The presidential candidate of the PRO, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta challenged the vice president, Cristina Kirchner, to debate “the failure of this model” of government. “The government of Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner failed,” she emphasized.
“I would like to discuss with her the failure of this model. The people want a change”, assured Larreta in radio statements to “Very early Saturday” with Marcelo Bonelli. “This government is unpredictable, there is no clear direction, no plan: they wake up in the morning and see what they do,” he added. “Projecting, forecasting with this government is a problem,” continued the head of government.
Larreta about Milei: “I don’t know him”
Then he was consulted about the figure of Javier Miley, whose growth seems to be taking voters out of Together for Change, Rodríguez Larreta responded: “Do not know him. I crossed it once in my life“.
Regarding the inmate within Juntos por el Cambio, he maintained that “people are going to choose in the STEPthere is a democratic process, where people vote and choose, that is the way”.
Larreta has not yet defined who will be his running mate in the primaries and left open the possibility that his list is completed with someone outside the PRO. “I don’t have the name yet. It can be from my party or from another of Together for Change, it will be someone from Together for Change, because I believe in unity”, they indicate. Regarding the City elections, it will surely “accompany a candidate delPRO”.
“We have to come back worse”: the curious irony of the Grabois candidate for Buenos Aires head of government
On the meeting held by the national deputy Mary Eugenia Vidal With the also pre-candidate Patricia Bullrich, Rodríguez Larreta said: “How is a photo going to bother me? They are leaders of Together for Change, we have worked together for years.”
Economic crisis and proposals
Regarding the country’s economic situation, the opposition referent warned that “the situation today is already desperate.” “It seems that we are barbaric and that it can explode in a while: it already exploded today,” he added. When asked if carrying out the reforms he plans will have a cost, he replied: “The cost that millions of Argentines are already paying is enormous.”
“I’m going to lower inflation, you can, other countries did it, why can’t we do it ourselves? We are going for a profound change, it is hard to start by not continuing to spend more than we have. We are going to put an end to the fiscal deficit once and for all”, he detailed and added that “we must stop issuing”.
“The issuance of money generates inflation here and in China: you have to stop asking the Central Bank for money, it has to be independent,” he stressed. “We are going to double exports in six yearsWe have studied this, product by product, market by market. Increasing exports ends the problem of the dollar, the desperation that if it goes up, if it goes down, that the dollar is soybean, cash with liquid, the blue ”, he realized.
Labor reform and social plans
“Argentina needs modernization, a huge transformation of the labor system. We have to end the trial industry, the fines that update them, the penalties, a snowball. A compensation that has to be, for example, 100 pesos, ends up being 1000. An SME with 10 workers in which there is a labor lawsuit for only one, closes. The system needs to be updated, the world is changing”, highlighted the head of government.
Then he referred to the social plans: “Today, those who have it, do not take a job because they lose the plan.” “I am going to remove the intermediaries in the social plans, the social organizations that today have the authority and the power to designate who is given a plan and who is not. It is crazy, because it is a responsibility of the State, ”he continued.
His plan is to do what is done in Italy or France where you have to sign up for a job bank to get a plan. “If you don’t accept it, you lose the plan. In Argentina, everyone who has a plan has to be looking for a job. That, which we are going to do from December 10 throughout the country, already works in the City of Buenos Aires. You have to enforce the conditions.”
Finally he was consulted by the dollarization, which he ruled out outright. “Today, dollarization would give you a dollar in Argentina of 3,000, which would generate poverty and galloping inflation, I don’t believe in that. Once and for all, and seriously, we must face the issue and put an end to the fiscal deficit, with spending more than we have. All the rest are shortcuts, it’s looking for magic and easy solutions. We are going to stop broadcasting this little machine of unhappiness that the only thing that generates is more poverty. Let’s get it over with,” he concluded.
