Less than a month ago, we commented in this space on the shameless attack by the national government to continue adding employees to the State plant despite the prohibitions in that regard imposed by the Minister of Economy himself. This is a practice that is also observed in provinces and municipalities that are in a hurry to “pay” relatives, friends and party loyalties with public positions before the current mandates end in December and in the event that the next government is of a different nature. contrary to the current one.
At that time, a resolution published in the Official bulletin realized that Sergio Massa He had rudely reversed his order to freeze vacancies in the State, by ordering “the process to fill 799 vacant and funded positions in the permanent staff of the Ministry of Economy.”
A few days later, an exhaustive survey by LA NACION, together with LN Data, based on the analysis of more than a thousand documents, updated and expanded the information, reporting a brutal acceleration of 200 percent in the transfer of workers to permanent staff since the last STEP. There were 924 appointments in the month before those elections to 2,766 in the month after. Sources in charge of these implementations also said that they had received specific instructions to speed up the procedures for the tenders.
Among the many absurdities committed by the authorities within an economic context whose gravity requires rational and austere decisions and not the regrettable festival of appointments that we are witnessing, it was learned that the current president of Banco Nación and author of one of the decrees freezing income in the State, dictated during his brief administration in charge of the Ministry of Economy, Silvina Batakishired his ex-partner Hector Javier Silva as Systems Manager and various family members in important positions within that financial entity.
Batakis also unilaterally assigned the bank’s general manager, Maria del Carmen Barrosa salary of almost nine million pesos, which includes prizes, bonuses and other benefits, as revealed by the television program PPT.
In another example of anything goes, it was Barros herself who managed to get Banco Nación to hire the numerologist. Veronica Laura Asadbetter known as Pitty, so that he could “couchera” her from her experience with the management of numbers to establish relationships between them, living beings and physical and spiritual forces, as Asad herself confirmed in journalistic statements, in which she acknowledged having worked for the national State, to whom he billed 1.8 million pesos for six months of work.
According to what was learned, after having requested a private consultation with the numerologist and being satisfied with the service provided, Barros offered her the contract under Banco Nación. “At first, he came to my office once a week. Then it became twice and finally three times. He asked me to do what I know how to do, which has to do with numbers. Through numbers, you can get different things. There is a number on the door of your house, on your cell phone, in the sky and everything can be used. We all vibrate through numbers: they give us energy. And we can advise ourselves through that energy,” Asad explained when asked about hiring her. The service that is offered and that any person can take or leave is not in question, but rather that it has been contracted with bank funds and for more than uncertain purposes.
Precisely, we are facing a double problem. On the one hand, of numbers, but not the ones that Asad analyzes, but rather those of a lost economy, which both Batakis and his successor Massa demonstrate that they cannot handle, allowing the country to continue falling to the bottom of the precipice and, on the other, of lack of ethics in the management of public issues.
It is clear that the end of the Kirchnerist era finds its leading exponents more concerned with covering their backs in the judicial and economic spheres than with solving the pressing problems that afflict the common citizen.
Whatever the next government, it must review all these abuses and cancel measures that, instead of providing solutions, are aimed at leaving a minefield for all Argentines.
No one doubts the urgency of reducing public spending. The time has come to put an end to the Government’s lies, to be honest about the situation and to look for solutions, accompanying high-sounding campaign phrases with concrete facts.
