The national representative elected by the Left Front, Myriam Bregman, participated in Ángel de Brito’s program on the Bondi channel, where she led the most urgent discussions of national politics after the result of the legislative elections last Sunday. “It is the first time that the left is the third force in the elections, at the same time in the City and Province of Buenos Aires, it is a striking and historic fact,” said the host during the interview with Myriam Bregman.
With his direct style, Bregman did not avoid any topic: he spoke of the neglect of the left during the campaign and in the balance of the elections, of the prejudices to the left that are installed “from above” but that receive a lot of recognition in the street, of the reasons for the great election of the left in Province and City of Buenos Aires. remaining as the third force, he analyzed the electoral results at the national level, the role of the opposition and the challenges that workers and popular sectors face in the face of the economic crisis.
Some of the most important definitions left by the interview:
Asked about the prejudices that fall on the fact of being left-wing or “left-handed,” she responded that: “The prejudice left by a ferocious military dictatorship in our country, where whoever fought for another society became “subversive,” or “terrorist,” and that later continued to be fueled by years of neoliberalism. And sometimes the attacks come from people who are supposed to be progressive, or who call themselves national and popular, going so far as to invent something like “the troska photo,” saying that we go to the mobilizations to beat us. A colleague of mine lost the vision in one eye due to the repression in Plaza Congreso. Who could want that?
On the street it happens to me that some kids who voted for others ask me if they can take a photo with me because they admire me anyway. “This reflects that very different things happen below than the polarization that they promote from above, and I also see it with Nicolás del Caño when we toured the Province, in neighborhoods and universities in the suburbs.”
When asked why Milei won, Bregman pointed out that “Peronism did not have a sweeping election in September, but rather it was very even in number of votes with previous ones, and La Libertad Avanza had been and continues to be affected by the disability scandal, it lost a lot of votes from young people, but it won in other sectors. I think that now the discussion now took place in the economic field, Trump’s extortion worked, that in Argentina there have been outbreaks and the popular sectors have a very bad time, so to say “Hey, if you don’t vote for La Freedom Moves forward, everything explodes” is an enormous coercion. They voted for stability, very conservative, but it does not mean that it is a blank check for Milei to move forward now with whatever he wants, it would be a big mistake that already happened to Macri.”
