"Nuestro primer mandamiento es Cristina Libre, Milei gobierna porque ella está presa"

The Secretary of Community Development for General Rodríguez, Mariana Balbi, offered a stark assessment of the social situation, blaming Javier Milei's government for the rise in hunger and reaffirming Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as the leading political figure of Peronism. She also praised Mayor Mauro García's administration and defended the unity of the local ruling party in the face of political challenges. Key Points Milei: "This economic model brings hunger" Balbi argued that the food crisis goes beyond a lack of food and encompasses the erosion of basic rights. "This economic model of Milei brings hunger. It's not just about not having a plate of food, but also about not having medicine, healthcare, jobs, or the ability to meet basic needs." She also criticized the cuts to social programs and the withdrawal of national aid. "Until 2023, we received truckloads of supplies from the national government. All of that was cut off, and today we maintain assistance with municipal resources and support from the Province." According to the official, the national government is also promoting a process of social fragmentation. "This model leads to individualism. Before, organizations won collective rights; today, each resident has to go alone to ask for help." Cristina: "It's essential that she be free" Balbi defended the slogan "Free Cristina" as a political statement, not just a legal one. "For us, it's essential to have Cristina free because we see her as the possibility of governing this country again." She also explained her generational connection to Kirchnerism. "I came to know Peronism through Néstor and Cristina. Thanks to them, I believed in politics as a tool for transformation." Mauro García: "He's thinking about the growth of General Rodríguez" The secretary highlighted the direction of the municipal administration led by Mayor Mauro García. "Mauro prioritizes health and education. He's thinking about the development and population growth of General Rodríguez."
