Alfredo De Angeli: “This situation brings back many memories, I hope we don't have to go back to 2008″

Alfredo De Angeli is remembered for his participation in the camp conflict against mobile detentions promoted by the government of Cristina Kirchner. He currently holds a seat in the Senate of the Nation representing Entre Ríos, and maintains links with the agricultural sector.

Today it joined a protest by producers in rejection of the measures to combat inflation announced last weekend by the government of Alberto Fernández. “This brings back many memories and I hope we don't have to go back to 2008. We're preventing the government, the president, from messing with the countryside. That he listens to us and that we work together with the sector,” he said in dialogue with this media.

On the decision to participate today in the tractorazo between the cities of Ceibas and Gualeguaychú, the senator commented: “I joined the mobilization of the countryside because I am from the countryside, I emerged from there and I know the potential that the countryside has to give Argentina. I have a commitment to the sector that I feel a part of and am completely identified.”

In today's protest, producers in southern Entre Ríos rejected the latest government measures and pointed out that the increased withholding of soy products, “we end up paying for producers and constitutes a further increase in the tax burden borne by those who produce the land.”

In addition, they declared a state of alert and mobilization, and asked the Liaison Table to set the date, place and time for a large call for producers in order to express the rejection of official policies. And they also sent a message to the opposition: to instruct their national legislators to raise their voices and give the debate demanded by the Argentine countryside to give certainty and predictability to agricultural activity.
