In the midst of a conversation with the opposition about the Bases Law and the fiscal package, President Javier Milei was very critical of Congress and has already begun campaigning for the 2025 elections, ensuring that next year he will “change the configuration” in the premises and the Government will “be able to introduce all the reforms” that it has not been able to approve until now.


The national leader was the closing speaker of the first day of the International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA), which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in the city of Buenos Aires and was attended by businessmen from different countries. sectors.


The head of state arrived at the auditorium after 5:30 p.m. and was received by the public with effusive applause. In the place, which was full, there were, among others, the governor of Neuquén, Rolando Figueroa ; Rodrigo Valdés , director of the Western Hemisphere department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF); Marianne Fay , the director of the World Bank for Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, and Mario Lubetkin , assistant director general of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

In addition, there were authorities from important global companies, such as Fernando López Iervasi , from Microsoft; Alejandro Bulgheroni , from Pan American Energy Grop, and Ignacio Mehech Castellón , from Albemarle, one of the main lithium exploitation firms in the region.


All of them stayed until the end of the event on sustainable economy, in which artificial intelligence, new technologies and food were also discussed, to listen to the words of the President, who arrived accompanied by his general secretary, Karina Milei ; from his spokesperson, Manuel Adorni ; from the official representative, Lilia Lemoine , and from the filmmaker and member of his communication team, Santiago Oría .

After referring to the situation in which the country found itself when he took office, the head of state ratified his economic program and explained to businessmen that his plan is to move towards “a free banking system with currency competition” and with a law so that monetary emission is considered a crime , which in his opinion is the cause of inflation.

“We can do all this despite politics, despite all the obstacles they put in our way. But you know what? There is something that is wonderful, something that the analog red circle does not see : all the DNU that were sent were intended to generate regulations, take away freedoms, give business to friends, enormous jobs and, above all, curtailment of individual freedoms, as happened in the pandemic. Ours was the first in history that restores individual freedoms and makes markets more competitive,” he said.

The President questioned the "analogue red circle"
In this sense, Milei was very harsh with Congress and assured that "politicians do not want to give up their jobs and seek to maintain their privileges" and considered that it is for this reason that "they brought down the Decree in the Senate."

However, the president denied that this rejection by the upper house means a defeat for the ruling party, arguing that “with the vote it was clear who is against progress; "Who are the criminals, those who are in favor of theft and against giving people back their freedom?"

In this sense, the President has already shown himself campaigning for 2025: “It will not be free for them in the midterm election, those criminals are going to be left out. There we are going to have another composition of Congress and all the reforms that we have not been able to introduce now, we are going to introduce them at that time and also the other 3 thousand that are pending and that we cannot get rid of because of this machine to prevent them from continuing the process. status quo , in which you pay the bill and they benefit,” he exclaimed.

Although he acknowledged that his administration is carrying out “the largest adjustment in the history of humanity,” he assured that he is “very optimistic about the future,” since a lot of things are being “achieved despite politics and that.” "Besides, people are seeing it."

“People have hope, they are seeing that we are going to get out, that there is light at the end of the road, even though they are having a bad time today. She realized that populism leads nowhere, that the solution is by embracing the ideas of freedom. If today the elections were a runoff, we would be getting 58%, we are 16 points behind second ,” she highlighted.

In this way, the President not only ratified his idea of eliminating the Central Bank and going to a system of free currency competition, but also insisted on the need for the ruling party to obtain more deputies and senators to be able to approve the reforms it intends. government.

Figueroa was there, who is one of the main actors in the framework of the negotiations between the Casa Rosada and the opposition for the approval of the new Bases Law. The Neuquén is in favor of some aspects of the project package.

“The law has different edges and considerations on several points, but I believe that there is a broad consensus regarding the articles referring to hydrocarbons and the promotion of large investments, which for us are very important,” commented the governor during his exhibition, when asked about the future of Milei's initiatives.
