President Luis Lacalle Pou He ruled out problems in the relationship with his partner Argentina, Javier Milei, pointing out that “you can’t fix what’s broken,” after being asked by the press about the bilateral meeting ten days ago.

In addition to highlighting the dialogue with Milei, Lacalle Pou He clarified that his visit was “as a citizen and not as a president”, with the objective of visiting the stand of “a sheep of a Uruguayan agricultural school”.
The importance of agriculture
Although he admitted that he did not plan to make any speech, he was invited to the stage by the president of the Argentine Rural Society, Nicolás Pino, during the 136th edition of the International Livestock, Agriculture and Industry Exhibition at La Rural.
In this context, he said that “the agricultural activity It is the most basic in the world, but at the same time, it increasingly has more technology and demands,” referring to innovation in the agro.
He also mentioned that the activity in the field “has elements that affect national policies under an activity that is not governed only by what happens in Argentina and Uruguay” and he specified: “We know that we are price takers and when they move Australia and New Zealand or purchases of China It changes everything for us.”
On the other hand, in line with what happened during the week at an event in Rural Square, He highlighted rural unionism and the concept of “coopetition”, which includes cooperation and competition between producers.
“Maybe the rural unionism “It is not professional or a unique activity. The producers are on the other side of the fence, with their balance sheets and their things. Nobody requires them to practice unionism. To begin with, it is an act of generosity, nobody requires them to practice unionism, but it is an act that benefits us,” Lacalle Pou stressed in the neighboring country.
