Bronca, pessimism and mistrust after listening to …

The impact of almost everything that Mauricio Macri did after Sunday was very negative. More than half of the population believes that the president has not understood the message of the ballot box; the feelings he left after the press conference were mainly anger and pessimism; Six in ten say Macri is responsible for the rising dollar and six in ten believe the announced economic measures have electoral objectives and will not solve the problems. To make matters worse, a majority did not believe the excuses presented after the explosions of Monday's press conference.

The findings stem from a survey conducted by the Center for Studies of Public Opinion (CEOP), led by Roberto Bacman. In total, 1695 people from all over the country were interviewed, with respect for age, bad and socio-economic status. The interviews were telephone-based, so the data was even underrepresented among the young and the modest, two groups in which Fernández-Fernández obtained the greatest advantages over Macri-Pichetto. But the goal was to quickly investigate the fall of presidential movements after Sunday.

The data from the survey show that the approaches and messages of the ruling party were very false. The president left terrible feelings even among those who did not vote for FF. Just warn that in almost all issues, rejection levels are close to 60%, which indicates that they are well above the 47% achieved by the opposition formula.

As expected, Monday's press conference went very badly. The president went to court disillusioned and blamed the defeat and the increase of the dollar on the opposition, a bit like blaming the winning team when he lost by a win. Worse, there is a majority (54%) who think that Macri did not understand the message of the polls, ie that the president was still far from the reality of the families that n & # 39; Do not arrive at the end of the month, who can not pay the fees. , which suffer from the closure of businesses and businesses, among many other consequences of economic policy. "The blow was so hard and perhaps unexpected," says Bacman, "that the President's next day's reactions revealed that he and his government team were not ready for a defeat of such magnitude" .

In the government itself, they realized that Monday's press conference had made matters worse, to the point that nearly 68% of respondents said they felt a sense of anger (43% ) and pessimism (25%) after listening to a totally misplaced Macri. The number is significant because negative feelings add 20 points more than those who voted for FF. This press conference even stunned major Wall Street newspapers, mainly because it was perceived as out of touch.

The president-candidate's message, throughout his two interventions, was to blame FF for the dollar's rise and economic instability. He did not succeed. 59.4% said the government was responsible for the rising dollar, while only 28.4% blamed Alberto Fernández or Peronism.

On Wednesday, Macri tried to change the course of speech prepared, written and read on a prompter. The CEOP then aimed to ask if the change in discourse course was authentic, sincere. 54% did not believe Macri, that is to say that he felt that the excuses were not sincere.

Finally, there were the measures announced by the executive. And here again mistrust prevailed since almost 60% of them considered that they were measures for electoral purposes. Only 21% said the goal was to solve economic problems. These definitions are very serious for the government because they clearly lack credibility.

Worse still, almost 70% said that the measures taken were insufficient, which almost all the specialists also demonstrated.

The logical expectation of the citizens was to listen to the president alter his team, convey to him the tranquility, distance himself for a moment from the electoral question to pilot the storm. And they met an executive who is shouting war, who is running in desperate election and no one presumes that there has been an electoral defeat because the common people are bad.

Bacman badyzes the immediate future: "Everything seems to indicate that it is very difficult for this direction to come out of the labyrinth that they themselves have built with false promises that have generated truncated illusions.This is a bit of a metaphor of the self-fulfilling prophecy: they affirmed Argentina so that it does not become Venezuela.Today, they must fight against their own mistakes that produce an economic cataclysm for which they are responsible.
