Two weeks before PASO, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta again referred to the episode that caused a crisis in the government: the revelation of the celebration of the birthday of the first lady, Fabiola Yañez in the Quinta de Olivos in full strict quarantine due to the coronavirus.
"
It causes you shame, anger
. To think that at that moment people were distressed, we were all distressed, with our children who did not go to school, many people who could not work. That a year and a little later they tell us that they were sorry,
If they had been sorry they would have said it the next day
: 'This happened last night, sorry.' One can take them or not, but
a year and a half later it is because they were discovered,
"said Larreta.
In turn, the head of the Buenos Aires government was consulted on whether or not it was a crime, a question raised by the defense of President Alberto Fernández, who insists that there is no crime because as there were no infections there would be no criminal configuration.
"
I do not know if it is a crime, I am not a lawyer
. Justice has to define that. I understand that the investigation is advancing, there is a prosecutor," he commented in a dialogue with radio
Rivadavia
.

And he was critical of the President for his first apology: "The first reaction was to somehow blame his partner,
he was not very sorry
, eager to apologize. After he corrected, he contradicted himself."
On the other hand, Larreta also spoke of the President's offer to donate part of his salary as "reparation."
"This issue of compensation,
here there is nothing to compensate, the damage has already been done
. There is damage in the message to the people, credibility. To propose compensation, here there is nothing to compensate."
And he put the focus on the PASO: "There
will be a very clear judgment on September 12.
The best way to evaluate people is now in two weeks."
He was also consulted about his participation in the 64th birthday of former deputy Elisa Carrió in Exaltación de la Cruz, whose celebration was denounced in court and even the Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, asked for an apology, as the opposition asked the President for the Olivos scandal.
"
Putting everything in the same bag is nonsense
. It was outdoors, it was in December, in a municipality that was in phase four. Tables of eight or ten people. That same day the photos were published, nobody tried to hide anything, it was public, "concluded Larreta.
The companies that leave
Before the statements about Olivos, Larreta participated in the Council of the Americas, where he referred to the exodus of companies and the lack of opportunities for young people, in the midst of the economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic.
"Today in Argentina it is difficult to find work and those who still want to invest to generate work are put in the wheel, very high taxes, changes in the rules of the game ... That is why there are companies that are leaving, like our children, that they
feel that we are throwing them out,
"said the head of government.
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta participated virtually in the Council of the Americas.
And he claimed: "Today Argentina is
the country with the highest youth unemployment in the region
. We have to restore hope to young people that there is a future for them here. And the only way to do it is to return to the grassroots, to the culture of work and effort. That is the Argentine DNA. "
