In line with the first statements by President Alberto Fernández after the defeat of the Frente de Todos in the PASO, Chief of Staff Santiago Cafiero said on Monday that the Government heard "the message from the polls", but assured that "the majority of the people don't want to go back. "
Asked if the defeat affects governance, he said: "
It is not in question under any circumstances."
"The pandemic made people suffer a lot and it is logical that they are not satisfied with the Government in this regard because the pandemic made us
take unpleasant care measures,
" the national official analyzed, in dialogue with radio 10.
He considered that "these measures from the point of view of the pandemic worked, but from the electoral point of view they generated a very adverse climate and it is one of the points that should not be lost sight of."
"
We are committed to hearing the message from the polls
. We have to work twice as hard to regain confidence," he warned, ahead of the general elections in November.
"We have to look forward. The PASOs are the starting point for the general elections. In November we think that many more people have to join, participate and we must deepen the economic reactivation that is postponed.
Vaccinating and reactivating the economy It is the north that the president sets for us
and we have to go along that line, "he said.
Projecting into the future, after the victory of Juntos this Sunday, Cafiero said that it is necessary to "improve" but clarified: "Despite the result,
the majority of Argentines do not want to go back. That will be seen in the November elections
We have to deepen the economic reactivation agenda and complete the vaccination cycles. "
The great surprise occurred in the Province, where the single list of the Frente de Todos headed by Victoria Tolosa Paz fell by 5 points compared to the sum of the lists of Diego Santilli -winner in the opposition intern- and the radical doctor Facundo Manes.
Cafiero asked to win back the voters "going to look for them with a lot of militancy, a lot of territory and Peronism knows how to do it."
"We have to regain the street, take the message to every house in Argentina. A message of hope that we understand that there is still something missing but we know that no one wants to go back," he insisted.
