Meat is more than a measure of value. Argentinawas once known as the land of cows. Consumption per capita remained at the lowest level of the last 100 years with 47 kilos in 2022. Together inflation threatening to pierce three digitsIt is believed that purchases at this level will continue to decline, as in an election year. In the absence of a good steak or the most popular beef roast, President Alberto Fernández’s Peronist government has just called for an open meeting at the National Agrifood Health and Quality Service (Senasa). to encourage the uptake vermin for protein potential.
Fernández won the election for boss Mauricio Macri, promising to win. return the roast meat to the tables, is also very difficult for popular pockets in 2019. Six months into the election and claiming the nutritional benefits of crickets, Peronism still has no candidate. Polls predict Historical defeat in elections. If forecasters are right, the fight for the Presidency will take place between the right grouped in the Together for Change coalition and the far right led by Javier Milei. An unprecedented situation.
This Fernandez’s dislikeIt offers unrivaled conditions, explained by the cost of poverty and economic adjustment that afflicts almost 40% of Argentines, where meat has become the exception, confirming the rule of difficulty for them (barbecue’s price has increased by 235% in three years). competitors, especially Together for Change. However, their main reference is a trap. unexpected infighting.
an unexpected fight
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, mayor of Buenos Aires and presidential candidate, challenged the leader of this industry, former president Mauricio Macri. There’s a family side to the fight: Macri decided to renounce his request for a second government, but as compensation he wanted his first cousin Jorge to be the only candidate for mayor. Rodríguez Larreta was an enforcer of his policies for years, and then, when the businessman jumped to the presidency in 2015, was left to the administration of the capital, which was the great springboard for the national Executive.. To the surprise of himself and outsiders, he ignored the call of the political boss and tried to show society a gesture of autonomy. What he did was to ensure that the position of the head of the capital’s government was dissolved on 13 August in the open, simultaneous and mandatory primary elections in October, in which all eligible parties must compete.
Rodríguez Larreta will bid that day for the right to become the Presidential standard-bearer for Together with Macri’s former Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, expressing the strictest positions of the Together for Change coalition. To defeat it, it needs the support of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), a century-old party that has regional power and is part of the coalition. The bargaining chip of this support was to get Martín Loustaeu to compete with Jorge Macri for the mayoral candidacy with a big chance of winning. Macri publicly expressed his disappointment. Together for Change entered a turbulent zone. The road to October is no longer full of roses.
fear to the right
Peronism hopes that Macri will eventually support Bullrich’s presidential dreams, and that this figure will allow him to polarize the electoral scene. Security Minister Aníbal Fernández stated that the applicant’s eventual government was only “one enormous pressure” And can cause “blood and death”“.
HE ‘horror to the right’ ghost For now, it doesn’t seem to have produced the results Peronizm expected. A recent poll by consulting firm Analogías shows that those frustrated by the disagreements between the Fernández family and the leaders of Together for Change are leaning towards Milei’s candidacy, for mixed reasons. neoliberal economist, advocate of free arms carrying and organ salesgets the highest percentage of votes among the youngest and most advanced in the 26-44 age range. It is not unlikely that Milei, who is currently preferred by 20% of Argentines in the voting position, will replace Peronism at this rate.
The leading businessmen of this country wanted to know what to do if they reach the Executive. “I want to blow up the Central Bank.“We have the same destructive ideas as Milei, but Experience,” he pointed out with the former president and Together for Change candidate. He predicted a second round between the devoted economist when he didn’t let go of his impulses and wanted to “squash” Rodríguez Larreta like an insect: Reading the Torah, the doctrinal text of the Jewish religion, accompanied by a rabbi.
