“Our people are making a great effort, we cannot play dumb; This enormous effort must be accompanied with actions and not just words; That is why some actions of the leadership that are divorced from ordinary citizens continue to hurt, such as the much talked about ‘self-increases’ in salaries from a few weeks ago,” said the archbishop when offering the religious ceremony.
In his message, to commemorate a new anniversary of the May Revolution – with which Argentina took its first steps towards its independence from the Kingdom of Spain -, Monsignor Cuerva also called for the basic needs of children, health and retirees .
“There is paralysis that cannot be procrastinated, it would generate disastrous consequences in the lives of people and society. A very high price to pay that we cannot afford: malnutrition in early childhood, lack of schooling and accessibility to health services, the elderly and retirees incapable of supporting themselves daily with a minimum of dignity, are some of those examples. cannot be postponed,” he added.
Cuerva also pointed out against the violence of drug trafficking and corruption: “We also ask God to preserve us from the hands stained by drug trafficking, the dirty hands of corruption and bribery, from the hands in the pocket of selfishness and indifference. ”.

Think of strategies so that things go badly for others. “That destroys us all and eats away at the foundations of the country,” he said.
