This Monday night, after the successful presentation at the Book Fair, Myriam Bregman went through C5N and spoke with Alejandro Bercovich about his first book, Left. Among other things, Myriam pointed out that the presentation ended up being the most convening activity of the fair and that, in part, that is because “Milei turned the word ‘left -handed’ or ‘left -handed into an attack, an insult. It is like telling you’ garbage ‘. That generates an interest.”
Referring to Milei governmenthe said that it is a “Very large neoliberal offensive, conservative in its values, economic neoliberal“He added that” the frustration produced by Alberto Fernández’s government is still very valid: a government that had come with the illusion of fighting macrismo, to that other wild right – also with Patricia Bullrich repressing, as they repressed Father Paco a few days ago – you will remember, in the Plaza de los Dos Congresos. “
The Russian also said that “the first thing they tell me The people who read the book It’s’ Well, I’m leaving with fresh air, with pure air. I need to believe that this can end, that we are not in a decadent circle where we fall a little below, that you can get out of here. I believe that fighting the meekness, against resignation, generates a renewed interest. That is to say, interest in the ideas on the left.
In addition, he indicated that “there is a capitalism that, since 2008 in Argentina and in the world, it comes in a permanent, recurring crisis: more and more people fall into poverty, there is more and more arms, countries that vote to take social aid to dump those funds to the arms race, the war in central Europe again, conflicts, commercial war between China and the United States. Beyond the different conjunctures, there is clearly a commercial war. to interest the ideas on the left. ”
In addition, he referred to the ongoing political situation and the elections of the last Sunday: “In the case of Jujuywe made a very good previous election, which was when Alejandro Vilca left the national deputy. But there were three lists. They are now provincial elections. If you compare them with the previous provincials, the left improved: We arrived almost at the nine points, when we had been in seven and peak. Two deputies entered and we will have a block of five provincial deputies, something that is historical for that province. If you compare it with the National Congress, it is as if we had 27 deputies in the National Congress. ”
He also indicated that “there was an intention to say that on the left had gone wrong because what collapsed is Peronism, precisely. It seemed that ‘no one will win yesterday.’ That is what happened.”
Referring to ways to face the ultra -right He also pointed out that “If you want unity, come on, let’s start with the unit where, on the street, in the struggles and start there. The word unit is one of those words with a good press, right? You say unity, dialogue, they always fall well, but those words, if you put it in the context of what they want to propose, it is always that the left is the glue van of the project some other. The unit is that I support a guy like Sergio Massa, who now works on a vulture background. The unity is that I support Scioli, who then leaves. That is not unity, that is subordination, that is losing values, that is losing principles. ”
