After the electoral defeat and in the midst of the exchange tension, Javier Milei remained in the center of the scene for an unusual detail. In the “Always +” program of Cristina Pérez, a drawing was shown in the air that the president himself would have made to explain the exchange bands of the dollar. According to the perodist, a “high source of economy” would have sent him the photo. “Forgive him if he showed me the drawing,” he said without being able to contain an uncomfortable laugh.
What sought to simplify a complex mechanism ended up leaving something else: the communication fragility of the government in the face of an issue that affects the daily life of Argentines. With the rising prices and the pending markets of each signal, Milei’s scribble transmitted improvisation and confusion rather than a technical explanation.
“When the bands are credible, the market forces themselves, if it touches the roof, take it inwards, and when you approach the band below, the arrows push up,” said Pérez. “In this I was thinking of Milei when he made the speech in which he accepted the defeat,” he said, just as confused as the rest.
Instead of clarifying his plan, he ended up showing another face: a president who is lost in technicalities and graphics, while Argentines continue to wait for concrete answers to face their economy every day.
