There was also his wife and former head of AySA, Malena Galmarini , who declared: “We did not come to lead any march, we came to accompany the people who do feel that this is not the path they voted for, that it is not what they want, that Milei lied to them , that he told them that he was going to make the adjustment on the caste and is doing it on the people.”
Regarding a candidacy by Sergio Massa , the FR representative assured: “It seems to me that today with the crisis we are experiencing, with the people on the streets, with those who are beginning to realize that what they voted for is not what is happening, we today have to accompany, and not speaking in electoral terms . I believe that Sergio is the most prepared of our generation, not only technically and academically prepared but also prepared in combat, therefore for me it is important that he is doing this reflection, this learning, chatting with the governors, the mayors, the referents of the CGT and all the workers' confederations, with the social movements, because the only way we get out is with the adults working and the children studying. I have a hint of sadness about why this march is taking place, but the joy of knowing that Argentinians never give up."
