Ricardo Forster, philosopher and presidential advisor, affirmed this Monday that in the "March of the Stones", held simultaneously at Casa Rosada and Quinta de Olivos in tribute to the more than 109 thousand deaths in Argentina from the covid-19 pandemic,
he detected
"hatred and anger."
Although he clarified that both feelings were not generalized, he remarked that he sought to
"demonize Kirchnerism"
and slipped that it was a "strategy of destruction of the figure" of Alberto Fernández, questioned at this time, in addition, by the meeting he had place last year in the Quinta de Olivos, on the birthday of Fabiola Yáñez, in full isolation due to the covid-19.
On that subject, Forster considered that "the photo should not have been" and that "the meeting should not have happened."
He even spoke of a
certain "naivety"
on the part of the President.
However, in parallel, the work of Fernández also stood out
not only in political terms, but also in terms of managing the pandemic.
In dialogue with AM 750, Forster pointed out to those who, according to his position,
spread
a commemorative expression
of political content
for the victims of covid-19.
"I saw some of the images, in passing, of the march of the stones, and I saw
some posters
that seemed to me that there was no mourning, but hatred and anger, especially in some people, perhaps not in others," he said.
The philosopher highlighted the work of Alberto Fernández in times of pandemic.
In that direction, he added: "But
that thing of demonizing
Kirchnerism, that this just arises from what is clearly a strategy of destruction of the figure of the President of the Nation."
"I believe that a people deserves to be built in another way, that democracy must be thought about and lived from a different place, beyond the conflicts that are inherent to democratic life. Beyond differences we should
learn
to live
from this difficult time
otherwise. But every day I become more skeptical about the possibility of generating that, "added Forster.
The controversial photo or "the film of effort"
The consequences that the
disclosure of the photo of the meeting in Quinta de Olivos
brought to Alberto Fernández
, when the Obligatory Preventive Social Isolation (ASPO) was in force by the Covid-19, was another of the issues that Forster touched during his interview with AM750
"It is a photo that should not have been, this meeting should not have happened, it is clear. The President of the Nation already said it,
he hit us all,
" he acknowledged.
The photo of discord, on the birthday of the First Lady in 2020.
However, at the same time, he stressed: "But you have to
see the film of the effort
, of the path traveled, of what it meant to try to rebuild Argentina after the tragedy of four years of destruction of the macrismo."
"And above all the constant search from the beginning by Alberto Fernández to build bridges with the opposition, with all the governors and governors. To imagine that the road to travel through the pandemic was linked to an idea of unity, of consensus, "he added.
And he continued, valuing the presidential work: "An effort that, I know, was constant. He worked steadily,
sleeping little
, and always being touched and moved by the drama that we all had to experience."
"It seemed that overnight the President is a liar, as he says 'a mask',
that this photo is the truth
. And by no means. Alberto Fernández is an honest person, who can be wrong like everyone else", questioned the philosopher.
Despite everything, he left room for self-criticism: "Alberto Fernández was naive but
it shouldn't be that
of the President of the Nation, much less of
those who should take
care of taking
care
of and preventing things like this from happening."
"If someone takes a photo,
that photo is condemned to circulate
. And if that photo includes the President and a situation like the one that happened in July of last year, it becomes a weapon of war. Then you have to be infinite careful, but not to make transgressions and that nobody finds out, but in a deeper sense of the term, "he said.
Questioning the opposition
For Forster, the opposition army is not in a position to criticize
in this context.
"One has the impression that
the opposition cannot say anything
to society because it has nothing to offer it in terms of structural improvement," he explained.
"Now they are more contaminated by sectors much further to the right. So it builds its way of walking towards the elections by appropriating these types of situations, errors, spectacularisation, yellowing. And something that is not minor, the spread that this has kind of practices, "he completed.
