Rafael Bielsa: “The middle class fears that the poor will resemble it” as Rafael Bielsa middle class fear poor class resemblance. The former chancellor expressed himself via social networks.

The former chancellor of the Argentine Republic, Rafael Bielsa, highlighted on Wednesday night a publication whose authorship belongs to the former vice president of Bolivia, Álvaro García Linera, entitled: "Elephant and middle class curve". From social networks, he also left his appreciation and considered that "the middle class fears that the poor will resemble it."

“The middle class is a mystery that reveals intellectuals and poets alike. García Linera, perhaps the best of the first, undresses his anatomy in ´Curva de Elefante and middle class´. The filmmaker Patricio Guzmán begins his trilogy ´The battle of Chile´ with ´The insurrection of the bourgeoisie´. A woman with a flint face shouts: ´… disgusting communists, they have to leave Chile´. The middle class fears that the poor will look like it, ”Bielsa said from his official Twitter account.

Meanwhile, he added that “Thomas Piketty graphs the inequalities of the world: the first deciles (poor), grow in their purchasing power. The intermediates ("middle sectors"), moderately. The top decile (the richest 1%): exponentially. The silhouette of an elephant: the poor are the legs; the middle class the loin; the very rich, the trunk raised. Income in Bolivia, from 2006 to 2018, can be characterized as a 'moderate elephant curva'.

In the same vein, Bielsa remarked: “World Bank: Bolivia was the most prodigal nation in its redistributive policies. The income of 40% of the vulnerable population grew an average of 11% per year. Confirmed the first part of the Piketty curve. The rich, after the nationalization of hydrocarbons, electricity and telecommunications, multiplied their income (440%). With a reduction in inequality between 10% high and 10% low. Moderate trunk And middle class?

“The traditional one, increased its income by at least 11% every year ... but the poorest wage earners, 500% in 13 years. A grievance! "... disgusting communists!" Serious erosion of the social, cultural and symbolic capital of the established middle classes. Ethnicity ´legitima´ not Indianized vs. collective intermediation mechanisms towards the State. Alcurnia and whiteness (its rhetoric and aesthetics) are expelled by the union and collective bond. The “is raised” cholage. The storm looms, ”he said.

Jorge Halperin: “Together for Change, he was defeated politically but not culturally”

The journalist analyzed the first month of the Government of Alberto Fernández.

The journalist Jorge Halperín analyzed on Wednesday night, the first month of the Government of Alberto Fernández, and the position taken by the opposition. In addition, he pointed out that "the ideas of Cambiemos remain in 40% of the people" and that "the most decisive thing is that the game of dividing Peronism does not materialize, Peronism must govern together."

"The Government of Alberto Fernández has just started, this is something that the opposition does not want to make very visible, it did not even begin to negotiate the external debt that is a key to define what economic scenarios we are going to have," said the journalist interviewed in the program This Just Start of the C5N signal.

Meanwhile, he considered that in Argetina, “we pass in the blink of an eye, from an official narrative that said: we are having a hard time lighting up a future of growth, such as copying homeopathy. Actually, it lasted very little Change, it was fleeting, it did not achieve re-election, it could not even dispute a ballot. It did not arrive. ”

In the same sense, he affirmed that “they were defeated politically, clearly, with a strong choice but they were not defeated culturally. The ideas of Cambiemos, those meritocratic, individualistic ideas that the State is an enemy, of the Chilean model, of a polarized society, are what 40% of the population stayed with. There is a macro people. ”

Finally, Halperín said that “the defeated force resolves their absences while the hard ones impose their voices: Jorge Macri, Patricia Bullrich, Elisa Carrió. I do not know if that will continue but today they echo in that 40% that wanted the continuity of the macro government. It seems to me that the most decisive thing is that the game of dividing Peronism is not concrete. As long as Peronism knows that the way to govern is united, the opposition movements will not be able to stand up. ”
