First of all, we greet and say goodbye from here to the Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works, Don Guillermo Ferraro, who has just been fired just 45 days after taking office.
We cannot say that we regret it because we do not know who this good man was, nor do we know what face he has, what he did to be appointed and, above all,
what he must have done to get him fired so quickly.
In favor of Ferraro, let's say that managing the Ministry of Public Works must not be easy.
Let us remember that his predecessor was Gabriel Katopodis, a boy who became world famous for being the first minister in Western history to declare a strike against himself.
The guy, being Alberto's minister, in 2023 called for "active strikes" among his own workers and, during the measure, he gathered them together and explained to them how good Alberto's government was and the importance of continuing with that success by voting for Sergio Massa.
There are videos of everything.
Not content with the self-strikes, so to speak, the guy also got on the trains and
wandered around the carriages asking for the vote for Massa
.
It didn't help them much.
Before the Katopodis administration and further back in time, during the Macri government, the Ministry of Public Works was directly eliminated and placed under the orbit of the Ministry of the Interior.
Strange things the Cat did.
That's how it went.
Prior to these latest ups and downs, the Ministry of Public Works (Ministry of Planning) was in charge of the world champion of public works: the architect Julio de Vido.
Unforgettable professional who did not stand out for having done any work of architecture, but for having
transformed so many humble and respectable people into millionaires
.
It was not only the priests of the Chamber of Construction who pocketed (literally), but they also linked other characters, later immortalized in the famous photocopies of Centeno's notebooks, that driver of Roberto Baratta, secretary of coordination and right hand of From Vido.
This brief story demonstrates once again that
the great capital that Milei has and his entire government are his predecessors
.
However, it is not a question of abusing the resource either.
Bad predecessors of an official are an advantage until that official joins the list of predecessors.
Let's write this down as a new
Golden Law of the Milei Era.
This simple historical tour of the Ministry of Public Works also helps us understand
why our country doesn't have a fucking route like people.
Nor do we have the rivers dredged as God intended, nor radars that control the airspace, nor trains, nor sewers, nor water, nor gas, nor anything.
Just a simple gas pipeline with which Alberto, Cristina and Massa
boasted as if they had built the Eurotunnel that crosses the English Channel.
The Milei government did not inform who will be the replacement for the fired minister but they have already announced that the Ministry of Public Works, as we know it, is being eliminated again and transformed into a Secretariat, now under the orbit of the Ministry of Economy, that is by Caputo.
Another winner.
The strange thing is that they add tasks to Minister Caputo who has just publicly told Deputy Pichetto that he is not going to attend Congress to explain the Omnibus Law because he has more important things to do.
In other words,
“I don't have time to waste on you,”
Caputo wanted to tell Pichetto that he must be one of the guys who knows the most about politics in this country and that on top of that he is trying to help him.
Caputo's thing is the classic canchereada that cool people who don't know about politics do when they get into politics.
How does Peronism react to all this?
With the same old joke.
Let's see.
Just as the US witnesses the madness of seeing former President Donald Trump, almost 78 years old, mocking Biden's 81 years, here the CGT and Peronism took to the streets shouting
“The Homeland is not for sale”
just a couple of decades
after Peronism sold everything.
When we say that Peronism in the 90s sold everything,
we are talking about everything
: YPF, Airlines, Entel (telephones), State Gas, Argentine Railways, Fiscal Coal Deposits, Sanitary Works (water), Segba (electricity), all the highways , the tolls, the television channels, dozens of radio stations, the ports, the airports, the shipyards, the complete retirement system, La Rural, the Zoo, the Hippodrome, all of Puerto Madero, the Post Office, the Petrochemicals, the Subways, Interbaires, Intercargo, various Military Factories, SOMISA (steel), almost all national and provincial banks and hundreds of other things.
If there is something hilarious in national political life, it is seeing a Peronist shouting “the Homeland is not for sale.”
At the same time, Peronism also pardoned Videla, Massera, Firmenich and other statesmen, which has nothing to do with the sale of the Homeland
but it is always nice to remember it.
The move of this new Peronist resistance against “the sale of the Homeland” was led by Héctor Daer and Pablo Moyano who proposed
throwing Minister Caputo into the Riachuelo
to the applause of the attendees, including human rights organizations.
Believe or burst.
If the event lasted one more minute, they were already asking for applause for Hamas.
Together and crying, Moyano and Daer claimed for the retirees.
It was time.
With Alberto and Cristina,
retirees lost 45% of their purchasing power.
It is seen that after having the upite closed for four years, they
finally achieved catharsis.
The opposition movement still lacks political leadership.
Cristina is hiding in El Calafate, Massa without a cell phone signal and Alberto in Madrid preparing the new scandal that will shake Kirchnerism
: where he lives, how he lives, where he moves, where he walks, how much money he handles, where he opened accounts, etc.
The first photos that arrive from there indicate that El Topo plans to continue destroying Kirchnerism until the last minute.
In the absence of political leadership, a certain Pepe Albistur would have temporarily taken command.
Another millionaire revolutionary who published a video sitting on a lounge chair on the beach, in leather, tanned, with a busarda and sagging tits, black glasses, bracelets and various chains on one wrist, something that looks like a Rolex Daytona on the other, eating popcorn with mouth open and announcing the imminent fall of Milei's government.
Not since Prince Rainier has something so refined been seen.
The image disoriented the justice system because
they don't know whether to put him in prison for being a coup leader or for being fat.
The proclamation that Albistur launched from Pinamar as part of the
resistance against the Milei dictatorship
did not include the new slogan “the Homeland is not for sale” for obvious reasons.
When Peronism sold everything, it also sold the street furniture that includes all advertising on public roads.
Who kept that?
Exactly,
the distinguished Pepe.
As you see, dear reader, the fun doesn't stop and Javi continues to enjoy the virtues of his predecessors.
Reflection: just as the Lion still likes to expose the opposition's antics, it would also be in his best interest to pay attention to those who throw him a rope.
Sooner or later he's going to need them.
We are in January.
Imagine in July.
