Butter is the end product of the dairy production process, it comes last. While the shortage has not had a noticeable affect on the price of medialunas so far, if it continues, there will definitely be some long-lasting results.”And could the shortage in dairy production affect the production of cheese? Because butter is such a crucial part of baking medialunas, this presents the possibility of a hike in the price of our favorite facturas. If the butter crisis wasn’t already enough to give you a low-grade panic attack, there’s now a possibility that medialunas could face price hikes too. The increase in prices will surely alter the traditional cafe con leche and three medialunas combo.

Newsan President Luis Galli told La Nación that, “We today sell food products like fish, peanuts and honey, among others.

“We recognize the sense of anguish in the population, but we have to ask the social group that voted for us to make this effort, for us to be able to satisfy the country’s energy demands,” Aranguren said.

“Massa, Urtubey, Perotti are the renewal of Peronism, and there are new faces to accompany this process too,” Pichetto said. “I think what counts is to work every day, if it’s for something that you want,” Gioja added. The current chair of the PJ José Luis Gioja took aim at the former president’s recent spate of public appearances as being an easy way to help Fernández de Kirchner’s own image but not contributing to rebuilding Peronism. Pichetto joined the growing ranks of Peronists appearing to distance themselves from CFK, saying that “a process of accommodation (and) looking forward” was required for the PJ. ‘Generational change’Gioja was joined in his apparent criticism of the former president by Miguel Ángel Pichetto, the leader of the Peronist bloc in the Senate.
