The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, assured today that former president Mauricio Macri “ran out of gasoline”by maintaining that “couldn’t” or “didn’t want to” carry out the necessary reforms to transform the country during his time as president.
“Macri ran out of gas. It doesn’t matter if it was because he didn’t want to or couldn’t, it’s almost secondary. When you analyze that period, you see that inflation was not controlled, nor was the fiscal deficit, and it ended with stocks”he listed in a radio interview and added: “What needed to be done was not done.”
His statements come in the midst of negotiations with the PRO for the definition of electoral engineering for next year’s Legislative elections. For Adorni, a large part of the electorate that gave victory to La Libertad Avanza is not exclusively libertarian, but supported the former president of Together for Change, but given his lack of answers, he turned to Javier Milei.
Asked about a possible electoral agreement between the ruling party and the PRO, Adorni reiterated the premise that the head of state expressed when stating that either they draw alliances in all the districts or they go separately. “There are no gray areas. It is prohibited to deceive the electorate, lie and do old political tricks”he stated in statements to radio Rivadavia.
Manuel Adorni asked to eliminate PASO
The spokesperson also assured that the reasonable thing would be to eliminate the Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory elections (PASO) due to their high economic cost and anticipated that they will work to build consensus in Congress.
“There is no valid justification for us to make Argentines pay millions of pesos to settle internal partisan disputes,” he argued.
“Argentines are not there to spend money, in a country with a lot of poverty, spending 150 million on a political whim seems like absolute delirium to us. Whether the legislative path is paved or not, we do not know, but we understand that the PASO must stop exist,” he insisted.
On the eve of the year 2025, with the upcoming legislative elections, Adorni maintained that if the elections took place today, the ruling party would have the support of society and assured that he would compete as a candidate only if the President requested it. “If the elections were held today we would have the support of the people to do what we are doing,” he summarized.
“I speak for the entire Cabinet, we have the only obligation to push the President’s agenda and if we do not want to do it, we will be respected, but we have to leave. If the president tells me to be a candidate, I will be one, just as “if he asks me to go home”he stated.
A year of libertarian management
On the other hand, he rated the first year of the libertarian administration with the highest score and defined Milei as “a unique leader who has managed to lead a highly motivated work team.”
“I never thought I would leave each Cabinet meeting with the feeling that we are doing the right thing and that we are going to change Argentina,” he said, adding: “Having a motivating leader who is always pushing you is the key.” “What we have done is absolutely titanic, what does not mean that 90% of the things are yet to be done.”
At the same time, the presidential spokesperson denied that La Libertad Avanza seeks to polarize with the two-time president Cristina Kirchner and her space, and although he assured that he is “an important person,” he assured that “he does not move even half an centimeter of change.” that they drive.
“We are not interested in polarizing with anyone. We are not interested in what the rest do,” he stressed, and clarified that “what they do or do not do” the head of the Justicialista Party and Governor Axel Kicillof, as faces of the Peronist opposition, It is not of interest to the national leader.
Finally, the presidential spokesperson stated that the Cabinet pursues the objective of transforming Argentina into the “freest country in the world” and removing State regulations. “We will continue working on the macro order and on people’s freedoms. The objective is to continue working so that Argentina is a free country without the weight of the State on the head of each inhabitant,” he concluded.
