Javier Milei (Reuters)

Javier Milei took advantage of this Sunday morning to expand his criticism of the speech given yesterday in Quilmes by former president Cristina Kirchner . In reality, the libertarian president minimized the presentation of one of the former president by describing said intervention as a speech of "notorious intellectual poverty" , to then highlight the drop in inflation and insist with his position in favor of audits in universities. public, after the massive march last Tuesday. The main concepts of it:

1 – About the former vice president​

“In principle, the first thing I can say is that, compared to his other speeches, yesterday's was a very poor speech. In general, in his speeches there was always a model; Let's say, some formal, clearer structure. In this one, she directly lacks an organic way of presenting a topic, that is, it is from a notorious intellectual poverty, a drop in the quality of a speech on her part that truly surprised me ," Milei said in the interview she gave to Rivadavia radio .

2 – Inflation​

The head of state also said “ The latest data are showing that salaries are outpacing inflation and, furthermore, with falling inflation. Therefore, this recomposition is already beginning to take place, it was mild in the last month and now it is going to begin to feel more sustainable.” And he added: “Therefore that, in fact, mortgage credit has returned; In other words, that is the best sign that people are beginning to do better and that everyone sees that they are doing better. What's more: in fact, the first to see it were those from outside .

3 – Audits at universities​

After acknowledging receipt of last Tuesday's march, the leader of La Libertad Avanza reflected: “The claim may be a genuine claim, so to speak, but built on a lie. We never said that we were going to close the universities, we never said that we were going to take away funding. The only thing we ask and seek is that, since public universities are being funded by taxpayers, the numbers have to be audited . I mean, who doesn't want to be audited? And, thieves don't want to be audited; “If the numbers were transparent, they could be audited.” For him, what happened “was the reissue of 'the campaign of fear'.”

4 – Energy debt​

One of the points observed from different sectors about the adjustment faced by the libertarian Government is related to energy debts. In that sense, the president stated that “ CAMMESA payments will be made in the middle of the year; It is going to be done in the month of June , which is why, throughout, let's say, the first five months of the year, we are generating many financial surpluses, to let's say compensate for what is going to be the increase in items. for the payment of CAMMESA and what the payment of the bonuses is going to do.”

5 – Retirements​

In Congress, the dialogue opposition and the one most opposed to the ruling party are pushing various projects, to differentiate themselves from the pension update that the Government activated via Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU). On this issue, Milei said: “ With the formula that came, yes?, they would have lost two points of GDP this year . ” We are doing a recomposition that returns 1.6, that 0.4 that is lost, strictly speaking, is what it was losing now. Recovery is coming for retirees. That is why I sent that DNU, so that the inflation adjustment begins to run, to restore the income of retirees. At the end of the year they end up losing 2 points of GDP. So, we are returning a 1.6, but it is not my fault that Congress is blocking things for me and that politics has basically become an impeding machine .”

6 – The imminent discussion of the bases law in Deputies​

In the face of the momentous debate that will take place at noon tomorrow in the Lower House, the president defended the work of his Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, and made it clear that he sees him as “optimistic” and that he is “ very satisfied with everything.” the work ” of his team. "They are wonderful; If not, he would have already kicked them out,” he noted.

7 – Fall in activity and recession​

“One begins to see that some indicators would be showing that a floor is being reached . There are sectors that are expanding very clearly, such as mining, oil, gas, agriculture,” described the president.

8 – The controversy over the mega DNU that deregulates the economy​

According to Milei, “if it had come out earlier, there would have been less political tensions, or we would have avoided some atrocities that have been said in the Senate to justify the votes.” Along those lines, she maintained: “The senators would have been more exposed to what they don't like about the DNU. Because the DNU basically has: return individual freedoms to citizens, more competitive market structures and end the work of politics. It seems to me that the problem was with the last part .”

9 – Medium and long term​

The president highlighted that “only 20% of people believed that a year from now we would be better” and that, “now, that number is more than 50% . ”

10 – Fiscal deficit​

“If I look at Argentine history, of the last 123 years, Argentina had a deficit for 113 and Argentina is the richest country in the world. We received it when we were 140, so something bad happened there and the essential characteristic is the fiscal deficit. When you have a fiscal deficit, you have to finance it, so, for example, what does the conventional scam politician do? He finances it with debt because the party is present; That is, those who vote today transfer it to future generations who do not vote today. So how does that manifest itself afterwards? That Argentina today is the maximum serial defaulter, that is why we inherit a country risk of 2900 basis points, that is why Argentina today has no credit; Therefore, while credit anywhere in the world is 98% of GDP on average, in Argentina it is 4 ″, Milei stated.
