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.

The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, postponed the opening of the 151st period of ordinary sessions of the Buenos Aires Legislature due to the massive electricity blackout that occurred in a large part of the country.
"Given the emergency generated by the widespread power outage,
it has been resolved to postpone the opening of the legislative sessions
that was to take place on the day of the date," the governor announced on his Twitter account.
It has not yet been specified if it will be rescheduled.
In turn, he specified that
the Provincial Cabinet is meeting in the Governor's Office to monitor conditions in the Province
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.
