The usual press conference on Thursdays Gabriela Cerruti in Casa Rosada he became awkward from the start for the questions that the spokesperson had to answer regarding Máximo and Cristina Kirchner, for the internal ones within the Frente de Todos.
At the start, one of the journalists wanted to know the position of the Government on the statements of the deputy and son of the vice president, but the spokeswoman cut him off.
“The Presidency has other concerns and does not answer or comment on statements. Thank you very much for the question,” was the response and went on to the next question.
The journalistic query responds to the fact that days ago the president of the Buenos Aires PJ spoke of the internship in the ruling party during a union act held in Merlo, west of the suburbs, accompanied by Governor Axel Kicillof, at a headquarters of the Truckers union.
Máximo’s message criticized the loss of purchasing power, in the midst of the Government’s supposed “war” against inflation, and remarked “that governing is not blowing and making bottlesHowever, Cerruti avoided answering.
During the round of questions from the press, another journalist wanted to know his answer to the Chicana that Cristina Kircher dedicated to him last Saturday, when in an act for Malvinas he said that he gave a book to Alberto Fernández for his birthday. “So that later the spokeswoman (for Cerruti) doesn’t say that she didn’t give her anything for her birthday,” was the Chicana of the vice president.
Given this, Cerruti responded at the conference this Thursday: “It was a joke. I have known the vice president for many years. I know her humor, with which I took it as a joke. We share sarcasm and a sense of humor.” .
In addition, he spoke of the book ‘Diary of a season on the fifth floor’, by Juan Carlos Torre, on the economic policy of Raúl Alfonsín, which the vice president gave Alberto and took the opportunity to rule out the possibility of hyperinflation, which precipitated the exit of the government of the radical president.
“There is no risk of hyperinflation”was the brief answer to the question about a possible hyper.
Then, he affirmed that the Executive does not consider the lack of dialogue between the President and the vice president to be a problem. And he stressed that tables are being held with the political sectors of the government coalition, with the opposition in Congress and with economic and social sectors.
criticism of the city
As is also customary in press conferences from the Casa Rosada, Cerruti took advantage of the time when she was questioned about the social conflict and the pickets to send a message to the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
“We believe that the solution is not to occupy the street. But we tell the head of government that it is the City of Buenos Aires the one that generated less employmentaccording to INDEC, and it would be of great help so that there are fewer cuts that generate employment and improve conditions,” said the spokeswoman.
The Pope’s letter
Another of the uncomfortable moments of the conference this Thursday was when the spokeswoman responded regarding the letter that Pope Francis sent to President Fernández, where he asked “suitable solutions to the problems of the Argentines”.
Cerruti sought to get out of the Vatican’s claim to the lack of attention to the problems of the most vulnerable people in the country, in the midst of the inflationary crisis and rising prices.
“The Pope’s letter was an affectionate letterwarm, which the President of the Nation thanked, because the letter responded to one from President Fernández who spoke to him about the situation in Argentina, the pandemic, the war, those issues that go through all of humanity,” Cerruti said.
However, the letter from the Supreme Pontiff urged the president to “work for the common good and seek adequate solutions to the problems that afflict, in particular, the weakest and most marginalized.
The presidential spokeswoman insisted on emphasizing that the content of the text was taken as “affectionate” and that the dialogue between the Head of State and the Pope is “fraternal”.
