Santiago Cafiero, Chief of Staff, remarked society’s accompaniment to the measures being taken in the framework of social isolation by coronavirus and argued that the national government “is willing to pay all political costs to save lives.”
Following Friday afternoon announcements where quarantine was reported to be stricter as of July in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA), Cafiero acknowledged that there are “expressions of tiredness”. In turn, he explained that “there is an acceleration in the circulation of the virus and experts advise us to take these measures”: “They are difficult because the pandemic affects people’s economy, but we have to take care of life.” In dialogue with radio El Destape, Cafiero stated that “Argentine society is accompanying the measures that are being taken and does not necessarily accompany the Government, but that there is a family and social responsibility to the pandemic.” Even anti-quarantines use cover-head,” the chief of staff said, noting that the “axis where President Alberto Fernandez puts centrality is on people’s care and that’s why we’re willing to pay all the political costs to save lives.”
