The government continues to seek to leave behind the stir that was generated from the images that emerged from the birthday of the president’s wife, Fabiola Yáñez, at the Quinta de Olivos, on July 14, 2020. This time, the one who spoke out again about it was Santiago Cafiero, the cabinet chief, who said: “I don’t think it was a crime.” Not only for the government it is a finished issue, but for the whole of society. The people’s heads are elsewhere and the reputation of a government and a president is not at stake in a photo,” the official told Radio Mitre.
In this regard, he remarked that the president “did not hide, he apologized,” and he considered that in the media the situation “is totally oversized.” In addition, Cafiero took aim at several opposition actors for attending Elisa Carrio’s birthday, celebrated at the end of last year. “Are you going to apologize?” the official asked, referring to the head of the Bloc of Junto por el Cambio in Deputies, Mario Negri, the pre-candidate of Juntos por el Cambio Province of Buenos Aires, Diego Santilli, and the Head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.On the other hand, Cafiero maintained that the national government can “show with concrete testimonies that this is the way forward and that it is moving forward.” and said that there was a double crisis: one originated in The Macrism and another in the coronavirus pandemic.
