Calamaro spoke out ahead of the runoff: “I’m tolerant and cultured, you’re lazy”

On the eve of the runoff between Sergio Massa and Javier Milei and in a context in which many institutions and well-known personalities are positioning themselves politically, the artist Andrés Calamaro said on his social networks that he will support the candidate of La Libertad Avanza.Through his Instagram account, he stated that “change for the sake of change in itself is an option that makes sense in our country… Since reality is far from perfect (it’s quite the opposite), that’s when a change makes sense and results in a desired choice.” “The opponents of change are not opposition, although they do not look favorably on the candidate of ‘no change’ either, they only assume or imply that it is a lesser evil by stirring up the fear of losing rights or privileges,” he added.

In addition, he pointed out that “the change discusses the exact number of ‘disappeared’ and proposes a liberal turn inspired by the Carlitos Decade. It proposes dismantling the Central Bank and a mixed system of financing public order issues such as health and education. Reducing ministries and secretariats, fewer officials,” and that, on the other hand, “the ruling party does not propose anything, it is the continuity with the illusion of a change that we do not know what it consists of.” He also explained that “many colleagues choose not to give their opinion and they are right, asking for a vote for a candidate or tendency is neither serious nor wrong, but a reverse vote or vote “of fear” is strange”.

And he concluded by assuring that “earning the applause of progressive Instagram makes me ashamed of how easy it is, too simple and stupid”, and that “I am tolerant and cultured, you are lazy, resentful, misguided and hypocritical. They believe in the Internet and television. They’re a meme, I’m a man. No more, no less.”
