In a new chapter of criticism of the libertarians, the governor of Buenos Aires writes: Axel Kicillof He took aim at Javier Milei’s government over the exchange rate lag in the Argentine tourist exchange, warning: “What they are doing is a disaster.”
“Today, Clarín’s cover is that for every tourist who comes to Argentina, two leave… That is, if that is not the case Exchange delay I don’t know what name it has. “It’s not that Argentina has suddenly become unattractive and Argentinians want to see the world and we are richer than anyone else to travel to their countries,” Kicillof said, repeating a note published on Wednesday.
In this sense, the provincial president explained: “It is a catastrophe that they are causing. In the province of Buenos Aires there is no economic sector that is doing well: gastronomy, trade, tourism and industry, which are in a very serious crisis and some elements are finding it difficult to turn around.”
The note Kicillof was referring to refers to the fact that for every foreigner who arrived, almost two Argentines went abroad. According to a report by Indec, there was a 2.7% decline in November to 491,400 tourists arriving in Argentina. In contrast, the emigration of Argentine residents abroad rose again at 15.3%.
In this framework, the Peronist leader once again questioned the economic policies of the national executive, which he defined as “a”. constant improvisation“, because “they changed their economic policy 30 times.”
“Is an improvisation and a tightening of the International Monetary Fund, the foreign creditorsthat they are trying to disguise as if it were something fantastic, fabulous, new stages of the same plan,” he emphasized in the dialogue Radio 10.
Kicillof emphasized that after the general elections, the US Treasury Department itself withdrew support, leaving the executive branch under the influence of the International Monetary Fund. “The North American Treasury says: ‘I’m running, now listen to the Monetary Fund’, and there they move the exchange rate band. This is the usual policy, it is a policy of cutting salaries, cutting pensions, adjusting the provinces, stopping public works and at the same time maintaining an exchange rate,” he stressed.
For the governor, “it is an end to the year marked by many elements, and one of them is this.” Hardness with which economic policy and Milei’s adjustment strike” in society. In addition, he recalled that despite the “American salvation” recognized by Donald Trump himself, “the government got into many difficulties in Parliament due to poor political leadership and lack of political leadership terrible set of laws he wants to passThis was all frustrated because of his labor reform.
“In the midst of all this, Milei is trying to strangle the provinces, destroying the municipal states and we are trying to continue housing and public works. It is like a reality with all these nuances, an end of the year in which people are in great economic difficulty and in great fear. Those who voted for Milei are wondering what happened to the promises of the light at the end of the tunnel or the short V. That is why it is imperative to resist and take care of this care what can.” “It must be done by the provincial government and an alternative must be created,” he gave a speech.
Kicillof sent a message for 2027: “It is not the launch of a candidacy, it is the construction of an alternative to Milei.”
Referring to the plenary session of the leaders of the Right to the Future movement (MDF) that he presided over days ago, the governor of Buenos Aires explained that “it is not the start of a campaign or a candidacy,” but rather the beginning of “the construction of an alternative to Milei.”
According to him, the call goes beyond Peronism and targets the popular sector. “This goes strictly beyond Peronism. It concerns the popular field, those who believe in the federal, the productive, in sovereignty, in science, in national culture. And it also goes beyond the province of Buenos Aires, because there is a lot of organization there, a lot of sectors, a lot of desire.” “Not everyone ate the cookie that Milei sold.”
When asked who belongs to this political group, he replied: “None of this is directed against other areas of Peronism, of popular change. Everyone makes their own construction. I think there is a space that deserves to be developed and built. A participatory, open space with a semblance of movement.”
“It’s a moment when There are still two years until 2027, but that cannot be tolerated because these are everyday business closures and we take care of them. It’s not that we exaggerate or philosophize. It is the reality we live in and we have to give it a reason,” he concluded.
