The controversy of the visits to President Alberto Fernández in the Quinta de Olivos in full harsh imprisonment due to the coronavirus pandemic still raises talk, and now former President Eduardo Duhalde has joined, who said he
was there about six times
in 2020.
After being one of the controversial names that made up the VIP vaccination, the veteran Peronist politician now went out to bank the current president and said that the criticism "is exaggerating."
"I do not misjudge it, not at all. It is exaggerating.
They are those stupid fights on one side and the other of the crack
. They are minor issues. Everyone moved as they could. We must not exaggerate with the serious problems that the country has," he said. .
In dialogue with Chiche Gelblung, on Radio Colonia, he recalled that when he ruled Argentina he lived for a short time in the Presidential Palace, but
left an unknown anecdote
so far.
"I lived in Lomas and came back. What happens is that at that time you couldn't go back because people were at the door of my house,
angry with
everyone leaving
. When I could, I would go back to Lomas," Duhalde started. .
In his opinion, in the Quinta de Olivos "you live like anywhere" and he again supported Fernández.
"When you're there you always have a job
and date people,
" he said in an understanding tone.
But immediately Duhalde plunged into
a delusional anecdote.
Literally.
"In my case,
in March 2002 I began to hallucinate
, therefore those Adventists from Entre Ríos came. I did stay there for a while because they
gave
me not only food but also massages. I
hallucinated that I saw a river and was fishing jumping
. it was the hallucination, "the former president insisted and surprised the former president with the story.
"It
was probably due to stress
. One cannot have one, ten or fifteen psychological impacts every day
and stay well
. The human being is not prepared for that," he explained about that moment.

According to the former president, there were several visits.

Then he confirmed that during 2020 he visited Fernández at the Quinta
"about five or six times
.
"
And he left an even more surprising phrase: "
I found him as I was when that
(hallucinations)
happened
."
"They do not take care of themselves and there are no supermen," he concluded.
"It is easy to govern"
According to his vision, the most serious thing he sees in Argentina at this time is "
the inability of the leadership
to understand the moment and take measures accordingly."
"
Governing is easy for those who know
. How to operate an appendix is easy for a doctor or a surgeon, but you have to know. The most basic things are not known," he shot, although without specifying who.
He said that it is his turn to teach these things every year at the Camilo Cela University in Madrid where he gives "the basics of governance."
"There are three things:
order, control and respect
. Without order and control not even a family works. No one works without that," he explained.
"After 40 years of the murderous military coup that Argentina had, it is possible to speak of order. But when I was president I had to explain: democratic order, without helmet or bayonet. You
spoke of order and they said that 'this one is with the military'
. But it already happened, "he analyzed.
Then he said that "there is no order, less control and
respect for nothing
."
"Respect for the people, for neighboring countries ... there is no respect for anything.
Thus you cannot live or organize a country,
" he said.

Duhalde said that this is recovered "with a government that understands first that the problems of the country more than the debt are
what is not produced
."
Finally, he confessed that in the last two elections he
did not vote
.
"You never win or lose by a vote. The truth is that
I am not going to participate in anything,
" he concluded about the next elections.
