The economist and deputy of Together for Change Luciano Laspina referred this Tuesday in girl table, by LN+to the debate within Kirchnerism in the face of the 2023 elections and speculated with two possible scenarios in the fight that space Cristina Kirchner It is for survival, in the midst of the strong internal dispute of the Front of All.
In dialogue with José Del Rio, Laspina predicted a “crisis of the populist model, of populism without resources, of 20 years of political demagoguery”, which is why he maintained that from Kirchnerism “they want to anticipate and see the best strategy” facing next year’s elections.
He then raised two possibilities. “The first is to get to a place and see what happens”, detailed the opposition legislator. He then referred to a “more plausible” second option. “The other, which Cristina likes, is to maintain certain flags and keep throwing money away until the elections are over,” he stated.
He also ventured on the course that Alberto Fernández would take. “With the introduction of Silvina Batakis in the economic cabinet, The President demonstrates that despite changing names, what he does not seek is to alter the path that he himself set outLaspina said.
And he added: “He wants to maintain the same line that he clung to since he decided to agree with the IMF: reach the next elections and hand over the command. He is not willing under any circumstances to change the economic course. In the meantime, Cristina Kirchner adds ministers to distribute and not adjust”.
With respect to landing of Batakis at the Ministry of Economythe deputy of Together for Change spoke about the position that, in his opinion, the new member of the Government will take in the year and a half of management ahead. “What he is going to do is ‘guzmanismo’ without Guzmán”, I consider.
Laspina stressed that the official’s intention would be to “hold on to the only anchor that remains and that is a source of credibility: the IMF.” He then brought up the talk that Batakis had with the manager of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva.
“There was a conversation and many of the measures recently announced by the minister emerged from that conversation. The bet is to meet the minimum of the goals set, not wanting to incur a mega-exchange crisis”, specified the economist.
Even in the face of the Fund’s willingness to “accompany Argentina in this difficult moment”, the legislator warned: “We see a lax IMF, which does not want to be guilty of having unplugged from Argentina in the midst of the crisis. Who knows if they are going to follow us to the cemetery”.
In the last stages of his intervention in small tablelimited himself to talking about the “recurring” problems that afflict the Argentine economy and focused on one particular: the obstacles to imports and the lack of products for purchase and sale.
As shortages progress in certain areas, such as the automotive and pharmaceutical sectors, among others, Laspina explained why it is a “difficult reality to change”.
“On the one hand, nothing can be done if they continue with the brutal closure of imports,” he denounced. And he added next: “The second thing is that the political crisis and the uncertainty that has been generated in recent days has made people lose the reference regarding the value of the currency after the dollar skyrocketed. He who has pesos, wants merchandise. And the one who has merchandise, he does not want pesos”.
