Active in the heat of the campaign as the first candidate for national deputy for the City, this week Maria Eugenia Vidal returned about her experience as a former Buenos Aires Minister of Social Development.
She accompanied Horacio Rodríguez Larreta in the "cold operation"
that she herself created 10 years ago
and this afternoon she participated in "III Conference on Public Policies, the opportunities of the post-pandemic", at the Austral University where she touched on topics such as poverty, Inflation, the fall in economic activity, and also education and work.
"Argentina has to recover the founding myth, work and education as factors of progress and social advancement. I think that is what is most in crisis. The grandparents who came
regret that their grandchildren are leaving
. I play at 40% poverty is that, "remarked the former governor of Buenos Aires.
"We Argentines have already had other crises, unfortunately like this one.
We have a lot of experience in losses
, in inflation, loss of work. But as never before
this crisis is different
from the others because it adds to the economic and social crisis, a health and emotional crisis is added. with a mourning.
It is a country of mourning
with the loss of 107 thousand people, "said Vidal.
María Eugenia Vidal in a talk at the Austral University School of Government.
In turn, Vidal reflected on the quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"The closure of schools left us with children with less learning and
a deepening of inequality
and job loss with 90,000 businesses closed and 42,000 SMEs that were also closed."
And he added: "But deep down these losses are the
questioning of the founding myth
, that we are going to be able to have a better future than that of our parents and our children better than ours. And that in those who have less and less. it is further away and the daily life is
more like survival than improvement
".
Then Vidal got fully involved in the discussion of social plans.
"A third dimension appears, which is that of the plans. The plans are
going to turn 20 next year
. The question is whether they were successful, whether the policy that was born in the 2001 crisis was enough to contain an explosion of poverty, whether could take the next step, "asked the former governor of Buenos Aires between 2015 and 2019.
In that sense, he quoted his partner on the list, Martín Tetaz, when he said "The plans
are similar to an ambulance
, it is something that appears when you need it most, when you are in a major crisis. But you don't want the ambulance to stay in the door of your house forever, you want it to be a bridge to heal you ".
And after paraphrasing the economist, he pointed out: "
When the plan comes to stay for 20 years, there is something we did wrong
. It has to do with the lack of educational and job opportunities that deepened enormously after the pandemic."
The list headed by Vidal in the City of Buenos Aires is completed with Tetaz, Paula Oliveto, Fernando Iglesias, Carla Carrizo, Fernando Sánchez, Sabrina Ajmechet and Pablo Walter.
On September 12, he will compete within the Juntos por el Cambio intern with the list of United Republicans headed by Ricardo López Murphy and another that has former Health Minister Adolfo Rubisntein as the first candidate.
Revival with Larreta
This Wednesday Vidal participated together with Larreta and the Minister of Human Development and Habitat, María Migliore, in a new day of the "cold operation" to assist homeless people.
According to the protocol of the City government, when temperatures are equal to or less than 5 degrees, the mobile teams of the city government travel the streets of Buenos Aires to ensure that people living on the streets have hot food, warm clothes, supplies of coronavirus prevention and the possibility of staying in the Inclusion Centers.

"It is the result of the enormous work that has been done for years, first with the Metropolitan, then with the City Police: a Police close to the people, efficient, honest, and that is a source of pride for all," said Vidal.
And he concluded: "This also tells us about two completely different country models and that there is a way of doing things differently: with
hard work, effort
, planning with clear objectives and, above all, putting people as a priority and bringing solutions. to your problems. "
