(Special envoy to Mar del Plata.-) In the middle of his visit to the city of Mar del Plata and after leading a meeting with Argentine businessmenthe chief of staff Guillermo Francos spoke to accredited media outlets about private sector concerns and projections.
“We have had a long talk with the businessmen who asked me many questions about the political situation, Congress and the Government,” summarized the official, who assured that “we gave them a message of great optimism and we believe that the Argentina has gone through very difficult times but today we are in a much better situation than the one we found in the country. when President Milei took office. With a lot of effort from all Argentines we are improving and all the indices say so; Of course everyone wants to see many more things, but that is impossible. The results are not instantaneous.
Later, he stressed that “what we have done up to this point was reform something that has been involved in politics in the last 70 or 80 years in Argentina, which is the fiscal deficit chilling that there was always beyond some small period. We have moved to a fiscal surplus.” It was in that context that he asked himself: “If we do not manage to generate investment at this timewhich is where the political and economic culture of this country is changing and the world is looking at us differently, when are they going to do it?“
At the same time, he also referred to the stocks: “When the different valuations of the dollar come together, the difficulties of the entry and exit of foreign currency are eliminated. […] There is no specific time to eliminate the trap, but rather it happens little by little. because the confluence of valuations is generating it.”
The official’s statements were made within the framework of his arrival to Mar del Plata to participate in the 60th edition of the IDEA Colloquiumwhich brings together businessmen and leaders under the title “If not now, when.” The Minister of Economy was already present on stage Luis Caputo and the governors Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), Raul Jalil (Catamarca), Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Gustavo Valdes (Currents).

Guillermo Francos referred to the national situation
Asked about possible negotiations between Pink House and the CGT for the acceptance of blocks as measures of strength, Franks responded: “We never made an agreement with the unions to eliminate the different sanctions for blockades. The only thing is that there is a question of interpretation of what is interpreted as a blockade, but the Government is absolutely convinced that the block as a form of protest is not admissible”
Likewise, he referred to the call from the Minister of Infrastructure of the province of Buenos Aires, Gabriel Katopodiswho promotes a national blackout of 10 minutes on October 31 to demand the increase in electricity rates.
“If you call a blackout, maybe you want to pay for the electricity because you don’t have the money to pay for it, they won’t give you the bills.”he said and concluded: “When he was national minister he did not worry about seriously managing public works, because they left a disaster with 4,000 public works paralyzed.”
