After Guillermo Francella said he hoped for Javier Milei’s government and measures because “they were more than necessary”, Oscar Martinez (74) He regretted the current state of the country. Having settled in Madrid, the actor explained that “for several years” he has missed what Argentina once knew how to be.
Oscar traveled from Spain to Buenos Aires to promote his new series, Fine Arts, made in Madrid. During the visit, he spoke with Fabián Doman Good morning America (America TV) e He seemed distressed when asked about his vision for the country.
“Three and a half years have passed since I finally settled in Madrid.. I came, obviously, to visit my loved ones, my friends, my children, my grandchildren. But when I lived here, I have missed that country for many years., where we grew up, where we were educated, where we lived. That, beyond the fact that institutional quality has always been lacking, because we have lived from coup to coup d’état, It was an extraordinary country“, began the well-known actor.
Then, he reviewed a series of qualities in which Argentina has worsened over time: “We have had upward social mobility, model public sphere on a global level, Einstein came in ’57 to study the Argentine educational phenomenon, we had higher quality public healthcare, we were among the five countries with the highest per capita income in the world. In historical terms we are talking about the day before yesterday.”
“The poverty rate when Alfonsín arrived in 1983 was 5%. and it was a poverty that was not poverty, it was not marginality. There was no social decomposition that occurred later. AND Today we have almost 60% poverty. A shameful, pitiful poverty, there is hunger. The general cultural level has dropped dramatically. There is not a single index that proves that we are not worse off”Continued Martinez.
Oscar explained it he misses “the country that no longer exists”.
Oscar Martínez spoke about Argentina’s present on América TV. Capture TV“It’s very painful, very painful. I started training in the 1960s and I have testimonies from colleagues who came from Europe and They were amazed and amazed at what Buenos Aires was like.the cultural level and what the country was in general,” he continued.
Martínez then took the opportunity to criticize both society and the politicians of the various governments: “Obviously we did things very badly. Not to mention the political houses, many of which continue to talk and pontificate, and one says ‘but this man or this woman was part of this government or that one’. They were always there and no one took care of them”.
And he closed: “And neither does society, we chose badly, we didn’t realize that the boat was filling with water and that we were about to sink. And we have arrived at a truly extreme and very sad situation. The degree of wild comparison shocks me, the brutal disqualification, the violence with which leaders of different sectors are attacked. In better-off countries, state policies are non-negotiable. Why can’t we reach agreement on five key issues?
