Buenos Aires Security Minister Sergio Berni said in a conversation with Jonathan Viale that President Alberto Fernandez “asks for my resignation every day” because “he doesn’t like it when you don’t agree with him.” The official appeared at LN+ to talk about the new DNU and slipped: “Every time I say something where I disagree with him he asks for the resignation. Out there I collid with the government, I am a pro-government official because I know that there are destructive policies on the other side.” He added: “I know he’s angry with me, but I’m sorry. Politics is to generate consensus from different positions, politics is to do and not to say, politics is not to be complacent, Peronism is doer.”
What separates him ideologically from the president “is not something personal,” as he clarified, and after recalling the cabinet that made up Nestor Kirchner, he spoke out against the ministers accompanying Fernandez: “For me he lacks muscle, after no one gets angry. I remember Nestor Kirchner, discussions with men in politics… it was a cabinet with musculature. Today there is a lack of management.” On the other hand, he was asked about the possibility of being a candidate for governor of the province of Buenos Aires: “That should be decided by Cristina Kirchner together with Axel Kicillof. Argentina needs work, production, generating wealth and distributing it. We cannot delude ourselves into saying that because we distribute plan cards it is to fight poverty. I believe in work not in social plans,” he replied.
Finally, he was excited about this possibility, but anticipated: “Representing the interests of the Argentine people for any of us who carry that DNA marked by fire is an honor, but the truth is that the president annoys you when you do not agree with him.” He concluded: “I find it very difficult because I have many differences with this national government and I do not think I have that honor of representing the people of Buenos Aires.”
