After Santi Maratea, who was the first guest of +interviewsthe brand new LN+ program that hosts every midnight Luis Novaresioit was the turn of social leader Juan Grabois.
The leader of the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (UTEP) pointed against the government of Alberto Fernandez whom he considered “a bad president” and maintained that Cristina Kirchner made a bad choice. “The disappointment is very great,” he said, and then he reflected: “I don’t know what I’m doing in the Front, I’m about to leave.”
“It is a failed project of the whole. There is Cristina, Sergio Massa and us too. Although I do believe that there are shared but differentiated responsibilities. The Executive Branch has a superior responsibility,” she stated.
The leader had already referred to the recent measures announced by the new Minister of Economy, Silvina Batakis, and had opined that “belief in measures of economic orthodoxy is at least questionable”. On this occasion, he returned to his statements and considered that the official’s announcements are “a reaffirmation of orthodoxy.”
“We do not see that the government is defending the interests of the majority, it is subordinated to the needs of the economic power groups and the assumption of Batakis, it seemed that it was going to be a more distributive policy, and it ended up being a reaffirmation of orthodoxy, that in Argentina never solved any problem”, he opined. And he argued: “I am referring to the subordination of the IMF, to the need to transmit calm to the markets and not to the people or to repeat phrases of the most absolute obviousness such as ‘the fiscal balance is positive’, instead of mentioning the people”.
During the interview program, which was broadcast starting at midnight, Grabois reaffirmed that on Wednesday of next week they will mobilize to demand social measures “according to the situation.” As he had anticipated, there will be assemblies in neighborhoods throughout the country to define actions.
At another time, the piquetero leader defended the figure of Cristina Kirchner in a week in which the oral and public trial against the vice president for illicit association and fraud in public works entered its final stage. “Christina is honest. She did not steal ”, Grabois said.
Also, questioned the opposition and referred to the leaders with greater relevance at this time. On the one hand, he pointed to Patricia Bullrich for being “a violent one” and harshly criticized Javier Milei for being “a guy who lives in the world of ideas.”
Surprisingly, when asked who he would vote for in a possible internship between Macri and Larreta, Grabois played it: “I vote for Larreta.”
Finally, he defended the social movements in the midst of the bid for the management of the plans. “They don’t steal,” the leader assured.
