“Fede, don’t get carried away by enthusiasm”, he advised the former president of the Central Bank, who was the intellectual creator of the reforms that La Libertad Avanza called the “Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines”. “He has to pay attention to those particular circumstances. Each producer has a theory for why his sector is different, it is not necessary to say that they are all the same”, he affirmed in dialogue with LN+.
“Sturzenegger’s work is very important, he will be responsible for eliminating formalities and, above all, regulating the Bases law, a task that could take weeks or months,” he explained and continued: “But you will have to be careful how you write things to get it right from a formal point of view.”.

I laughed my head off. The reference is not you. The guys who make decisions don’t give a damn about what economists or journalists think, because their decisions come from understanding the process,” he commented.
De Pablo added that the rise of the blue dollar and the fall of bonds and stocks were not only due to the national news but also to a global shock: “I am not an expert in the international market, but I listen. If you want to understand what happened this week, you have to know that there were also adverse international effects and it was not just something in Argentina.”.

“The transformation agenda is to accompany the reform of the State using the powers of the law Bases. “It will also involve developing an administrative career, the essential aspect of which will be an entrance exam to the civil service, like the one used in countries with professional civil service,” Sturzenegger explained in a post on his social network X account.
“The anonymous entrance exam will allow us to leave behind the nightmare of a State plagued by sycophants or political cronies that good Argentines do not deserve and who violate the spirit of our Constitution of separating politics from public employment,” he added. In this regard, those close to the official considered the systems for training and admission of personnel to be successful. used in organizations such as the Foreign MinistryThese mechanisms could be replicated for other areas of public administration.
In his thread, Sturzenegger highlighted that he will develop a “transformation agenda” to implement a reform of the State “using the powers of the Bases law,” which were granted to the Executive Branch. This agenda is made up of “decrees, regulations and resolutions that only put their foot down on production. We are going to need a lot of help from the private sector to identify these hidden costs and be able to help eliminate them,” he explained.
“A deregulation agenda They are not subsidized loans or tax reductions. They are about eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy.“The deregulation of the air transport market that will be announced in the coming days is an example of simple changes that will allow connecting more cities,” said Sturzenegger.
He explained that the President had instructed him that the Ministry under his charge should work on two central issues: the aforementioned reform of the State and the deepening of the “process of economic freedom.” In this regard, he pointed out that “the best example of the benefits of economic freedom is the repeal of the Rental Law which generated an increase in the supply of properties and a 40% drop in the real value of rents. Let’s imagine this replicated in other sectors.”
