After his return from the international tour, President Javier Milei was scheduled to lead the national cabinet meeting at the Casa Rosada, but surprisingly, the meeting began without his presence. According to the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, Milei followed the meeting from the Olivos Residence due to “agenda issues.” At the same time, the president confirmed that he will speak in Congress for the opening of ordinary sessions. Regarding inflation, the spokesperson said: “it is a horrible and disappointing number,” but they understand that they are on the “right path.”
The absence of the president at the beginning of the meeting generated speculation and questions at the daily press conference that Adorni offered in the Conference Hall at 11. Adorni assured that Nicolás Posse led the meeting and Milei, due to work commitments, participated from Olivos.
Adorni also addressed the inflationary issue, noting that although «“They are going through delicate months, we are on the right path.” and that the current effort is necessary to solve Argentina’s structural problems.
«It is clear that if we are discussing a country where it is difficult for us to pay for the supermarket, pay for services and transportation without subsidies, we clearly have a problem of absolute impoverishment.. “Fault of a policy that has impoverished us decades ago,” he continued.
That way, He admitted that 20% inflation is not a cause for celebration and stressed that President Milei is committed to solving the country’s economic problems..
He defined inflation as “the worst of taxes”, being regressive and affecting the most vulnerable sectors. Adorni expressed that they are aware of the delicate economic situation and reaffirmed Milei’s commitment to finding solutions, although he did not highlight any specific measure.
“Inflation is very unequal since it affects a person with fewer resources more,” he asserted and maintained that “A businessman has a lot of other problems that people who are not businessmen don’t have.”.
«The government’s way is not to lie and be absolutely sincere. It is a horrible and disappointing number. “No one can celebrate 20% inflation,” closed the inflationary issue.
After the resignation of Giordano in Anses and Royón in Energia, Adorni said that they have no planned changes in the cabinet
Regarding possible changes in the cabinet, The spokesperson stated that they will be decided by the president and that ANSES will define them in the coming days.
«There are no changes in the cabinet that are defined. The changes will always be due to their non-alignment with the country’s project,” he said and recognized that: “There are going to be any changes that the president wants to make.”.
Además, Regarding the consultation on the appointment of the new head of Anses, he assured that it will become official in the coming days. “A strictly technical profile,” he announced that the next Anses head will have these characteristics and thus ended speculation regarding the entry of some Pro bishop.
“President Milei came to power not to please anyone, but to effectively solve the problems that Argentina has.”Adorni emphasized, emphasizing the president’s determination to address the country’s challenges.
Adorni confirmed that Milei will not convene the governors: “We already have an open dialogue with everyone.”
Regarding the dialogue with governors, He stressed that they are open to conversations with those willing to dialogue with the Government.
Despite Milei’s initial absence from the cabinet meeting, The day was marked by the discussion of critical issues such as inflation, possible changes in the cabinet and the desire for dialogue with the governors.
What Adorni said regarding the retirement formula following the fall of the reform proposed in the Omnibus Law
“What we intended was to discuss a new formula. That didn’t progress. We will continue to comply with the mobility law and compensate retirees in the best possible way so that they do not continue to lose, as they have been doing for a long time. It seems that retirees have problems today, and the truth is that I was born and retirees were already paid a pittance,’ Adorni said this morning in his traditional press conference.
“There are many more people who have retired thanks to a moratorium than those who have contributed all their lives.”
