Shortly following having presented himself as a candidate for vice president of Boca and four days before the runoff that will define the next president, Mauricio Macri gave his forecasts for Sunday and harshly criticized Sergio Massa. In a talk, he argued that the Unión por la Patria candidate “has lied to all of us,” while Javier Miley “He never stole and he never lied.”
The former head of state spoke with Iván Duque, who governed Colombia between 2018 and 2022, and there he revealed the reason for his support for the La Libertad Avanza candidate. “The economic situation is dramatic. It is an unprecedented crisis, but we are traveling at a projected inflation of 140%,” he assured.
He also stated that in the country there is “a destruction of trust because the minister (NdR: of Economy, Sergio Massa) is at the same time a candidate” and referred to the November 19 runoff: “We are in a closing election, which is even. Incredible because the candidate is the Minister of Economy who has generated all the problems”.
Optimistic, as he told Duque in the framework of his talk for The Wilson Center, he spoke of the PRO’s support for the libertarian and attacked, as on so many occasions, populism: “Fear and populism generate that (voters in ) the elections, even in this disaster, because of the fears they put into them, they prefer not to change.

In another passage of the talk where he was consulted regarding security and inflation, Macri said that “populism is complicit in drug trafficking” and maintained that during his administration between 2015 and 2019 he managed “in part” to end it. “The peace of mind I have is that if we did it at some point, we are going to do it once more,” he said.
Furthermore, he agreed with the libertarian presidential candidate: “We must urgently lower, as Milei proposes, it is the strict reduction of public spending to balance the accounts, and from there open the country”.

When asked by Duque what he might say to undecided voters, he maintained that Massa was part of the administration that governed for the last four years and declared: “Massa has lied to all of us. Milei never stole and never lied”.
In addition, he defended the libertarian economist and his proposals: “There are things he proposes that sound extreme but he will have to negotiate them in Congress, because he does not have enough votes. Therefore there is no danger. “He is a person who represents ordinary people.”
Finally, he said that if Milei asks him for help to carry out his government “he will have it” and spoke regarding the debate, where the performance of the LLA candidate was worse than that of his Peronist rival. “In the debate you saw a professional politician who in a psychopathic (sic) way constructs falsehoods, tries to cheat… once morest someone who without experience went to answer questions in good faith,” he said.
And he concluded: “Argentina cannot continue betting on the living.”
