The libertarian economist spoke through Twitter with a message in which he lambasted, once again, the Government and in particular President Alberto Fernández and his former minister, Guzmán, for the current economic situation in Argentina.
“Celestino Rodrigo is wanted,” said Milei on his social network account and asked to convene “a competent and courageous minister” to carry out the necessary reforms. As he said, he should be someone willing to “endure his name going down in history in a horrible way.” “This is so, because when the caste has to adjust it won’t and everything will blow up,” he added.
Following this line, he considered that the key for a stabilization program to be successful “is that it be credible.” But at the same time, he pointed out that to achieve it, “it must also be consistent and whoever announces it must have a reputation and political support.”
That is why he pointed out that with Alberto Fernández and Kirchnerism it would be impossible. “Faced with a lying President and K’s bad reputation, not even Gardel can stop this”, Shooting. In addition, he expressed that due to “the terrible reputation of the K, not even the consistency and reputation that Friedman, Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, R. Lucas (Jr.) among others could give, will be able to stabilize the economy.”
In this sense, he said that the fundamental thing to understand is that “Although there is a solution and hope for a better country, the political caste (the ruling party and the opposition) are not willing to do anything that needs to be done.” With which, in his opinion “the biggest problem is that the solution, at least today, is in the hands of the problem (the entire caste)”.
Who was Celestino Rodrigo?
Celestino Rodrigo was the Minister of Economy of the government of María Estela Martínez de Perón for just 45 days between June 2 and July 17, 1975. During that period, he applied a shock doctrine with adjustment that pushed the country into an era of recession after 11 years of growth.
The measures implied a devaluation of 61% of the “peso law” in relation to the commercial dollar. In addition, it applied an exchange split for the tourist dollar that went from 10 to 45 pesos. In turn, it implemented an average increase of 100% in all public services and transportation. In parallel, it also raised fuel prices by 180%, electricity rates by 75% and wages by 80% (see more in Active Memory).
Cavallo, the best in history, according to Milei
In addition to vindicating the figure of Rodrigo, Miley He took the opportunity to remember who in his opinion was the best minister in history, Sunday Cavallo. The economist, who held the Economy portfolio during the Menem administration, applied spending reduction measures and, contrary to the doctrine preached by Milei, increased taxes such as VAT and Personal Assets. Likewise, he was one of the intellectual authors of the convertibility that led the country to the crisis of 2001.
However, Milei acknowledged his work “during his tenure as Carlos Menem’s Economy Minister” by pointing out that he was “the best minister in history”. However, he said that he was “tried for his action with Fernando de la Rúa.” “Without political support, even Carlos Gardel fails…”, he affirmed.
To conclude, he opined that “if you add to the lack of political support that you put the worst players, the results will be worse… And if, in addition, the caste will try to maintain the same size of portions in a cake that shrinks… they are going to destroy the private sector that lives honestly from its work…”.
On Saturday, after Guzmán’s resignation was spread, the libertarian economist said he had warned “from the first moment that Guzmán was incompetent and that he was not fit for the position. In addition, I always showed that he was an accomplice of the political caste that They have told me everything… A classic argento… Let the next one happen”.
