After the scandal over the celebrations in the Olivos presidential estate, the opposition requested the entry and exit records of Axel Kicillof's residence and the Government House of the Province, in La Plata. 

Through a request for a report, which bears the signature of the vice president of the block of provincial deputies of Together for Change Alex Campbell, it was requested

"report in detail"

all the income and expenses of the governor's residence and the Government House, located in the city of La Plata, 

from March 20 to October 1 of last year

, "as well as the schedule of entry and exit corresponding to each one ".

As reported, the petition is protected by the right of access to public information established by Law 27,275.

Within its foundations, it explains that "the President in a clear abusive exercise of his power, violated the isolation that he himself with his government determined for the population as a whole."

"In times of great anguish, pain and uncertainty;

Buenos Aires residents have the right to know how

the provincial government officials

performed

in relation to compliance with the quarantine in its strictest phase, a quarantine that was required of us with challenges from the Governor and the President to the rest of the citizens, "says the presentation. 

The text revolves around the scandal of the birthday of the First Lady Fabiola Yañez in the Quinta de Olivos, in full strict quarantine due to the coronavirus, where they did not respect the care measures.

The controversial photos of the party in Olivos show the President in a reception with his partner and the nine guests (in addition to a girl), in which chinstraps were not used or the social distance promoted by the Government was respected to avoid contagion in the pandemic.

"

The photo of shame not only symbolizes impunity

, but also an indolent attitude towards millions of neighbors who are suffering the dire consequences of the government's political decisions in health, social and economic terms," ​​the report points out.

And he concludes: "

The people of Buenos Aires as a whole demand urgent answers

and, above all, the Honorable Chamber of Deputies, Province of Buenos Aires, example and commitment of our political leadership. There can be no cracks in this. It is a moral duty that summons us and challenges and by which we choose to be public servants ".

Over the weekend, Kicillof sought to end the controversy after an act in Olavarría: "The President has already said everything and we do not have to allow ourselves to be distracted," he declared. 

He defended the words of Alberto Fernández and Santiago Cafiero, and targeted those who criticized the ruling party.

"The President and the Chief of Staff have already spoken but you also have to see from where you speak. It is very good to be able to complain or that you did not like such a thing, even if it is reprehensible, but you have to see from where you speak," he said.

He noted that many of the criticisms come from "those who fought so that people did not take care of themselves or those who traveled abroad all the time" during the pandemic.

For his part, Alberto Fernández himself raised the tone of his speech this Monday and, although he apologized, he chose to bet on widening the gap with the opposition: "They will not make me fall for the mistake I made," he launched.

In the last hours, a new complaint was made against the head of state for tampering with the admission forms to the Quinta.

It was presented by the Apolo Foundation, which responds to the opposition candidate Yamil Santoro and maintains that there were modifications in the list.
