One of the advertisements by Fernández and his deputy, Cristina Kirchner, in 2019 showed a man in front of a deactivated grill full of rubble. In the advertising piece, an announcer begins to extol the past and say that, before, Argentines could have barbecues and laugh with friends.
"We have thousands of problems every day. But, well, the weekend would come and someone would say: 'Hey, is there a barbecue?'. The truth is, we start to lose these things, and I'm not talking about food. Having a barbecue was something more, it was inviting your friends, having a little laugh. What do we work for anyway? The good thing is that, in a short time, all this will improve", read the text read.

"The people who are watching your show often go to the butcher shop and buy a steak thinking it's a steak, and it's not. what the people want. The people like good things. That part with the little fat passed in the flour, drinking cold beer, that's all the people want," Lula said in an interview with an open television channel before the first round.
