Buenos Aires, January 25 (NA) -- By Darío Lóperfid for the Argentine News Agency. The government is dedicated to showcasing positive economic figures. It is true that there is a fiscal surplus and inflation has decreased. There are also many people on vacation. These figures contrast with the drop in supermarket consumption and the destruction of jobs in some sectors. Investments in productive sectors are slow to arrive. It is true that ordering some variables was essential after the disaster left by the last and nefarious government led by Alberto Fernández, Cristina Kirchner, and Sergio Massa. Maintaining that pace would have led to disaster. What is already visible are signs of who is benefiting and who is suffering with this model. The poor receive welfare benefits and benefit from lower inflation. High-income people benefit from the cheap dollar; you can see them traveling abroad and buying things. The sector suffering the recession is the middle class, which sees that money is not enough, and many small and medium-sized companies collapse and jobs are lost. Two years after the start of the government, one sector is paying with adjustment for the well-being of another. It is time for there to be policies and explanations for the middle sectors so that they know when economic growth will arrive. It is a scheme similar to Menem's convertibility, where some sectors benefited and others were postponed. The other issue is that the fiscal surplus implies that there are no public works. Saying that in Argentina they stole in public works and that is why it was cut is a nonsense. Public works must be done and not stolen. There are no national public works. In 2008, during a world economic crisis, there were countries, like Spain, that could do without public works because their infrastructure was impeccable. The roads, trains, bridges, and everything that makes up the infrastructure in Argentina is a calamity. There are completely preventable accidents. Public works save lives. Look at Spain: now, with a socialist government, they dedicated themselves to corruption and not paying attention to infrastructure, and this week we had to lament railway accidents that cost more than 40 lives. __IP__The government has to explain these issues. How it will restore the income of the middle sectors and when it will start doing works for the people. It's fine to celebrate achievements, but you also have to explain the shortcomings. Governing is explaining.
