The government of Javier Milei He pointed this Monday against the judge Sebastian Casanellowho had ordered the distribution of food collected in two warehouses in Buenos Aires and Tucumán, and announced that This Monday the distribution will beginbut it will be limited only to those who are close to winning.
From the Ministry of Human Capital, headed by Sandra Pettovello, they harshly targeted the magistrate. “We are not going to allow that militant judges tell us how to design or execute a public policy,” said the legal undersecretary of the ministry, Leila Gianniin dialogue with LN+.
In turn, the official denied that there was expired food and anticipated that tomorrow they will present the arguments for which the Government appealed the precautionary measure of the magistrate whom she is now questioning.
Meanwhile, in his usual press conference, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, confirmed that the distribution of food will begin this Monday, although he clarified that Only those that are close to their expiration date will be distributed.
“Today the distribution began, today the first shipment left. Always in the logic of foods that have a close expiration date,” declared the spokesperson during his usual morning press conference.
Adorni clarified again, as he did last week, that the food had a destination other than to be distributed as part of food assistance programs.
“Food intended for other purposes will not be distributed.. Because the distribution of food to soup kitchens and vulnerable people is going through another route, through another program, through another channel that has nothing to do with these warehouses that became so famous in the last ten days,” the spokesperson explained, in reference to the warehouses located in the Buenos Aires town of Villa Martelli and in Tafí Viejo, in Tucumán.
“The minister never thought about resigning”
In line with what happened on Sunday, when first with a tweet and then in a radio interview, Milei came out to publicly support Pettovello and then the Cabinet ministers – from Luis Caputo to Mariano Cúneo Libarona, to Diana Mondino – joined that support. to Luis Petri -, Adorni denied that there was a presidential order behind that initiative.
“With respect to the public support for the minister, it was absolutely genuine. The President did not give us any collective indication and he would be far from doing that,” he said.
“What is not fully understood is that we are a very united team and the President effectively understands, as we all understand, that every day we fight against corruption, every day we fight against the worst baseness that a human being can do – that In the case of Sandra Pettovello’s ministry, it is playing with the food of those who have less – the truth is that if we are not all together and we do not support each other, of course it is a very difficult situation” added the spokesperson.
And he justified the support that the head of Human Capital garnered among her peers: “It is reasonable that when a minister has a problem of such magnitude as the one that Minister Pettovello is having by virtue of dismantling this corruption scheme, it is reasonable that everyone Let’s go out and support her.”
Finally, Adorni denied that Pettovello was close to leaving office. “She was never, ever about to resign. I have spoken with her these days and she never thought about resigning. Despite not being able to understand what we are encountering along the way every day that we advance in the organization of Argentina,” said the spokesperson.
