translated from Spanish: Santiago Cafiero: “You can’t get a bed in CABA”

“You don’t get a bed in buenos Aires today,” Cafiero said in statements to Radio Diez and argued, “Many social or prepaid conurbano clinics start caring for porteños” because clinics in the City have no place. He noted that, “regardless of the discussion about statistics and numbers, there is a concrete reality: for 15 days if you need to get a bed in the city you have a problem, and that’s testimonial, it’s not statistical,” he said. You can’t put politics in the middle. There are people behind the statistics, there are families who are suffering. If the opposition doesn’t realize this, I find it very serious,” said the Chief of Staff, who mentioned the new works announced last week by President Alberto Fernández, pointing to adding 1400 more beds and another 400 intensive care units. In addition, he confirmed that the government will “take care of Argentines and Argentines, all of them,” and assessed that “it seems that there seems to be the difference.” We will be able to be held accountable, with successes and mistakes, we take great responsibility for the time that touched us and there will be others who will not be able to say the same thing,” he said. However, he accepted that “there are many things to explore,” but, he said, “if there’s one thing the government hasn’t done, it’s locking up and thinking it’s right about everything.” If there are things to correct, there is a willingness to do so. Many of the measures that were taken were to hear opinions,” Cafiero recalled, “what underlies and should be discussed in more depth is whether what happened in recent days will continue to accompany us in the management of the second wave,” in reference that “a part of the opposition decided to politicize the pandemic, deaths , vaccines.” In this sense, he considered that “a while ago it was a minority but today it seems to be majority that position” in Together for Change, which he did not mention directly, but the one who, he believed, follows the path of “judicializing health policy”.
“They celebrate that the contracts and deliveries of the vaccine are not those that were in the contracts and are delayed.”

For Cafiero, these sectors “see in the number of cases and in the number of deaths reason to celebrate”, but also “celebrate that the contracts and deliveries of the vaccine are not those that were in the contracts and are delayed.” These are very petty discussions, but unfortunately the opposition has taken that path,” he insisted.
