In a long interview that he gave this Sunday to Radio RivadaviaPresident Javier Miley spoke about various current issues, and among other points gave hope to the punished sector of retirees, pointing out that for his assets “Now the recovery is coming, they are going to improve, that is why I sent the DNU“. Likewise, he once again described “notable” the decline that inflation is showing, and I also use that radio moment to send another dart to the former vice president Cristina Kirchnerconsidering that his speech at the event this Saturday in Quilmes “it was of great intellectual poverty.”
“I sent that decree so that the inflation adjustment begins to run and pensions begin to be recomposed,” Milei specified in dialogue with Ignacio Ortelli in your cycle “If it happens, it happens”maintaining that “If I had not appealed to that decree, retirees would end up losing 2 points of GDP at the end of the year.”
“With the DNU we are returning 1.6 points of GDP, it is not my fault that Congress is blocking things for me and has become an impeding machine,” Milei added, thus blaming the opposition for the almost desperate situation of the liabilities, who since December have witnessed a constant loss of their purchasing power.
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
“The drop in inflation is notable”
He then referred to inflation, pointing out that “it is increasingly noticeable how low” and on that point he highlighted that “Argentines see that they are finding a solution to what they considered the country’s main problem.”
“Wholesale prices in December grew 54 percent, amortized to 17 thousand and today wholesale inflation was 5 percent”he detailed in praise of his work, specifying that “retail inflation, consumer inflation, started at 25 percent and was now at 11 percent.”
“According to the consensus of analysts, it is expected to be below 10 points this month,” he said, noting that “we are getting closer to 5 percent,” since “in food we have had two weeks in a row of deflation.” “.
“Her speech was very poor”
When he was consulted about Cristina Kirchner’s event this Saturday in Quilmes, Milei considered that the former vice president’s speech “In relation to other speeches, yesterday’s speech was of great intellectual poverty.”
“If they try to group together, they are like a bag of cats. It is a desperate act to keep alive a political movement that did so much damage to the country. We need them to become more rational. They come out to talk now because they are nervous,” Milei added, indicating, without naming her, that “in general she had a clearer formal structure, but this one from yesterday directly lacked an organic way, to present a theme”.

“But what he said yesterday was of notorious intellectual poverty. I was surprised by the intellectual decline. The only thing he did was criticize. He continues to embrace a model that destroyed Argentina,” he indicated.
This Saturday’s online duel
In her long speech in Quilmes, organized in line with the anniversary of Néstor Kirchner’s election, Cristina said “I I decided to come after listening to President Javier Milei about the useless sacrifice of the Argentine people“
He emphasized that “hearing the President say that he has a fiscal surplus after having stopped public works, not having paid the universities, not paying anything, that is not the case, it is as if one at home stopped paying services, to the domestic worker. and he has money left, but no brother, that is not a surplus”, highlighting that “believe (as libertarians do) “That in Argentina the problem is the fiscal deficit, it is not understanding the world.”
“They want to present us with the same policies that we received when we took office 21 years ago,” he added, and differentiated the current government from that of Carlos Menem: “They only have a few points of contact, such as international relations, privatizations,” but he was lapidary when he spoke. of “anarcho-colonialism” stated that “Milei does not have a stabilization planwhich Menemism did have, which was the convertibility that was sustained by the sale of national assets and by indebtedness.
