Javier Milei celebrated April inflation and supported Caputo

President Javier Milei was euphoric after the news of April inflation , which was 8.8%, as reported by Indec this Tuesday, May 14. Furthermore, he decided to represent the economic result obtained with an image hugging the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo .


“GOOOOOOOOOOOOL...!!!” , wrote the head of state on his social networks, accompanied by a photo with the head of the Treasury Palace during the Legislative Assembly.


In the same sense, presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni also expressed his optimism and noted that “inflation in April was 8.8%. Much of it was due to the honesty of regulated prices. In food inflation was even lower: 6%.” In turn, the national official argued that “inflation is being pulverized and he has his death certificate signed,” after having participated with Milei in the inauguration of the bust of Carlos Menem in Casa Rosada this Tuesday.


For his part, national deputy José Luis Espert emphasized: “April inflation was 8.8%. Javier Milei's government, in just 4 months, not only avoided hyperinflation, but also managed to ensure that April had single-digit inflation (October 2023 was a drawing, it does not count), something that had not happened since July 2023. Did the recipe? Pure common sense: fiscal deficit and zero emissions. It's that way.”

Martín Menem , president of the Chamber of Deputies, stated about inflation that “we have already returned to one digit and we continue to decline. Congratulations to the economic team that is carrying out this titanic task against the worst legacy in history.”


Representing the Government, Luis Petri , Minister of Defense, declared that “we are demolishing inflation, the main problem of Argentines: 8.8% in the month of April. There is no story here, there are facts: an economic program and the decision of President Javier Milei to solve the problems of Argentines. This is the way".

In addition, the Buenos Aires deputy Diego Santilli chose to represent the economic situation with a graph, showing the decrease in prices in recent months and its comparison with the data of the Alberto Fernández government: “8.8% was the inflation in April, another once down. Little by little we are getting out of the terrible crisis that Kirchnerism left us.”

Likewise, the Buenos Aires legislator for La Libertad Avanza, Ramiro Marra , highlighted that “they left us on the verge of hyperinflation, with a wholesale inflation of 54% and a daily retail inflation of 1%, which annualized gave 17,000%. Despite all that, in 5 months we managed to lower inflation to single digits,” and he added that “there is still a lot to improve, but we are on the right path.”

Continuing along the same lines as the celebrations, the Secretary of Parliamentary Relations, Omar De Marchi , assured that “President Javier Milei proposed to combat inflation by honestizing the prices of the economy instead of imposing unsustainable regulations. Five months after taking office, the slowdown shows that this is the way to go.” In turn, the Mendoza leader acknowledged that “there is still a lot of work and great challenges ahead to be able to change the lives of Argentines who still suffer from the disaster that years of populism left us.”

While Hernán Lombardi , national deputy of the PRO, published a message in which he stated that “the effort is great but it is worth it. We will never again return to the demagoguery and facileness that brought us here.”

Also the national deputy and president of the La Libertad Avanza bloc, Gabriel Bornoroni , took the image that the President used to celebrate the inflation data and shared a message on his networks: “What a great goal from Javier Milei and Luis Caputo. The effort is serving. We have to continue on this path until inflation is a problem of the past.”

And along the same lines, deputy Carolina Piparo developed that “the President is fulfilling his commitment: to organize the accounts and lower inflation, which was the greatest concern of Argentines in recent years. Single-digit inflation was decisively possible. Let's go Argentina".
