the deputy Maria Eugenia Vidal participated this Thursday +interviewsthe LN+ program that every midnight conducts Luis Novaresioin which he analyzed the situation in the country, the crisis in the ruling party and also referred to the internal tensions due to the leadership of Together for Change around 2023.
“I laugh when they tell me that I made friends with [Mauricio] Macri to annoy him [Horacio Rodríguez] Larreta”, expressed Vidal, in the midst of the internal discussion of the main opposition coalition. “It is not that I have more relationship with one than with another, they are different links and already, at this point, historical,” he added.
The legislator commented recent anecdote with Horacio Rodríguez Larretato whom he sent a text message this Wednesday, July 20, for the Friends day, which led to an entertaining exchange. “He reminded me, to my regret, because it shows that neither of us are so young anymore, that it’s been 25 years being friends”, he recorded between laughs.
Meanwhile, Vidal pointed out that, in turn, he also communicated with Mauricio Macri. “We talked about the situation; we are both worried about what is happening, ”she recorded.
In this way, he sought to downplay the internal discussion. In the province of Buenos Aires, Vidal supports Cristian Ritondo as a candidate for governor, while Horacio Rodríguez Larreta supports Diego Santilli. In any case, he highlighted the relationship he maintains with both the former president and the head of the Buenos Aires government.
“Mauricio is my political father. I got into politics for the Pro. I have a great relationship with both of them, which is not interrupted by any nuance., small difference, or political discussion that there is. It goes beyond that, and that link has been sustained through time,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the deputy for the city of Buenos Aires once again distanced herself from the leader of “La libertad advances” and rejected his proposals. “I do not agree with the proposals of [Javier] mercy”, He remarked in another section of the interview. He once again dismissed the possibility of a rapprochement between Together for Change and the liberal armed forces.
In his analysis of the situation, Vidal considered that the country is going through “the worst crisis since 2001” and questioned in harsh terms the approach to economic problems. He also maintained that the Frente de Todos is a “cynical force” regarding the possibility of carrying out an agreement with the oppositionregarding a suggestion that it was attributed to Axel Kicillof.
“agree what? With who? With what guarantee of compliance?”, Vidal asked himself and added: “Today I don’t believe Kicillof”. The former governor maintained that her successor in La Plata “definitely” represents the thought of Cristina Kirchner. And she also criticized the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Serge Massa, who talks with sectors of the opposition. “It’s Kirchnerism“, he claimed.
Vidal argued that there is “cynicism” in the Government’s account and crossed the argument of the price rise as a result of the war in Ukraine, “when average inflation in the region is 10%”. He also questioned that “it is said that it is due to an import festival, when no SME knows if within the next few days it will be able to continue working.”
In turn, he alluded to the social protest, the discussion about the plans and the demands of the piqueteros movements. “Who invented the system of social organizations outsourcing plans? Is seriously. What political force are they? [Juan] Grabois and Aemilius Persico? That in addition to being in the streets, they occupy positions. Isn’t that cynicism?”, he wondered.
On the other hand, Vidal alluded to the perception of women’s bodiesan issue that led her to make a strong post in March. “The weight of hegemonic beauty is great”, affirmed the legislator and underlined that “there is misogyny in politics”, a situation that he also went through as a public person. “I suffered from depression. Don’t be afraid to say it”, he added.
In March, Vidal published a message in which he sought to reflect on the opinions that often surround the appearance of women. The deputy told her that she had “ups and downs” in her weight over the last few years. “All bodies are real and behind each body there is a person, who suffers and feels the pressure to comply with stereotypes.”, he said then.
