Sergio Massa had breakfast compared to the price of round tomatoes jumped nearly 64% in April and Orange, 19.8%. And this time his team cannot blame Nahuel Levaggi, the now ex president of the Central Market, a point of reference for the Union of Land Workers with more links with Juan Grabois than with the Kirchnerism of La Matanza and that he remained in office until the beginning of April.
