The president Javier Milei He strongly crossed the national representative for a federal meeting, Miguel Ángel Pichetto, whom he called “ignorant in terms of economics” in addition to describing him as an ally “of the state party“. “He is not an economist, he does not understand this and he talks about something he does not know,” he sentenced.
Pichetto had pronounced harsh criticism in the debate on the presidential veto that took place in the Lower House last Wednesday, October 9, where he assured that the ruling party “bets on confrontation” to govern. “What is the program you have? It is a ship without lights at sea, a train that does not arrive at any station, a corporation of mass destruction of what little remains of a certain level of well-being in the Argentine State. A demolition company,” the national deputy had accused.
“The comparison with Martínez de Hoz’s program is absolutely invalid. Basically one of the things that Martínez de Hoz’s program did not do was the fiscal adjustment. Another thing that I could also tell you is that this was in a dictatorial regime and “This is in democracy. These analogies are quite unhappy,” Milei responded, in statements to LN+, to the comparison made by the deputy during the lower house session last Wednesday.
Regarding the criticism regarding economics, Milei asserted: “What happens is that Pichetto is not an economist, he does not understand the subject and talks about something you don’t knowwhat is quite irresponsible. Furthermore, they don’t understand that I am a liberal and they are used to the old heterodox plans that set prices, wages, tariffs, a set of price regulations.”
“He is a guy who always lived off the State. “He was the one who commanded the Kirchnerism bench in the Senate, the one who used institutional devices to protect Cristina and he is the same one who complains because there are people singing in Congress and he didn’t say anything when they threw down the flags of Néstor and Cristina,” he added about the deputy.
Finally, the libertarian leader stated: “It is that being inconsistent and incoherent What happened to being with him? Kirchnerism to be with Macri and then hangs out with truly sinister people.”
Pichetto’s speech that provoked Milei’s anger
Milei’s anger skyrocketed after what was one of the deputy’s most critical speeches to the libertarian’s management. It was pronounced during the debate on the presidential veto of the university financing law.
There in the parliamentary chamber, last Wednesday Pichetto had accused the Government of not having an economic plan or having consolidated a legislative consensus. “They think they win, but in reality they lose. They inevitably lose, as they also lost with a very important sector of Argentine society. What are retirees?the representative of Encuentro Federal began.

“What are they, president? What is the program you have? It is a ship without lights at sea, a train that does not arrive at any station, a corporation of mass destruction of what little remains of a certain level of well-being in the Argentine State. A demolition company. What do they express with this economic plan? What is the plan? The Martínez de Hoz style adjustment?“, the deputy strongly questioned.
Regarding the university conflict, Pichetto assured that the ruling party “is wrong” about the economic analysis of the increase in the budget item. “If we also analyze the numbers of the fiscal cost of what it meant support for universities did not reach 0.14%”, explained based on calculations carried out by the Congressional Budget Office. Then the legislator added: “What there is is a commitment to confrontation, to consolidate the conflict as the only axis“to try to win battles that ultimately they lose, because what they have just done is consolidate the minority party.”
“He is playing with really very sensitive values,” the legislator warned about the educational conflict. Then, Píchetto concluded: “They are losing the hard core electorate that La Libertad Avanza hadfundamentally the youths who were the most vital in defining the runoff.”
