Jorge Lanata: “Alberto, it was to lower prices and increase pensions, not the other way around”

Jorge Lanata analyzed this Sunday, November 15, the news retirement formula promoted by the government, questioned economic policy and raised last change of cabinet by Alberto Fernández.

“This week, the government continued its policy of borrowing in dollars, reducing retirees and social assistance. And increase taxes, ”said the journalist during his traditional Sunday monologue.

“To vary, the worst will be taken by retirees. Macri’s formula, corrected for inflation and suspended since the start of the year, will be replaced by a formula similar to Cristina’s, but worse, ”added the driver of Journalism for all (The thirteen).

In this sense, Jorge Lanata explained that the increase would be “50% by the collection of ANSES and 50% by the variation in salary.” And especially with a ceiling. In other words, if the country does badly, retirees will do badly; and if the country does well and becomes a world power, retirees will also hurt, ”he reproached.

Jorge Lanata: “They broke the bullets with the ‘stay at home’ and now they are going to cut your electricity”

“They’re also going to adjust rates, they’re going to cut ATP, and the IFE was cut in 3, like the Matrix saga,” he said, and said: “Plus, inflation in October was 3.8%; the most dump of the year. Alberto was to lower prices and increase pensions, and not the other way around. “

Cabinet changes

“Among the” officials who do not work “, as Cristina’s letter said, the first has already jumped: María Eugenia Bielsa, Minister of Territorial Development and Housing, who no longer has” housing “in Cabinet, “he quipped.

And he underlined: “As Jorge Fernández Díaz said: ‘When he was replaced, we could be replaced by a minister who was a baron of the suburbs, and it was horrible. A Chavista could touch us and it was more horrible But we had one which is both! ” As for the Instituto Patria, it was not enough, now we had one of the ‘Instituto Patria Bolivariana‘”.

Pandemic

Lanata also spoke about infections and deaths from covid-19 in the country. “Last week we passed the United States in deaths per million population and this week Bolivia, Chile and Brazil, and we were only below Belgium, Peru and Spain,” said the reporter.

And he added: “As the government has no achievements to show, it keeps saying it will vaccinate in December, that is to say in two weeks. When December arrives, what will it do? ? Wait until April 28, April Fool’s Day. ” .

Lanata and the Russian vaccine: “Will we be guinea pigs behind a K company?”

On the possible logistics operation of the vaccination, he said that “Alberto’s promise is unlikely to be kept start in December, but, beyond the date, the preparation of the campaign is underway “.

The vaccine

He also said the government has started to develop an app to track vaccine traceability. “The idea is for people to lower the device to check that they are putting in the required two doses. So after ‘Caring’ and ‘Caring for summer’ another app comes along. Will it be ‘Vaccinate’?”

Finally, he analyzed the scope of the government’s action. “They are calculating a massive campaign for 30 million people. That makes a total of 60 million doses. They will not all arrive together, if not as they get hold of the stock. It will be in stages and the vaccination will last several months, ”he explained.
