He andx President Mauricio Macri did not need to mention the current president, Javier Milei, at any time. to slide some concepts that affect and define the view he has on politics and the figure of the leader of Libertad Avanza. He said that “Argentina is a country that is allergic to competition“. “There is a mafia-like and corporate Argentina that is fighting to survive,” he said.
So, Macri He marked the field for the local business community in defense of the market deregulation policy and opening of imports that Javier Milei’s government has been carrying out for almost eleven months.
He said it within the framework of the Fgold from the consulting firm Abeceb, which is carried out in the City of Buenos Aires. “One has to be clear about why they gave us the power, because otherwise we begin to believe that we are more important than the group of people who trusted us. “We believe it is something personal,” said Macri when speaking within the framework of the 14th Abeceb Forum that takes place in a hotel in Puerto Madero.
The former president’s expressions occurred at a time when the PRO’s relationship with the libertarians is going through moments of tension in the face of the 2025 legislative elections.

In that sense, he said that regardless of the result, one of the problems that may arise is “if the result is accepted.” because this “can put the world’s main democracy in crisis.” In that sense, the talk with the former presidents revolved around the risks that liberal democracies face in the world.
For his part, Rajoy warned that ““Populism is an enemy that is within liberal democracies”. He considered that Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela “are three dictatorships” and added that “There are countries where authoritarian measures, advances by the State and attacks on the press are observed.” The Spaniard pointed out in this regard that “Non-democratic countries are having a lot of influence here.”
For its part, Felipe Calderón regretted that the Court of Mexico is about to endorse the reform that will allow judges to be elected by popular vote. The Mexican considered that his country will have to be included in the group of dictatorships. “Now there are going to be four autocracies,” he said.
Calderon warned that the “populist rupture that has been exacerbated by the phenomenon of social networks.” “Not all changes are good. The Internet has created a hyperpolarized society, a liar of what is called post-truth.. The outlook is not good,” he concluded.
