How does he do it? According to CristinaThe government is intervening in the dollar with a 2% monthly “crawling-peg” table; money, by setting an ultra-negative reference interest rate; and labor, by putting a ceiling on collective bargaining negotiations.

The president’s first reaction was sober. “Fact: Private dollar deposits returned to the level they had on the day of the 2019 presidential election (27-OCT-2019) for the first time. Since that day, they had never reached the USD19.5bn that there is today. End,” he posted on X.
In his review this Friday, Cristina argued that Milei has implemented a fiscal adjustment based on non-payment of debts and the withdrawal of the State from essential functions, which creates a “lethal combo” for the Argentine economy, especially in a context of bimonetary economy“This model has resulted in a brutal decline in economic activity, and the country has become more expensive in dollars than many developed countries,” he said.

Cristina Kirchner’s response: “I’ll wait for you at the Patria and I’ll explain a little bit about governing”
Faced with such provocation, the former president did not stay behind. Considering that Milei had chosen the Twitter neighborhood to argue with her, Cristina hit where it hurts the most: “Talking about economics by saying anything on television sets or writing plagiarism from books is one thing.. Governing Argentinais quite different. And from this, from the way the Argentines are living, it is clear that you You have no idea“.
To top it off, the former president counterattacked with an offer: “Whenever you want – because you have time… and you spend it messing around on social media – I’ll wait for you at the Patria and I’ll explain a little bit to you.. Warm greetings… To you and to all the “forces of heaven”. My God!

Last round?
He president picked up the gauntlet and, in his element, he again insisted on the chicanery against the former president. “.@CFKArgentina Don’t be so nervous, you’ll like my class.… At the same time, you should review the intellectual property issues and at the same time show us your law degree…”, he said.
As expected, he declined the invitation to the Patria Institute: “Regarding governing, if the model is yours, I’ll pass. I came to rescue the country, not to sink it. CIAO !!!“, he concluded.
Once again, Cristina reappeared in X and responded with redoubled chicanery. “Oh President! You see that I am right! It only confirms what has been said: he spends his time messing around on the networks. “Get off Twitter and start managing the State, because Argentines are having a very, very bad time. THE END,” he wrote.
Will it continue after Milei’s “private lesson”?
