The same day that the parallel dollar reached its
historical maximum of $440
, to close at $432, the presidential spokesperson
Gabriela Cerruti
published an
unusual video of more than two minutes
on social networks in which she talks about the causes of inflation. .
The ministerial-rank official justifies the record price increases in the pandemic, the drought and the war in Ukraine, with her manners.
Inflation in March gave an average of 7.7%, and Cerruti began the explanatory video with a statement
as if he were not part of the government
: "I
know that it is unworthy, because everyday life annoys you
, because your clothes change every day. prices, then it is very
difficult to talk calmly
about a topic that makes you angry and outraged".
"But the truth is that
our obligation is to try to explain to you
," Cerruti assured, in a condescending tone.
"Besides that
we understand how you feel
, how you are, and that the same thing happens to many of us that happens to you,
there is some explanation
, some attempt to understand what is happening. That will help you understand that this
is going to change and that it will be better
, "continued the spokeswoman.
"The truth is that
Argentina came with a very high inflation
. Macri ended with an inflation of 53%, very high and the pandemic caught us," he justified himself.
However, in his own way, he recognized that the monetary issue generates inflation: "
A lot had to be issued to be able to sustain everything
,
the vaccines
, the social policies, everything that was done. In Argentina, it was necessary to issue twice as much because there was no We could take loans because we were already in debt with the International Monetary Fund of the 40 billion that Macri had taken," Cerruti said.
To feed the official story about the economic crisis, Cerruti made a link: "
The pandemic ends and the war begins
. What does this mean? US$ 5,000 million to pay for energy that was very high and expensive because Ukraine,
the war with Russia and everything else
."
The presidential spokesperson Gabriela Cerruti revealed that she buys the bag of vegetables from the Central Market.
"We began to get out of this and you saw that the indices had dropped in November and December, and
we felt that the relief zone was beginning
because all the measures that are being taken, which promote growth, the generation of employment, allowed us to feel that We were a little better.
And what happened? The drought
, "Cerruti spun again in his recurring arguments.
He also remarked that it was the greatest drought since 1920.
On the other hand,
he said that he buys a bag of vegetables
in the Central Market
and that when he goes to buy a few things at the grocery store, he spends the same as in a bag with many products.
Almost unusually, Cerruti concludes: "All these are the
things that life does not solve for you
, but that we can explain to you and we can tell you so that you understand that what is happening is this scenario, that we are working a lot , that they tell us that the trend is beginning to change and that next month there will be a slowdown like the one we had in November and December".
Other Cerruti justifications for high inflation
Seconds after INDEC confirmed the worst of the forecasts with an increase in inflation of 7.7% compared to February, the spokesperson for the Presidency, Gabriela Cerruti, gave the Government's vision and linked the price escalation with " the impact of the war" in Ukraine.
"The number we see today represents the worst moment of the impact of the war on international prices and the worst drought in the country's history," Alberto Fernández's spokesperson began the message on Twitter.
"We know,
it hurts us, it occupies us
, how it affects daily life and each family," said the spokeswoman.
