceeded 100,000 deaths in the country, with only 11% of the population vaccinated
due to the inability
of a government to obtain vaccines and
when they were scarce he stole them
. "

Meanwhile, the former governor of Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo, severely punished the President and recalled the President's phrase: "The account of the @alferdez government was that it
preferred 10 percent more poor people and not 100,000 dead
. Today, unfortunately,
we reached both figures They did
not know how to manage the quarantine or vaccines to avoid this tragedy.

Today, sadly, we reach both figures.

Who also spoke about it was the television host Horacio Cabak -very critical of Kirchnerism- who instead of words chose to make an analogy with the numbers: "
100,000 dead. 1 resignation,
" he said in relation to the resignation of the former minister of Cheers, Ginés González García when the VIP vaccination scandal broke out.
"100,000 stories that could continue to be told if they had brought all available vaccines.
Dark day in Argentina
. # 100milmuertos," wrote Deputy
Jimena de la Torre
,

The vast majority of the messages were criticized for the delay and lack of foresight when buying vaccines and also for some of the health policies that the Government decided to try to stop
the advance of the pandemic
.
"The chilling figure of # 100 thousand deaths from covid shows
the failure of the governments
that managed the pandemic putting the interests of laboratories,
health care and working people
ahead
, to pay private speculators and the IMF", Nicolás del Caño, a deputy and leader of the Left Front, expressed.

The President of the Civic Coalition-ARI of the City of Buenos Aires,
Paula Olivetto
, asked that the deaths from the pandemic not be naturalized: "There are not only 100,000 deaths. They are our friends, our relatives, our loves
that are no longer going to come back
. They have a first and last name. They are part of our history.
We cannot naturalize so much pain and so much emptiness
", he said and left a request:"
Let justice act. Forbidden to forget
. "
It is not just 100,000 dead.
They are our friends, our relatives, our loves that will never come back.
They have a first and last name.
They are part of our history.
We cannot naturalize so much pain and so much emptiness.
Let justice act.
Forbidden to forget

Meanwhile, Graciela Ocaña, national deputy, blamed the head of state for the number of deaths: "President Alberto Fernández had promised to take care of the lives of Argentines. However, he
privileged business friends
and the geopolitical interests of others. 100,000 deaths from Coronavirus.
An announced and preventable tragedy
. "
President Alberto Fernández had promised to take care of the lives of Argentines.
However, it privileged friendly businessmen and foreign geopolitical interests.
Thus we exceed 100,000 deaths from Coronavirus.
