In another section, Rossi maintained in the act that began at 10 a.m. and lasted until after 2 p.m., that “the debate is fine, but it is nice if you are in the opposition, we cannot be in a permanent debate, you have to lower the intensity “, and stated that if the differences remain, “that is what the PASOs are for.”
“Peronism-Kirchnerism are permanent categories. Why are we not convinced that we are Albertists? Because it is a definition that implicitly does not include Cristina, and why are we not convinced that we are Cristinistas today? Because it is a definition that implicitly does not include Cristina.” It includes Alberto. That’s why we prefer to be Peronists and Kirchnerists,” he said.
During his speech, he also stressed that “this President has had a pandemic and a war, it is a different context, and we know that there is concern about inflation, but we also know that unemployment fell to 7” and stressed that in “the four years of Macri never managed to lower unemployment”.

“There is an Argentina that recovered economic growth, that created employment, that lowered unemployment that seemed very difficult in 2020; it not only recovered but also had genuine growth in activity levels, in the industrial sector,” he said.
Woyecheszen said that “our political project has historically been very good at achieving alliances, some of the classes in the industrial sector, the organized Labor Movement, SMEs, to defend our ideas and the bad times in our society, to fight for the real income of people, to fight for a better distribution of income”.
In another part of his presentation, he remarked that “the great challenge for the future is that we can build a transformation agenda for what is to come” and he maintained that “we always talk about building, recovering and it seems to me that it is time to transform and that means sustaining economic growth”.
Meanwhile, the president of the block of the Front of all in Deputies pondered the meeting and stated that “today we not only have to jump the media fence, we also have to jump the comfort of social networks”.
“There are debates that we cannot give on WhatsApp, we cannot give it on Twitter, on Facebook, we have to give it in person, we need to meet to be able to generate the climate to be able to give the debate that we have to give,” Martínez concluded.
For her part, Tolosa Paz, who participated in a women’s meeting in San Rafael, in the south of the province, joined the event virtually and said that “not only are we working in each of the districts of Mendoza from very early on, but also defending what has been done at this time by Alberto Fernández and Cristina Fernández, and we all agree that this is the path that we have to travel united and united as Peronist comrades”.
William Carmonafor his part, emphasized “not problematizing” when one has to be part of the solution, affirmed that “we are here because we are part of the solution and not part of the problem, and the latter is what the opposition does” and maintained that “we are proud of our popular government”.
