Roberto Cachanoskyone of the most recognized liberal economists in Argentina, definitely broke with the president Javier Mileiwhom he knew how to support during his beginnings in the public arena. In a recent interview, Cachanosky made clear his distance from the libertarian government and questioned both the driving style and economic results. “When you occupy a public office, you can not make the funny”, Said pointing against the tweeter The Gordo Danthat he had asked in X to imprison the economist by decree. And he added about Mileism: “Insult is his way of doing politics.”
Cachanosky was for years a obligatory reference within Argentine liberal thinking. Classical training economist, was formed at the Argentine Catholic University and consolidated itself as a disseminator and analyst since the 90s, with a markedly critical posture towards state intervention. During the past decade, it was an influential figure between sectors of economic liberalism, even providing support to Milei’s first proposals when he broke out as outsider. However, that tuning broke over the months, and today the distance is explicit.
“Yes, I feel intimidated, but I don’t have fear. These are all handsome keyboard”Cacanosky said in reference to the attacks he received from the president and his surroundings, within the framework of Milei’s escalation against journalists, economists and public figures that do not fully adhere to their line.
In economic terms, Cachanosky drew a worrying diagnosis on the current situation of the country. Assures that The government is prioritizing financial variables About a real growth strategy. “Here there was no productivity work that strengthens the weight, but financial,” he explained. And he stressed that instead of a virtuous process, what is observed is an economy “that hA LOST 100,000 jobs in the formal area ”, including“ 23,000 state jobs ”.
Also questioned the alleged decline in povertythat the ruling party presents as one of its achievements. “The” low “poverty due to the way poverty is measured in Argentina,” he said, suggesting that the fall is merely statistical and non -structural.
Regarding the exchange rate, it was categorical: “The stocks got up for people, not for companies“, And warned that the investment will not come if there is no real confidence:” the incentive has to be very large for me as an entrepreneur to release a dollar. “
In a critical tone he also pointed against journalism that, according to his vision, was complicit in the rise of Milei by treating him with media indulgence. “This, in part, is journalism.“He said in Delta 90.3. Finally, he warned about the chronic instability of the Argentine economy, that any projection becomes volatile:” We all know that Argentina is very volatile, if inflation lowers or not, it depends on the elections. “
