President Javier Milei spoke this Sunday after the criticism made by former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner during an event in Quilmes. In dialogue with Radio Rivadavia, Milei defended the economic policy of his administration and assured that “salaries have begun to beat inflation.”
Likewise, he described Fernández de Kirchner’s speech as “poor” and pointed out that Kirchnerism is “a bag of cats.”

“Regarding his other speeches, yesterday’s (for this Saturday) was very poor. It is of notorious intellectual poverty. “It continues to embrace a model that destroyed Argentina,” said the head of state and condemned: “They are nervous, every day it is more noticeable how inflation is going down.”
“The numbers are improving, so it takes a little longer to feel,” said Milei and assured that, according to the consensus of analysts, inflation in April will be “in single digits.”
Javier Milei, it’s Sunday
Asked about the reappearance of Fernández de Kirchner, Milei responded: “The first thing I can say is that compared to his other speeches, yesterday’s was a very poor speech. In general there is a model, some formal structure in the clearest discourse, in this it directly lacks an organic way of presenting a topic. It is a notorious intellectual poverty, a fall that surprised me.” She, in turn, questioned that she “continues to embrace a model that destroyed Argentina.”
“They are nervous, every day the way in which inflation is falling is more noticeable,” said the head of state, arguing why he believes that Alberto Fernández’s former vice president targeted his management.

“Cristina Fernández de Kirchner needs to regroup the troops and bring them all together. Today it is a bag of cats, the same one that they were governing and that generated one of the worst governments in history,” she added.
In this context, he said that this Saturday’s speech was “a desperate act to keep alive a political movement that has done so much damage to the country.” “They are nervous, every day it is more noticeable how inflation is going down,” she said.
On the other hand, the head of state assured that “the numbers are improving,” but “it takes a little longer for it to be felt.” After this, he pointed out that, according to the consensus of analysts, inflation in April will be “single digits.”
After this, and to make a diagnosis of the economic indicators, Milei highlighted that there were “two consecutive weeks of deflation.” “While it is true that we are in the worst moment of economic activity, the photos we are receiving are prehistory. Some indicators are hitting a floor. There are some sectors that are expanding, such as mining, oil, gas, agriculture,” she analyzed.

“On the other hand, non-durable consumer goods are stable. But the most interesting thing is that they are reducing the decline. If we add to that that salaries have already begun to outpace inflation, that will imply a recomposition of workers’ income,” he continued.
For Milei, in this context, “Cristina Kirchner needs to regroup the entire troop. If you put together Cristina, Massa, Kicillof, that is a bag of cats, the same bag of cats that were governing and that those lack of coordination generated one of the worst governments in history. It is a desperate effort to try to unite and not enter a path that further complicates their electoral performance.”
“It is a desperate act to keep alive a political movement that has done so much damage to the country. We would need them to at least become more rational, and not try to sustain themselves by clinging to a Planet of the Apes economy, to put it politely,” he condemned.
Milei’s response on networks to Cristina
This Saturday, after the speech, Milei also used her X account (formerly Twitter) to respond to the former president’s harsh questions.
The President shared a plaque from Infobae in which they quoted Cristina’s words: “60% may have voted for you, but if people starve themselves afterwards, what’s the point?”
The president’s response came in the same tone: “People are starving because for decades you defended a model that was based on spending without limits and falsifying money to cover the hole.”

“The result is a destroyed country with 60% poor,” said the economist.
He added: “What good is what we are doing? “It serves to rebuild the country that you destroyed,” wrote Milei, who ended her message with her traditional “VLLC.”
