“Now, this government begins to last. There is no room for a change in the steering wheel ”, anticipated the economist Carlos Melconian after the defeat of the Government in the PASO. “There are governments that begin to perceive that they are irremovable”, He added in statements to Radio Miter.
To explain the situation in which the ruling party remained after the results of the elections, the economist compared it to the game that the Argentine National Team lost 5-0 to Colombia in the qualifiers in 1993. “Coco Basile told the players, easy, easy If they hole 6, you did not have the playoff. Now you have to put together two lines of four and start to last ”, he pointed out.
“People appeared who cannot handle a kiosk or a merry-go-round. That people see them and get scared. This has already happened in Argentina. In 2014-2015, in 2018-2019. There are governments that last. The message is that there is a way out and you don’t have to go crazy in two months, ”he added.
Regarding the possibility that the Government will go out to “burn the ships” in the coming months, Melconian anticipated that this path will only end in more inflation. And he recalled that the Government suffered inflation of 4% per month in the first months of this year as a result of last year’s issuance. “If they go crazy, we are going to a higher inflation path. The exchange market can be exacerbated and you will run out of bread and cake, ”he said.
Melconian defined the election as a “crack-breaking” phenomenon with defeats in former strongholds of Peronism. “It is understood Pfizer, it is understood that you have to go to school and that with the subsidy you will not buy me.” And he left a message for the markets: “We don’t want drunkards. Argentina has a big quilombo and it comes out step by step with solid foundations. Of this fuck of the hot money and 18% of the actions no. That the assets of Argentina are recovered steadily with a program over a period of 10 years. Not all these crazy people who cheat with Argentina and leave. We are not for 1500 risk either. Yesterday is very good in every way ”.
“This was very good, in a while they will see that it was good. They were drunk. What is this radicalization, we go for everything? We had fallen very low. Today there are chances of breaking berretalandia ”, he said. Melconian remarked that the results of the PASO are very positive for the future of Argentina. “Argentine society has a sacred fire. To those who are about to go, stay. People’s maturity is an asset of society ”, he pointed out.
The former president of Banco Nación also listed the economic issues that led to a defeat for the Government: GDP is in the worst moments of the last three elections, purchasing power, unemployment, poverty which is the worst since 2001 and the rate inflation of 50% per year. And he remembered the phrase: “It’s the economy, stupid”, to explain the bad results of the ruling party.
“The people who are most complicated here are the salaried, the one who throws a plan at him. This one learned from grandparents, sweet bread and cider have always been shared. There are two issues: be careful with the economy and be careful with the maturity of the people. Follow the game, this did not end. Don’t ever run out of bread and cake. If they go out to distribute money now they can run out of votes and we can go to hell ”, anticipated the economist.
“The one who goes up to the group pays 18 out of 100 and the rest is a subsidy and they voted against you the same. It is of extraordinary maturity. They are not blacks and planeros. There is Argentina based on the people who vote like yesterday; They’re going to cut the deficit, don’t fuck around with taxes either. This is the product of the private sector being harassed, “he said.
“The exchange market is two football goals. For one, it kicks only export; for the other, imports, which take the USD 200, the dollars that they sell in cash with liquid. On one side, an archer and a player. On the other, 22 players ”, he exemplified.
However, Melconian removed responsibility from Martín Guzmán in the defeat of the Government. “The model is inconsistent, it is not the kid (for Guzmán) who is responsible for the defeat. He had an inconsistent schedule from day one. Another fantasy is the drop in inflation, which is temporary. The rebound in activity is transitory. In these two months, the Government has to keep calm, not heat up, get out of the exchange market format of the last three months and the angel of inflation will accompany them to liquefy ”, said Melconian.
“The Argentine society yesterday said ‘don’t lie to me anymore’, tell me the truth. It is very important to see what we Argentines do in the next two years. The only ones who are excluded are the extremes. There is no place for hawks or for Venezuela, “he added. Regarding the figure of President Alberto Fernández, he pointed out that he has a driving problem.
