The president of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), deputy Alfredo Cornejo, showed another profile of his usual stiff and sober grin and in a relaxed, militant and live interview from the Twitch of Together for Change, he did not lack political definitions : called the president “unrecognizable” Alberto Fernandez. But also was allowed to play. And even sing a hit by Cristian Castro.
“They told me that you’re a very competitive guy, that you don’t like to lose anything,” he said. Rosendo Grobocopatel, the streamer driver, who is the son of the middle of the agricultural businessman, Gustavo Grobocopatel. It was there that, before the affirmation of the politician, he invited him to play “office basketball“.
The goal was put a ball in a basket of garbage. He first competed against one of the boys from the behind the camera but, in the face of parity, it was Grobocopatel who won and imposed a pledge on him: call a UCR leader and compromise it to participate in Twitch this Sunday of the elections. It was there that Cornejo accepted his defeat and sent a WhatsApp audio to Martín Lousteau.
Then it was the turn of the true False, where they asked him something and he had to answer. The first question was in a comedic tone: “They say that if three radicals come together, three internal lines are already formed”, to which he answered true: “It is an excess of democracy“Cornejo joked.
Alfredo Cornejo sang “Azul” with the son of businessman Gustavo Grobocopatel. Photo capture.
But the second statement left the foot for political analysis. To the affirmation “the Government does not have a compass”, he also responded with a “true absolute”. Then it led to a personal appreciation of President Alberto Fernández.
Cornejo: “Alberto is a person without authority”
Game goes, game comes, the radical got serious. d “I have talked with him, but not during these two years, that is unrecognizable. He is a person without authority, unauthorized by all this process, “shot Cornejo.
And followed. “Without a project, without a program; he, adrift and the country, adrift. Cristina (Kirchner) is the one who guides ideologically, that is, she will not be in the details, but she is the one who guides him. It is because of her that we do various stupid things which are ideological: delayed vaccine purchases from Russia, China, because of their ideology is that we are isolated from the world, “he analyzed.
“Alberto and Cristina are two irresponsible. They joined by power alone, they have no coincidences between them, so we are on edge about what is going to happen, “he said about what awaits the country after the elections next Sunday.
However, it showed a hope for the president. “I think Alberto Fernández is going to have the chance to be a statesman, to say ‘I don’t have reelection, I’m ready and I’m going to do what I have to do in Argentina.’ Our constitutional design allows him to carry out a sensible economic policy. I don’t know if you have the wood to do it“, he conditioned.
He had previously spoken of insecurity, without referring particularly to the events in Ramos Mejía, which shocked public opinion after the murder of the Roberto Sabo kiosk last Sunday.
“If you want to lower the crime, you have to be tough in the sentences, but smart, the state, in the sanction. And agile in the administration of justice. If you really want to lower the crime you have to deprive the most violent people of their freedom, which are those who use weapons, “he estimated.
“Irreversible crimes, homicides, are carried out with weapons. We gave the instruction to the Public Prosecutor’s Office that they remain detained until they are brought to trial. That fact made us pass from 4,000 deprived of liberty to six thousand and something“, said the ex-governor of Mendoza.
Of his radical lineage he said that it was something he inheritedIn his view, “all traditional parties have some historical heritage.”
“I think Peronism and conservatives also had it at the beginning of the last century. The passion for politics was inherited and is now more genuine for the better, I think. Twenty-seven years of democracy make people more loose and independent, and not so much influenced by the family, “he estimated.
He also left space to explain why in Mendoza governor cannot be reelected. “But neither is his wife, his children, anyone. They are constitutionally prohibited from doing so. It cannot happen like in Santiago del Estero that the governor leaves his wife. That is forbidden, “he said.
As he said, it is because when the 1916 provincial constitution was enacted “the families of that time fought among themselves and many obstacles were put for what they will not leave their relatives… that’s the origin. “
“It’s a wise rule on the one hand, perpetuity is lousy. But in a country that has so many alterations in its macroeconomy, it does not allow us to see which are the good governors, if it was a time of economic recession, and which are the bad ones. There should be a term of office with the possibility of re-election, but only one, eight years maximum, “he considered.
Failed radical karaoke
But the climax of the Twitch broadcast did not come from his days as governor, nor from his political opinions. Came when Cornejo had to sing, or to be generous, try. The radical did not remember the lyrics of Blue, he was shy and barely babbling Cristian Castro’s hit. And he did not stop wobbling the chair that contained him. Threw two “blue” out of time and it did not shine in the contest.
“This is going to go down in history”, anticipated to qualify the streamer Grobocopatel. It was not so wrong but, for the radicals, History sometimes it can be winding.
