The head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodriguez Larretarejected this Saturday the recent sayings of the vice president Cristina Kirchner relative to the amount of dollars that are generated by the city of Buenos Aires. “The data is wrong”assured following the exmandataria argued yesterday that the district is the one that spends the most US currency and the one that produces the least.
“The data is wrong: she does not count the first generation of dollars from Buenos Aires, which is the export of services”refuted Larreta in dialogue with TNduring an act for Independence Day, and I add: “The City generates 7 billion dollars per year in the generation of services; but, beyond that, this is to continue fighting, to continue looking for differences, confronting the capital with the interior”.
The president made the clarification following yesterday, during the opening ceremony of a cinema in the Santa Cruz city of El Calafate, Cristina Kirchner ask the audience what it is the district that spends the most dollars and does not produce “not one”. “CABA”was the response, to which the vice president added: “Yes of course”.
Next, Larreta offered a series of definitions in relation to various conjunctural situations. when they asked him how he saw the end of the mandate of President Alberto Fernández the next year, he replied: “With great concern. we are with one inflation which in July is already projected above 8%. Also, we don’t see any ideas and that’s why I’m very worried regarding today’s Argentina, I’m not even telling you the one in a year and a half”. However, he predicted: “I have no doubt that 2023 is going to be Together for Change (JxC)”.
Later in LN+deepened: “Today we have galloping inflation and it’s not that people don’t make it to the end of the month: they don’t make it to the weekend anymore. that generates a lot distressabove all because there is no direction. There is no plan here; I don’t know what will happen on Monday in Argentina. The Government has been two and a half years and never presented a plan. And as long as they continue to fight each other and continue to show contradictions and differences, this is not going to improve.
Later, the head of government was asked for his opinion on the appointment of Silvina Batakis as Minister of Economy in replacement of Martin Guzman. In this regard, he said: “Let’s wait to see what he proposes. She is a minister appointed several days ago he did not say anything regarding what direction he sees for the economy Argentina. This also worries me, because sample improvisation. Days go by and he does not present a plan. and has had some very unhappy comments on the subject of travel and the restriction of dollars.”
On the last point, he added: “Work must be encouraged. Instead of restricting what we have to do is multiply the generation of dollars, importing. Instead of generating, they restrict. If there is an industry that produces a lot of work, it is tourism and If you prohibit them from traveling, you will have limitations. On the contrary, I hope much more travel and many more people come to visit us”.
Later, when asked regarding the role of the opposition in the current scenario, he stated: “Today my main responsibility is to lead the City in the best possible way. And as opposition in general we have a role in Congress to stop government initiatives that go once morest the institutions: without going any further, the expansion of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation to 25 members promoted by the vice president. That is a very important role. Now, the management of the economy is carried out by the Government. We have to prepare for the next period”.
At that time, Larreta was asked if his statements this weekin which he expressed that he dreams of “Be part of the solution to the problems” that Argentina has been dragging for decades, were a kind of launching of its presidential candidacy, as some interpreted. So he clarified: “It has nothing to do with a launch. Obviously, I work within JxC in the elaboration of a plan to take Argentina forward, but these are not times for candidacies, there is a long way to go before the election”.
