Buenos Aires, Feb 1 (NA) By Darío Lopérfido – Milei has a reputation for being disruptive, but after two years, we can see that he behaves like any other Argentine politician. As learned from the Argentine News Agency, when things are going well for him, he becomes histrionic, singing with Chaqueño Palavecino or putting on that lamentable show with Fátima Flores. When he had difficult moments, he stayed in the background. The issue is to analyze whether, when he morphs into a showman, he benefits in terms of public opinion. I believe he does not; when he does that, he is only speaking to his fans and no one else. In Argentina, many people are struggling and do not appreciate the president partying. It would have been more edifying if he had been in Patagonia, which is suffering from wildfires, and explaining his policy on this environmental problem. There is something frivolous that links Milei to Menem, and it is always worth remembering that Menem was the king of mambo and ended up in the Senate as an old man to have immunity and not go to prison. Argentina always has the problem of excess. Milei feels that his artistic whims are of public interest and only hides them when problems arise. The other issue is what it means for things to be going well in Argentina for the president to embark on a summer artistic tour. Argentina remains a country with countless problems, making it absurd to think that everything is fine. Poverty remains enormous, education is in decline, security is a concern, and corruption has not been eradicated. Comparing Argentina to any minimally developed country is still absurd, even if we have been spared another Kirchnerist government. Milei would gain a lot by adopting a humble and understanding stance towards the problems of Argentines. Another thing that brings back memories of Menemism is the idea that problems disappear if you don't name them. 'The ignored reality always prepares its revenge,' said Ortega y Gasset, and it is a phrase that applies to all governments. Moreover, it involves a great irresponsibility on the part of rulers to believe that problems cease to exist if they are not mentioned. In Argentina, the government talks about the economy and barely mentions other issues. One understands that the economy was a time bomb after Massa, but two years have passed, and it is time to talk about all issues. For some reason, surely attributable to Milei, ministers do not speak, so only Milei speaks, and he only talks about the economy, and the result is that the image that remains is of the president singing and Patagonia burning. Rulers should never think that things are going well for them. Government is not a competition, and problems appear and linger, and it is the duty of rulers to address them and explain to citizens what they are doing in each area. There are many examples, and the one regarding retirees with contributions is one of the clearest. The situation is terrible for that sector, and no one explains the policy for people who are having a very hard time. Two years is a prudent time for diagnoses. The government must implement a mechanism for explaining its policies.__IP__Finally, it is a matter of being accountable to the people, who are the ones who delegate power to rulers. Special for the Argentine News Agency.
