You heard it in Don’t Sleep
On “No Te Duermas,” Luis D’Elía, a leader of the Partido de la Matanza, shared his perspective on Milei’s government
At the beginning of the interview, the political leader expressed his opinion on the remarks made by Ricardo Quintela, the governor of La Rioja, about a potential impeachment trial for Javier Milei: “I agree with the mood. It reminds me a lot of the early moments of December 19 and 20, 2001. There is a lot of popular discontent. I live in the Altamo settlement, block one, lot eight. On Sundays, the municipal fair number ten is at my doorstep, and I was having mate at the fair last Sunday.”
“I can guarantee that what people are experiencing is hellish. There’s a mix of sadness, anger, and pain when you can’t even eat. It’s something very, very intense. And I think the end is near, both in the streets and in the state’s superstructure because, based on the 2001 experience, these things accumulate.”
“I say it everywhere. In 2001, there were people, well, there were 38 deaths, there were street incidents, but it wasn’t like it is now. Having two criminals like Milei and Patricia Bullrich who are willing to kill 10,000 Argentinians if necessary. That’s why we need to approach things with great intelligence and tact. I believe there will be serious problems in the conurbano, and I’ll give you an exclusive. I think La Matanza will again be the center of that protest,” he declared.
Upcoming Protests in the Buenos Aires Conurbano
Regarding potential protests in the Buenos Aires province, D’Elía explained: “It’s a territory they don’t control because the Buenos Aires governor didn’t sign Bullrich’s protocol. Bullrich can only act here with a judge’s order and federal forces. For example, in La Matanza, there are two federal judges. I’m sure one of those judges will never order repression or the use of force.”
“When we start an indefinite roadblock, on the third or fourth day, with cameras and media broadcasting nationwide, the country will become a powder keg. I believe thousands of Argentinians will take to the streets. You can repress when it’s just a few. The problem is when you have thousands in the streets. What will happen to this person we have as president? I think by the end of September or early October, there will be significant movements here,” he argued.
The Example of Balestrini and Hatred Towards Some Leaders
“Today Alberto Balestrini is no longer with us, but I want to remember him because I think Balestrini was a genius. Today in that place, there’s a parish called San Cayetano. Also, Balestrini used to joke about those times and said, ‘I’m going to build a couple of ramblas because the agreement for widening Route 3 was signed during that protest. Do you remember? Balestrini said, I’m going to make two wide ramblas so that protests can be held, and they will never be able to clear them.’ Well, there are the parishes, the two ramblas. The ramblas and the parish are the invention of a mayor who thought 20 years ahead. Wonderful, thank you, Balestrini, wherever you are.”
Additionally, Luis D’Elía shared his opinion on Milei’s voters: “The majority voted for this government. Unfortunately, I say this with great sadness. Of the 1.3 million beneficiaries of social plans, 90% voted for Milei out of hatred. Hatred towards Pérsico, Grabois, Bogoloni, the guy who charged 5,000 or 10,000 pesos for each plan every month. That generates hatred among the poor. When you rob a poor person to do politics at their expense, that’s what happens. With the rise of Macrismo, there were two types of leaders. Those who didn’t make deals with Macri and went to prison. And those who made deals and were given 600,000 plans, everything that was taken from us since Duhalde’s time.”
“We ended up in prison and had our organizations plundered. We need to look at these reasons to understand why people voted for Milei. It’s the hatred towards these damned leaders who made deals with Macri. And today, if they could, like Grabois, they would also make deals with Milei without any problem,” he added.
“Today, the figures from Kirchnerism who appear are finished. Cristina still says the alternative is Kicillof, which isn’t bad. Kicillof is a good guy, a good leader, but he has a flaw. He’s incapable of setting limits to Cristina. Today, Cristina dreams of Mayra Mendoza being a candidate for governor of Buenos Aires, her son as the president of the Justicialist Party, and filling the list with Camporista members. Look at the lists from La Cámpora that entered; there are a lot of scribes, for example, whose identities we don’t even know,” he concluded.
