While
Alberto Fernández
decreed five days of national mourning in tribute to the more than 100,000 deaths that the pandemic has already left in Argentina and asked "not to profit from death" and in a context in which experts warn about the possibility of a third wave of infections and the Government prevents the return of thousands of Argentines who are stranded abroad,
a massive march that social organizations aligned with the Frente de Todos are preparing to Plaza de Mayo, in support of the management, set off the alarms in the House Rosada
, who tries to deactivate it to avoid contradictions in health matters that the opposition can take advantage of in the final stretch of the election.
Scheduled for August 7
, the Day of San Cayetano and a month before the PASO, the President made known his opposition to the mobilization that they draw from the
Union of Workers of the Popular Economy
(UTEP) and other social organizations linked to the ruling party , such as the Evita Movement, Barrios de Pie and unions of the CGT.
The government's position is that there are no demonstrations.
"We have already told them that it is not the best way and that we must continue to take care of ourselves," they said from the President's environment before the
Clarín
consultation
on the mobilization. "There is no change of position or double standard: neither when they march against nor when is in favor like this case.
The pandemic is not over yet, "reinforces another official with an office at Casa Rosada.
Various condiments come together to support this line.
On the one hand, the march would be the day after the DNU expires at the expiration of the isolation (on August 6), just when the Government must define whether to extend, per case, the cap to flights, which currently sets a maximum of 742 Argentines authorized to return to the country.
“It was difficult to convince (the Minister of Health, Carla) Vizzotti to raise the quota (NdeR: by that date there will be 1,000 daily) because the Delta is hitting all over the world.
It would be a great mistake for such a march to take place: if they want to support, they should not do anything, "says another weighty leader of the ruling coalition who asks to end the" friendly fire. "
Fact: for the moment the Government does not plan to increase the quota, even the discursive axis to which it will appeal to support the measure is already outlined.
On the other hand, the proximity of the STEP and the date (August 8) in which it was initially contemplated to carry out until the ruling party pushed for the postponement to September 12 with the health argument.
"If later the cases explode, even if it is not because of the march, who do you think is going to pay that cost? Our President," they reproach in Balcarce 50.
The march is confirmed for now.
"The central agenda will be that of work and production as the backbone of the Argentina of the future, to build economic growth from the bottom up and work with dignity for the popular economy," said leader Gildo Onorato, secretary, on his Twitter account. General of UTEP.
The curious thing is that several of the referents of the organizations that adhere and lead the march are part of the Executive, with positions in the first and second lines of the organization chart, or are aligned with the Casa Rosada.
From the secretaries
Fernando "Chino" Navarro
(Parliamentary Relations) and
Emilio Pérsico
(Social Economy), leaders of the Evita Movement, through
Daniel Menéndez
, Undersecretary of Integration Policies and Training in Social Development, and a reference for Barrios de Pie, to the social leader
Juan Grabois
, a reference to the Frente Patria Grande and who, despite not having a position, has members of his troop integrated into the Executive.
Menéndez, as published by El Uncover, was the first to confirm attendance: "
It will be an important mobilization
, a massive accompaniment of the national government," he was enthusiastic.
The official bid, at the same time, for a place on the list of deputies for the province of Buenos Aires.
Close to him, they explained to
Clarín
that "at this rate, in 20 days the level of vaccination and more care measures will allow mobilization" and they trust that finally the Government will not object.
Navarro, an official who reports to the Santiago Cafiero Cabinet Headquarters, explained to
Clarín
that he is going to "prioritize health care, social distance and prevention measures and the use of chinstraps."
“The March of San Cayetano of August 7 implies claiming work, public and private investment in pursuit of an egalitarian Argentina without the poor.
It will also mean support for President Alberto Fernandez in the negotiations with the IMF ”, he completed.
Grabois, meanwhile, also confirmed his presence in front of this newspaper and said that they will take extreme measures "to minimize the health impact."
The prognosis made by the organizers accounts for more than 150 thousand people.
It is true that the figure is always more ambitious than the one that is later mobilized.
But still, the Government keeps it on alert.
