On April 2, 2013, my city La Plata was flooded. Daniel Scioli was Buenos Aires Province governor at the time. We still don’t know for sure how many people died. Many platenses lost absolutely everything. Now, Bahía Blanca. The current governor: Axel Kicillof. A devastated city, 16 people dead and many more missing. It’s hard to understand that there are still some political leaders who don’t believe in the reality of climate change. Moreover, isn’t there any sort of prevention? “An event like this has to be foreseen as much as possible and we have to be prepared,” Kicillof said at a press conference in Bahía Blanca. Too late. “Do what I say, not what I do.” No use crying over spilt water, Mr Governor. This is your second term, right? Have you done anything about it? If you have, let me tell you it doesn’t show. And now you want to run for president? It costs nothing to dream, they say…
