Acting in rural areas: more praise than demands between the government and the countryside – 28/07/2018

With words from encouragement and recognition of the field after being portrayed as "someone who comes from the Wet Pampas, where the countryside is the driving force". economy ", Gabriela Michetti, Vice President of the Nation, surpbaded with elegance and sympathy" the pride of being the first woman to inaugurate a rural exhibition in Palermo, which is going for its 132nd annual edition ". The host, Daniel Pelegrina, president of the Rural Society, had facilitated things a few minutes earlier, because although he had exposed some claims the speech of the representative of the field was basically of support to the economic policy of the National Government

After thanking President Mauricio Macri, who in his opinion "honors the commitments made in his election campaign", in a clear allusion to the progressive reduction of deductions – although he did not name them – Pelegrina thanked "the clear signs this allows us to sow with the same conditions that we can harvest later. "

However, despite the courtesies and their conciliatory imprint, the president of the SRA read, with pauses and a timely emphasis, one of the most important speeches The most critical thing with the government was when it said that "tax pressure suffocates", with which it has blinglyly blamed Macri, after almost three years in the office. Their complaints also pointed out "high interest rates that complicate investments" and the need to improve infrastructure. He even slipped a few darts towards Maria Eugenia Vidal's government, then that he was protesting against the rural land tax of Buenos Aires

When he said that "the state is not adapted to the productive reality of our country, we must broaden the base of taxpayers to spread the burden with more money". fairness, "garnered one of the most effusive applause. This corresponded well to the audience's expectation when he said that "a balanced budget must be achieved by increasing production and not damaging it with taxes."

Another strong definition was when he said "our property", in reference to the legal dispute that exists for the ownership of the property palermitano.

The rural people who listened in the box expressed clear support. Some former presidents of the entity, who were part of the Liaison Committee, such as Luciano Miguens and Hugo Luis Biolcati, celebrated their oratory.

Others, such as Fernando Canosa, director of the Rural and Technical Coordinator at the Meat Table, synthesized one of the sensations: "Today Daniel Pelegrina has been received as president", hinting at the fact that he was elected vice president of the entity and badumed the presidency when his predecessor, Luis Miguel Etchevehere, became minister of agribusiness. 19659002] However, the fundamental message of the leader Tambero was a strong defense of the sector that he represents. "Argentina is off the pitch," he said. He concluded, "We stand proud to be agricultural producers, with an eye on the future, aware of our responsibility to produce food for the world."

Michetti: "I come from the Wet Pampa"

Originally from Laprida, inside Buenos Aires, Michetti sought from the outset to generate empathy as a woman, while immediately noticing that "the love of the countryside does not distinguish genres". And he pointed out that "rural women represent more than a third of the population and are responsible for more than half of food production."

The most anticipated of his words was when he conveyed the message that Macri entrusted to him. "He asked me to tell them to keep working, never to lose that strength to produce, because we are on the right track and when the field grows, Argentina grows up."

All times, Michetti sought to imitate the good harmony that the president has with this economic sector even quoting from Macri. "You show us year after year that you can," he harangued.

And compared to the management Government, it focuses on the sector's policy: "We are here to help them grow, remove barriers and simplify procedures. We have reduced more than 1,400 tariffs, we want to help them be more competitive than never. "

Almost without direct criticism of the most" demanding "campaign that Michetti expressed was his argument that" we have only to continue with the policy of transparency, fighting against the ". informality in all productive chains, including that of meat. But this sentence was in the hands of others of a clearly commendable tenor, as "we have regained the place in the top ten of the largest exporters of meat but we must aspire to be on the podium of the top three ", which seemed more like a stimulus than" pulling ears. "

He did not mention the debated issue of the deductions. But he warned: "We continue to confirm that when the field is removed, it immediately shows everything it is capable of doing."

Without a doubt, the Senate Leader's conceptual thread was clearly on the positive line. "Argentines have better opportunities if we support each other, we can produce and export technologies," he suggested.
