In an interview with GEN, the former minister Lea Giménez harshly questioned the presidential Ephraim Alegre for his campaign proposals with a view to the elections next April.
“It is really unfortunate. Scare what is proposedtakes advantage of people’s desperation to make crazy populist proposals which, if implemented, could lead to a crisis in the country,” he warned.
Fee Reduction
Giménez argued that Alegre erroneously proposes to supposedly reduce the electricity rate, when in practice that situation is almost impossible. “Efraín is lying, there is no way to reduce, or he can’t count on what he will finance with a higher tax. This proposal is dangerous from whichever way you look at it, ”she launched.
On the other hand, the ex-minister highlighted that ANDE’s management can be improved through hard work over many years and that this would allow for a minimal decrease in costs and consequently in the rate.
However, he reiterated that the current rate covers the operating costs of ANDE, an institution that is not in a good financial situation and also needs to improve its management and increase its investment in infrastructure.
Regular prices of the family basket
The interviewee described it as pure and hard populism when the presidential candidate promises to guarantee the prices of the basic family basket, while in practice the National Constitution does not allow price control. “That price control policy does not work because it is tremendously negative for the economy. It makes no sense and threatens the productive sector, it is another crazy proposal, ”he lashed out.
Eliminate entrance exams
Efraín also came up with this populist idea, that of eliminating university admission exams to pretend to talk about inclusion, according to Lea Giménez. “This gentleman plays with people when raising these things. I hope this man knows that the message he sends was disastrous,” he insisted.
Eliminate school food
Thus, he also considered that it is disastrous to propose the elimination of school food, because the Constitution makes the State responsible for the protection of children from abandonment and malnutrition. “It is a basic question, it is to guarantee food for children and it is not to give money to families,” she remarked.
Finally, he questioned the silence of the Efraín Alegre duo, Soledad Nunezbefore these proposals. “Surely you want to enter a hole and not come out. The one who is quieter is her duo”, he pointed out.
