“It’s stupid economics.” This phrase that remained embedded in the annals of history seems not to have been fully grasped by the national government. The sharp drop in sales caused by the abrupt deterioration of the real salarywhich in some sectors reaches 40%, causes production to fall at those same values, causing a series of layoffs and suspensions that do nothing but further affect a deeply weakened internal market.
This vicious circle in which we find ourselves behaves like a spiral into which the majority of Argentines are sinking day by day. It is not true that products lowered their prices and we entered deflation. If in the month of April the index was 8.8% positive, it is clearly verified that inflation continues to be very high despite the sacrifice forced on society as a whole and despite the fact that increases such as electricity and electricity were stopped. gas already programmed.
Sectors such as textiles or metalworking are working at the limit of their resistance, operating at 37% or 38% of installed capacity and below their equilibrium point. SMEs continue, in this framework, making a heroic effort not to part with their workforce, essential factor for a future comeback. But how many months can we continue working at a loss, business owners ask?
Nothing indicates that President Milei will modify his economic approach. His stubbornness and stubbornness, demonstrated in each of his attitudes such as the one he carried out in Spain, puts us on guard as social conflicts multiply, social anguish increases and the deterioration of the quality of life is reflected in the fall of medicines (which dropped -35% in April) or in the sharp decrease in the tons of garbage collected daily (-62%). This puts SMEs in an unsustainable situation.
To this level of conflict we must add that the DNU is still in force, that the basic law is still under discussion with a not too optimistic outlook and that it will bring, for the continuity of the national industry and for the Argentine people in general, a deterioration like never before. our country has lived. First because It grants the president broad legislative powers and therefore he can dispense with Congress and manage himself without being accountable for his government acts. The regime of incentives for large investments, in practice, is a business with a name and surname, since nothing indicates that investments will arrive in cash but rather that they will be drawn to comply with a law that has too many loopholes encouraging leaks and that It commits the entire Nation for a period of 30 years without anyone or anything being able to do anything about it since the court that would intervene in the event of disputes would be the ICSID.
We become, overnight, in one of the most expensive countries in dollars, one of the least competitive at an industrial level and we destroyed the domestic market, at the same time as export. HE continues to prioritize the economy since only farm, mining and energy products are given importance. This model of country has no less than 25 million inhabitants left over. The genocide that is being carried out with retirees, cancer patients, the hundreds of families who wander the streets because they were left homeless as a result of the crazy rise in rental prices and the unemployed who search in the trash cans for a little of food, is it so that the model closes?
It is useless to continue crying in the corners. We must fix this, together, in unity of judgment and action. In the macrismo we come out with the slogan “NOT ONE SME LESS”. Today is the time to fight for that slogan. A company is destroyed too quickly (in practice two to three are closing daily) but it is very difficult to reopen it. Because it is difficult for the businessman to regain confidence, desire, will and strength. That’s why let’s build a support network among everyone and with the help of municipal and provincial governments that are still in conditions, either by contributing purchases or financing with local currencies. In the end, in the same way we resisted previous crises. Or have we already forgotten about the “barter club”, or that the country came to have 12 quasi-currencies and we move forward?
Let us prepare to fight one of the toughest battles that our society has endured in the last 50 years and let us do so with the optimism of knowing that “together we are strong, but organized we are invincible.”
