The minister of Economy, Sergio Massaanticipated this Saturday that “in the next few hours” will be announced New measures for the self-employed and informal workersand next week the same will be done for the small and medium businesses.
“To the self-employed who are waiting, rest assured, in the next few hours we will also make a decision to benefit those professionals and merchants who work and undertake autonomously and they are waiting for a response from us. I want to say the same to those who are today outside the formal economyalmost three million Argentines who are not part of the formal registered population but they are part of the economically active population“, he claimed Massa this noon at the inauguration of an underpass in the Buenos Aires district of Argentine Falklands.
Likewise, “in the coming days” “more measures for the SMEs and that they continue to generate employment and pay less taxes“, advanced the head of the Treasury Palace.
The minister pointed out that these decisions, like the increase in the non-taxable minimum of the Income Tax to $1,770,000 since October and the VAT refund on the basic basket“they show each Argentine what path I am going to take as president, which is that of salary recovery because today we are very late.”
“They want to instill in us the idea that we are a failed society when the world sees that in the next 20 years We are one of the countries with the greatest possibility of economic development with the talent of our people, for the wealth of our land and subsoil, and in energy and mineral matters,” said the presidential candidate. In this context, he added: “If tomorrow I died, were born again and had to choose where to do it, I would choose Argentina a thousand times again”.

On the other hand, he criticized the debt contracted in 2018 with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the “largest” in both the country and the organization. “The future of Argentina was mortgaged and it leads us to have to constantly renegotiate and discuss,” Massa lamented.
“Those four months of fighting, negotiation and discussion generated in me, in some way, that sensation of feeling that as a country our hands were tied”he added.
Faced with this situation, he highlighted that “an agreement was closed,” and noted that “We are going to truly recover our sovereignty when we pay the Fund and tell them to leave Argentinathat we are a free nation, and that we want to recover our decision.”

Massa vindicated the Malvinas issue and the figure of Pope Francis
Massa claimed the issue Falklands and the Argentine claim of sovereignty over the islands, as well as the figure of the Pope Franciscoto differentiate itself from the controversial statements this week by the candidates of Freedom Advances (LLA) on those topics.
“Some say that we should give away the Falklandsthat the kelpers must be given rights,” he said Massa when inaugurating this afternoon a new low-level step in the Buenos Aires party of Argentine Falklandsfrom where he confirmed that the islands “They were, are and will be Argentines”.
“We will never give away the memory of our combatants neither the blood of our fallen nor the pride and honor of our armed forces but above all of our sovereignty,” said the official candidate in his speech.
This week, Diana Mondino -the economist who would occupy the Chancellery if Javier Milei win the presidential elections – told the British newspaper The Telegraph that “the rights of the islanders will be respected”in case the far-right leader arrives in December at the Pink House and judged that “the concept that one can impose on people what can be done or what should be done is extremely feudal and naive.”
Milei later reinforced the position of Mondino and maintained that for the Argentina take back the islands there must be “an agreement with England” and to reach that understanding “the position of the people who live” in the archipelago usurped by the United Kingdom from 1833.
When inaugurating this afternoon the viaduct that was called “Pope Francisco”, Massa He also took advantage of his speech to express that “We are proud that the Pope is Argentine” and “we want to pay tribute to our Pope.”
The statements of the candidate U.P. They arrive after this week Milei will renew his questions about the figure of the Argentine pope Jorge bergoglioby pointing out that he has “affinity with murderous communists”.
In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Milei said this week that the Pope “plays politically” and “has shown affinity with dictators like (Fidel) Castro and (Nicolás) Maduro.” “He has an affinity for murderous communists. Considers social justice a central element of its mission and that is very complicated because social justice is stealing the fruit of one person’s work and giving it to another,” added the libertarian candidate.
