00:00There they are quick, and there they show off, but here there is no money.
00:04It is a shame that the opposition and the Congress are fighting for that difference at least once.
00:12That you said, the 18,000 pesos, that in short, if the retirement mobility had advanced,
00:19it was not something, a guarantee, an increase that involved or reached everyone.
00:25Do you know what happened years ago in the National Disability Agency,
00:29that you called the Andes? It made me remember another topic that we just touched on.
00:33300 dismissals in parentheses.
00:35The system of non-contributive pensions goes up and down.
00:39There are people who have to stay in a line waiting for someone to fail to be able to use that quota.
00:47For that they are quick, but I want to talk a little bit with Estela Garnica.
00:50Estela from El Mundo Media Luna is there in Casa de Gobierno.
00:59Yes, good morning, how are you, Rolo?
01:03I was telling you, what else is known about the issue of half moons and what is spent in Casa de Gobierno?
01:09Look, they confirm to me that if that bid exists,
01:1316,675,000 pesos were paid by the General Secretariat of Presidency in charge of Carina Milley
01:21to buy thousands of packages of bread for hamburgers, frozen breads to serve in the dining room,
01:31to the employees, but also to all the employees of Casa Rosada.
01:34Also, 4,500 half moons of fat, 5,200 half moons of butter.
01:41But wasn't it that at the beginning of the government, the government had cut all this,
01:46saying no, a lot of money is spent on coffee, coffee with milk, that everyone pays for their own?
01:53Yes, yes, that's right. What they tell me is that everyone pays for their own.
01:57A half moon, for example, a sub-secretary like Javier Lanari, if I put it as an example,
02:03a communications sub-secretary pays her 600 pesos, half moon of butter.
02:08Coffee is the only thing that is free for everyone.
02:10Who do they pay it to?
02:11But wait, wait, wait, half moons are bought and resold, it's a business, it's a business.
02:17I didn't understand.
02:18Who do they pay it to?
02:19I mean, why does the state buy them? To resell them?
02:24Sorry, it was cut off, I didn't hear you well.
02:26No, I was saying, why does the state buy those half moons? To resell them?
02:30Why do they pay so much money for half moons?
02:33Exactly, exactly.
02:36That's how it works, that's how the system works.
02:38This bid is to supply La Casa Rosada with everything that is breading.
02:43It's the same company that had hired Alberto Fernández,
02:46and when my law came in, they said, well, let's review it, they gave it a discount,
02:52because at first they thought there were irregularities.
02:55But later, when they negotiated the prices, they saw that there were no irregularities,
03:01so my law came in and hired them again.
03:04So, wait, stop there.
03:06So, everything they said at the beginning that there were irregularities was not true?
03:12This is to supply the dining room, both for employees and for employees.
03:17In fact, I remember...
03:19Yes, hello Estela, how are you?
03:20I remember that at the beginning of the management, they cut off a lot of...
03:24How are you?
03:25Good. They cut off the issue of half moons, they also cut off...
03:27In fact, there was no sugar in the dining room.
03:29I can't hear you, I can't hear you.
03:31There was no sugar, I tell you, no sugar in the dining room,
03:34there were no napkins, as if they had cut everything off.
03:37And in fact, it was news that the mozos sold cakes.
03:41Of course.
03:42The mozos because...
03:44Karina Milín approved them.
03:46As a baker, she approved them.
03:48Exactly.
03:51Well, and now it went backwards again.
03:53The mozos sell cakes that they bring from their houses.
03:57Yes, but then explain to me the enigma of the half moons.
03:59The half moons are only for the citizens.
04:00What do they spend $13,000 on?
04:02These $13,000 are monthly in half moons?
04:09What, what?
04:10The money that is spent in half moons is monthly?
04:15Well, that's the detail that they don't finish confirming to me.
04:19These quantities that we just said,
04:21how long do they supply the Casa Rosada?
04:24If this is monthly, if this is for three months,
04:27if it is for six months or if it is for a year.
04:29As there is frozen goods,
04:31there may be an agreement that the company will deliver it little by little,
04:35as it needs it.
04:37That is not clear and it is what we consulted today
04:40and we did not have the data confirmed.
04:42And well, we have to see how it goes, right?
04:45In principle, I repeat,
04:48the normal menu for all employees of Casa Rosada
04:51costs $1,000.
04:52The half moons, $600.
04:55And for the sub-secretary officials upstairs,
04:59except for the president,
05:00because the president is the only one who does not pay anything
05:02and his closest environment or his guests.
05:04The menu for high hierarchy officials is $7,000.
05:09That is what they clarify and defend as saying,
05:12well, we spent these $16 million but we recovered them by selling.
05:15Yes, also, but in any case,
05:17what one can say is that although there are discounts
05:20for the employees' food,
05:22but they are quick to cut or discount
05:25the medicines for the retirees.
05:26Estela, thank you for the contact.
