In radio statements, the legislator said that “ does not live in a jar” and that has many “friends and neighbors who are not having a good time“.
Despite the recognition of the complex social situation, the deputy referred to the importance of parliamentary work and stressed that citizens “We have to learn that we cannot spend more than we have.“. In reference to this, Zago gave the example of the debate on pension reform and stated: “Nobody likes to say no to the increase in pensions”.
Oscar Zago’s opinion on economic reality
In radio statements, Zago analyzed the current economic and social situation in the country. The legislator said that he “does not live in a jar” and knows the complexity of the situation because he has “friends and neighbors who are not having a good time.” However, the deputy was blunt and assured that citizens “We have to learn that we cannot spend more than we have.“.
Along these lines, the member of the MID referred to Javier Milei’s veto of the pension reform bill and assured that “nobody likes to say no to the increase in pensioners.” Days ago, the deputy had also declared that he did not feel “no hero” after supporting the annulment of the legislative text and participating in the roasted at Quinta de Olivoswhere the ruling party celebrated the Defense of the presidential veto in the Lower House.
Regarding the future of Milei’s government, Zago warned: “There is a condemnation from the Argentine people that if you do not fulfill what you promised, they will not support you in the legislative elections or in future elections. Today we have to vote and all the deputies must be aware. The Argentina that wasted money has to be left behind.“.
The statements are made in the context of the debate on the privatization of Aerolíneas Argentinas that will begin today in the House of Representatives. Milei’s administration hopes to be able to give an opinion for debate the project next week in the chamber.
