In the midst of the blackout that affects half the country,

Alberto Fernández

's social networks

continued to work and generated controversy.

With the train stations full of

passengers who were left without traveling

, the water service

was becoming scarce

and the Government trying to provide explanations for the contingency, fragments of his speech were published on the President's Twitter account that resulted in

ironic messages given the context

of crisis.

In the first tweeted fragment the phrase

"today we live substantially better than three years ago" appears,

a passage of sarcastic interpretation if one takes into account that while it was being published, half of Argentina - the Government itself estimates it at 20 million users In addition to suffering from high temperatures,

it lacked electrical service

.

His messages were accompanied by photographs where

he is seen very smiling and sharing the frame with Cristina Kirchner,

with whom he met again this Wednesday in Congress after his last face-to-face in early September, on the occasion of the assassination attempt on the vice president

In the last post made by Fernández, the phrase

"Argentina is a great country"

appears , all framed in the massive blackout that began to worry the population because information was already beginning to circulate in the media that it would take hours to reestablish the service.

and address situations that may arise due to the inconvenience.

"Each of the ministers of the areas involved, as well as the mayors of each district of the Province, will focus on attending to the contingency," said the provincial president.

Almost at the same time, the head of Advisors to the Buenos Aires Government, Carlos Bianco,

and the Minister of Government,

Cristina Álvarez Rodríguez,

made the same announcement at a press conference in the Chamber of Deputies .

"It has been decided to postpone this message to another date.

We will see tomorrow how the situation continues and a new date will be defined

together with the opposition blocks," said Bianco, detailing that "light is partially returning in some municipalities and more slowly in others".

"Nobody expected this situation that nobody expected and that is absolutely accidental," he completed.

He stated that "once this situation is restored, we will be able to give this message" to the Legislature.
