“This is not an economic issue and it does not affect the provinces,” he said. And he warned that “Sergio Massa’s silence says it all.”
The economist and former head of Banco Nación, Carlos Melconian, spoke of the contempt of President Alberto Fernández regarding the co-participation ruling of the Supreme Court in favor of the City of Buenos Aires and in a harsh warning he said: “The government’s decision opens the door to Venezuela”.
Regarding the President’s economic arguments for not complying with the measure, he warned that they are an excuse: “This is 100% institutional”“What is the value of the law, what does a deposit, a bond, a piece of land in Argentina mean today?”raised the economist, who also considered the government’s decision of not wanting to abide by the Court’s decision “very serious”.
In that sense, “It is urgent to find a way out” because otherwise “we are liquidated”said.
“You have to start working. There was a discretionary management of funds to give it to the Province of Buenos Aires. This decision opens the door to Venezuela in Argentina. The problem here is the future, there is a lot of economic nervousness,” he said with concern.
In dialogue with Early Saturday on Radio Miter, the economist assured that what was established by Nación “it is a very serious problem” and that the silence of the Minister of Economy Sergio Massa “says it all”.
“It is a very serious problem. Sergio Massa’s silence says it all. These things like Sharing take you back five squares. It is urgent to find a way out. It is very serious institutionally”he warned. And he added: “I play my credibility before the Argentine society that it is an excuse economically speaking. It is the least important. It’s politically wrong. What does a deposit, a bond or a piece of land mean today in Argentina? Any he asked himself.
Then he rounded off with a World Cup metaphor: “It’s as if the AFA executive committee invaded the field in the Mbappé penalty and didn’t let you kick. And then you want Argentina to win the world championship. When the referee charges, they don’t let you kick… That team has no future.”
And he continued: “At school they teach you the anthem, Aurora and that there are three powers of an independent nature, where one is to take care of the Constitution. It is very serious.”
Finally, Melconian affirmed that the measure taken by the Highest Court “it will not affect the income of the provinces”as the ruling party does.
“This is not an economic issue and it does not affect the provinces. Here there was a discretionary management of funds that were taken from the City to give them to the province from Buenos Aires. They got into trouble and today you have to reverse that process. It happens that the rest of the executive committee invaded the court, ”he concluded.
