Criticism of the Liaison Table: “Now we’ll see how to collect the shards”

“It is unfortunate that the Liaison Commission did not continue the march because this is the opportunity to stand firm against the claim, but there are those who have understood that they do not need to be there and will now see how they collect. the splinters will no doubt be distributed everywhere, “he said in speaking to Rural bugle the vice president of the Argentine Rural Confederations (CRA) Gabriel de Raedemaeker, regarding the Liaison Table’s lack of official participation in Saturday’s tractor attack in the city of Buenos Aires.

Prior to the event, due to questions raised by groups of self-convened producers, they had already explained from within the union entities that there was no joint institutional participation in the march because there was no consensus, more than the fact that some regional entities and representations if they are present.

According to the director of the CRA, one of the entities that are part of the liaison table, this space needs to “look deep inside, identify the mistake, apologize to the producers for not recognizing that need to sprout in the interior of the country and develop a re-launch, otherwise it will be very difficult to regain the accompaniment and trust of the producers. ”“ A humble request for an apology was imposed, there was only a misunderstanding, ”he said. he about Raedemaeker.

I am not at fault

But among the union leaders in the countryside there are differences at this point. “If they are to demand respect for the division of powers and institutions, they must understand that we have institutionality and organization that must be respectedand not having a majority to join the march, we cannot join ”, said Carlos Achetoni, president of the Argentine Agrarian Federation (FAA), another of the entities that make up the liaison table.

He then added: “I don’t have to make mea culpa or apologize for anything, if they were also the producers who asked us to step away a bit to march, and we told the promoters to do it together and they didn’t want to listen. Okay, they did and It should be a sum of actions to reverse bad policiesif something has not been done to divide the sector and defend the entities ”.

Apart from the differences, from the sector they coincide with the emphasis on the impact of mobilization. “It’s not a march, it’s a marchón, for us who have lived through it, it’s very exciting,” Raedemaeker said, and warned: “The Government needs to remember and do the right reading of the property owned by the producer.The producer’s mood worsens and we are at the gate of another 125. Any spark from the Government will have a reaction as strong or stronger than on Saturday. “

Regarding agricultural and economic policy, the CRA director invited the Government to observe neighboring countries and competitors in food production, which, in his opinion, “solves post-pandemic problems and those that came out of the war in a better way. .very different from how Argentina does ”, but he was skeptical about the possibility of a change in official outlook. “It is very difficult to talk to the Government, which is closed to its dogmatic standards, it is enough to read Minister Domínguez’s declarations about mobilization ”, he remarked.

From Israel, where he is participating in a technical mission, Agriculture Minister Julián Domínguez said yesterday that he had not identified the problems and the concrete solutions demanded in the tractor attack. “It’s not about any technical issue of conflict resolution in my area,” he said.

Earlier, speaking to Clarín, the official said that if there was any complaint they would take care of it, and said: “It is important to know that we have a permanent working relationship with the sector entities, we are working on the agenda of the topics. “
