The morning of Radio Miter had as the protagonist Juan Pazo, head of the Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA), interviewed by Eduardo Feinmann. The official spoke bluntly about the extent that he stirred to the field: the quota of exports with zero withholdings, which sold out in a few hours and generated strong discomfort.
“I am a producer, I have chats with hundreds of producers and I frequently have the same conversation,” Pazo said. Feinmann asked him if they insulted him and the answer was blunt: “Colors. But I am like when I was a boy, with the peace of the right action. I feel very comfortable explaining it in the place that I am in the government and also as a producer.”
Producers’ anger is concrete. Coninagro said the benefit was used only by some; The Rural Society questioned the speed with which the affidavits were issued; Agrarian Federation warned that small producers were left out; and the Rural Confederation denounced an “imbalance” in the cast.
Pazo defended the decision and also the way he applied: “Whenever we took a substantive measure, no one knew.” For him, surprise is part of the method and ensures that it is the way to avoid speculation.
The contrast was marked in the radio air: on the one hand, the angry field that claims equal conditions; On the other, an official who accepts criticism but insists that his responsibility is to sustain measures that, as he affirms, seek to defend currency and stability.
Pazo himself summarized him naturally: he admits that they insult him, but does not depart from the course. “I am comfortable explaining it,” he said, convinced that his role is to bank the decision even if that leaves him in the center of the storm.
