“There is an accumulation of extraordinary income in a tiny sector, while the rest of the population has to pay high food prices. There are essential reforms to be made to lower inflation and increase people’s purchasing power”, he said a week ago Claudia Lozanodirector of the National Bank.
One of the most critical voices against the economic policy of Alberto Fernandezand the negotiations with the IMF carried out by Martín Guzmán, whom Kirchnerism would like to replace, along with Matias Kulfas and Santiago Cafiero in the Ministries of Productive Development and Foreign Affairs, respectively.
“There is no reason to think that (Matías) Kulfas, (Martín) Guzmán or (Julián) Domínguez are not suitable, but different is that they want to take the necessary measures. There is no doubt that we have to raise the withholdings. The government has given an exaggerated respect to the rural sector. We have to guarantee that the economic recovery process does not stop,” insisted Lozano, making clear the view that the hard wing of the government has on the Albertist ministers: “too warm”.
“I have an economist friend who was one of the best economy ministers of Kirchnerism, who usually says that grab the head of some businessmenof (Luis) Pagani or Mastellone (owners of La Serenissima), intervene the company, show their heads, and say that with the supply law in hand this is going to happen to them, and immediately the others will calm down”, added in tune Louis D’Elia repeating supposed words of Beloved Boudouwho today would advise La Cámpora on economic issues.
“We need to start individualize who are the entrepreneurs, which continue with indiscriminate and speculative increases in prices. But unfortunately, the government does not have firm and determined attitudes to put limits on speculation”, he pointed out in tune Hugo GodoyDeputy Secretary of the Central de Trabajadores de la Argentina Autónoma.
“Macroeconomic measures are required to control prices and Minister Guzmán does nothing in this regard. The government has to finish with the warm cloths towards Funes de Rioja (President of the UIA, who is said to be close to the macrismo). If they don’t, it’s up to us. We need a sovereign economic policy,” Godoy added.
Choral requests that the president listened, and in which he gave in half, to save his economic cabinet. Albert today he cannot deliver Guzmán because it is his capitulation”, they point near the president. And they point out that both Kulfas and Cafiero are trustworthy men. The options that Kirchnerism presents for these ministries “do not conform or represent” the president, on the other hand.
The solution was “to give them the right with the extraordinary income”, and to apply “the fixed bonuses that unionism requested”. “These are short-term measures, If the growing inflation is not deactivated, they are going to ask for Guzmán’s head again in a month.”, they add.
