Eduardo Buzzi: “There is discomfort with the Government and distrust with the main opposition”

The agricultural producer Eduardo Buzzi believes that the protest of the producers is completely justified by the lack of responses from the Government. “A lot of times I tried to talk to Sergio Massa and Alberto Fernández, but they don’t call you or answer the phone,” he said in Fontevecchia modeby net tv and RadioProfile (FM 101.9).

How do you see this new chapter between the countryside and the Government?

TO Carlos Achetoni I wished him all the strength and encouragement, this Monday I was with him and with him Executive committee of the agrarian federation who is the one who is having this initiative to convene the assembly this morning.

This is absolutely justified assemblyis necessary. They are right to be on the road.

The causes are old and they were never results. Always mistreating agricultural producers, especially those who are smaller and weaker.

In the year ’75 there were already drawbacks in the countryside-Government relationship, in 2008 it was the further expression of intent to authoritative confiscation.

Why do you think this situation occurs, beyond the current government?

Because they take the primary sector as a supplier to hide the inefficiency of the sector that decides, which, in several of the items, is the industrial sector.

They capture profitability from the primary to move to the secondary sector and then to the public administration. Rents are captured as if they were inexhaustible, and as if the protagonists were all the same, this is the main problem.

That they take part of the income and transfer it to society in a crisis situation, like in 2002, can be understood, but those who are different cannot be treated in the same way.

Horrendous images come to mind that I do not want to repeat… Can small and medium-sized producers be “exterminated”? Can the sowing pools that form in the city of Buenos Aires be treated the same as the investment funds that rent, plant grains and do financial business?

The conflict with the countryside returns | Fontevecchia mode

We are at a point where, if we continue like this, the agricultural development model that was born in 1880 in Argentina will be extinct by 2030.

Small and medium producers are being changed by a large green desert in which not even birds walk. That’s all soy in the hands of a few great actors.

There are six hundred towns with less than two thousand inhabitants on the verge of disappearing. Add to that a ferocious drought, the likes of which has never been known, three consecutive years, a very strange fact that we producers are carrying out. This Government boasts of being a Peronist but never called to discuss multi-risk insurance for protect small and medium producers.

In 2002 we launched a law to protect family farming and we still not active20 years passed and, of them, 16 years were of Peronist governments. I sympathize with PeronismI do not deny my condition of having Peronist parents, but what they are doing is wrong.

When you record Cristina Kirchner saying that soybeans were that yuyito that came out in the middle of the field. What did you feel?

The same anger from that 2008. You cannot disqualify a crop that presented development. But what cannot be declared is that it is the only crop, monoculture, and the only productive strategy that a country has.

He field must be diversified and of base familiarWith more cows, with more farms, with more added value, we cannot just be soybeans.

The sentiment towards the current management

Alexander Gomel (AG): Did the management of the current government disappoint you?

I was disappointed in the governmentI had expectations.

I had the expectation that the arrival of an experience that came to replace the disarmament that the macrismo had carried out would be of a productivist, developmentalist, moderate, dialoguist idea. Convening, making an economic and social council, creating bases for a productivist government, and here what we have is a runaway inflation.

Surely there are external causes such as the pandemic and the war, but, meanwhile, the call for a great national agreement, the greatness that was needed for that, did not exist.

They have to think about the people, then in the second semester they go out to the field to look for the votes, but in this first semester we must solve the inflationary problema great agreement on prices and wages is needed, and to think about the productive interior.

Everything that is going to be in crisis after this drought is going to mean the need to contain the people and to reactivate economically. We must stop extinguishing agricultural producers and piling up in the Greater Buenos Aires. A hundred kilometers from the obelisk there are fifteen million people, this is an unviable country.

A lot of times try to talk to sergio masa and Alberto Fernandezbut they do not summon you they don’t answer the phone.

AG: Massa has been in Economy for seven months and he always says that he calls for dialogue. What about that management?

They summon, but it’s all cosmetic.

The Agricultural Emergency Law is useless. What you have to have is multi-risk insurance that serves to contain small and medium-sized producers. The drought that is plaguing the country is very serious and there are no real tools to counteract it.

Achetoni: “Given the impossibility of profitability, producers disappeared”

fernando meanos: What can the countryside aspire to obtain today as a solution from the Government?

The first is political. When they send the leaders to speak with secretaries, they are already lowering the price of representativeness and the problem.

concrete measures They are, for example, the issuance of a special bond so that the producer can exchange with the banks to which, the cereal growers, cooperatives, suppliers, input companies to which he owes.

The Southern Agrarian Federation of Santa Fe proposes that they return the withholdings, In a couple of years now, up to 1,000 tons, so that this producer can finance himself and from there to pay his creditors.

The other scenario is stop paying, sell assets and disappear as producers.

You have to call one announcement wide to see how the problem that the Interior of the country is going to have can be faced, and also include the governors, who should not act distracted.

What expectations does the election year generate?

There is discomfort with the government and distrust with the main opposition, which does not offer clarity. There is no superior alternative to the management that is governing at this moment, there is a lot of climate that they can be the object of the punishment vote.

uncertainty reignsPolitics must have the greatness to offer options where people find hope again.

Is there a candidate that represents them?

At this moment, to me no one represents me.
