The candidate for President of the Nation showed his differences with the space of Javier Milei and reaffirmed the need to have a national currency.
Jose Luis Espert spoke about the dollarization of the economy, one of the topics in vogue within public opinion and he was more cautious with respect to other referents of the opposition. The candidate for president of the Nation in the elections 2023 showed its differences with the space of javier milei and reaffirmed the need for a national currency.
“Our government platform is common sense, there is nothing to invent, it’s all made up. Dollarizing can be the icing on the cake, but it can never -at a meal- be the starter or the main course. The entrance and the main dish, long before thinking about the monetary system, is to go to change the labor laws,” explained the national deputy of Avanza Libertad.

“The day you have international inflation, that day it will make sense to discuss what monetary system we want now. Do we want the euro? Do we want the real one? Do we want the dollar? Or do we want to have a Central Bank?” he added.
“Having a healthy currency with an independent Central Bank allows you, when you have an unfavorable external shock, to accommodate monetary policy a bit, and devalue your currency so that it does not eat up all the negative real shock in unemployment of the working people. That’s what I think about dollarization,” she explained in statements to CNN Radio.
Espert, controversial about the pickets and social plans
In another order of subjects, he spoke out against the picket march developed this Thursday in front of the Ministry of Social Development: “If they resist jail and if not bullet”.
The opposition deputy described the marches of the piquetero movements as a “crime”: “The pickets They are unconstitutional, they are a crime, it is criminal to do this. Do you know why delinquent? Because it is committing a crime and committing a crime is breaking the law. Here you are violating the Constitution and the Penal Code”.
“It has to be done because otherwise this is the law of the jungle,” he added and proposed a series of measures to contain the protesters: “Here there should be, in the best of cases, a hydrant truck”.
In addition, the economist referred to social plans and criticized the movements as intermediaries of state aid: “Enough of this culture of the plan, of the social organization that profits from the beneficiary of the plan. Plans must be audited and the plan well maintained since it has to be conditioned over time, it cannot last a lifetime. To the social organizations not a peso, there cannot be an intermediary in the plan”.
