President Javier Milei spoke again about his government’s plans for 2025 and confirmed that he will move forward with a plan “deep chainsaw” and that has more than 3,000 pending reforms. Furthermore, he said that next year’s axes will be the deepening of labor and pension reform, the completion of privatizations and the elimination of 90% of taxes.
“We are going to continue removing regulations. This year we increased 70 positions in economic freedom. We went from the batch of the worst 35 to the middle. And we only applied a quarter of the reforms, we still have 3,200 pending. We are going to remove them to the extent that Congress allows us,” the head of state said at first.
To then reveal that in 2025 “we are going to advance in a privatization agenda and in a deepening of the labor reform. To the extent that the labor reform comes out, we can advance in a pension reform.”
In that sense, in an interview with Forbes, Milei highlighted the modifications that he was able to introduce thanks to the approval of the Bases law and stated that his objective is to “expand the market from 6.5 million to 14.5 million people.” In this way, “the pension numbers change dramatically in favor of retirees having better retirements.”
In another fragment he praised the measures taken in his first year in office.“We are eliminating inflation, which is eliminating the distortion of relative prices and that favors the accumulation of capital. We are lowering taxes. We made 800 structural reforms. Every day we remove regulations,” he said.
Then he highlighted that “we made a first big cut and now we are going to the deeper things, which is not only deregulating and removing these obstacles, but also implies a new reform of the State to shrink it even further.”
Javier Milei closed the year with his ministers: the details of the dinner in Olivos
As the year closes, the president Javier Milei invited his ministers to a dinner at the Quinta de Olivos, where the officials enjoyed a barbecue and made their assessment of 2024.
As he was able to reconstruct Scopeit was not a formal meeting like those held every week in the Eva Perón room of Casa Rosada, but the idea was to entertain the Government team, most of whose members will go on vacation in January. Within this framework, the conclave was completed on Thursday morning, and the holders of each portfolio were summoned at 8:30 p.m. at the presidential residence.
There, each of those present took the floor and reviewed what had been done in terms of management. In addition, the ministers set goals for next year. The meeting was attended by the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei; the chief of staff, Guillermo Francos; and the ministers Patricia Bullrich (Security), Federico Sturzenegger (Deregulation and Transformation of the State), Luis Petri (Defense), Sandra Pettovello (Human Capital), Mario Lugones (Health) and Gerardo Werthein (Foreign Relations, International Trade and Worship). One of the absent ministers was the head of the economy, Luis Caputowho is traveling abroad.
In addition to the officials mentioned, there was the advisor Santiago Caputo; the head of the Council of Advisors to the President, Demian Axel Reidel; the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni and the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Martin Menem.
As expected, no invitation was sent to Vice President Victoria Villarruelwith whom Milei has no ties beyond the institutional one. Another absence was that of the Press Secretary Eduardo Serenellini, and the vice chiefs of staff, José Rolandi, and Interior Cabinet, Lisandro Catalán.
At the end of the evening, the presidential spokesperson shared on his X account an image showing the smiling officials, along with the phrase “Great moment, great year, great future.”
Thursday’s day was long for the Executive. The morning began with a surprise visit from former Boca player Martín Palermo, who appeared with the President on the Balcony of Casa Rosada. Around noon, the president received radical allies, with whom he explored the possibility of legislative and electoral agreements for 2025.
