«I am absolutely with Milei, I loved this boy when he appeared. This boy thinks like I think. The State cannot spend more than it has,” Fenoglio said.
And then, he praised the economic plan of the Government of La Libertad Avanza: «When a company enters bankruptcy, it has four years to exit. In four months this boy is taking the country forward, he is evidently doing things well«.
Fenoglio was in favor of labor reform and asked for less interference by the State in private affairs. «Argentina has to start producing, it has the human material to do it. Enough. Let the State let things be done and that in 10 years this country will be a power, as Milei says«he assured.
«I believe that, like a family or a company, the country has to be healthy. You can’t spend more than you have. Who pays for inflation? The poorest. We are more or less getting rid of it«he added.
Finally, he specified that he has good expectations for the future of the libertarian administration.
The owner of Rapanui, Diego Fenoglio, spoke about the mention of Cristina Kirchner
Rapanui had a peak of popularity a few years ago, when the then vice president mentioned the name of the Bariloche firm in the middle of a Senate session. “It was very good publicity,” He said he assured in reference to the fact.
“At that time she lived 40 meters from the premises we have on Uruguay Street,” Fenoglio explained. Cristina’s apartment is located on the corner of Juncal and Uruguay.
«She never went, but evidently she sent someone to buy, I don’t know what product he liked«.
«Everything that is advertising is for good. The kids went, they took photos… (Fenoglio makes the V-finger gesture)». And although after that episode they suggested that he send the former president a gift box of chocolates, it did not.
The chain, which manufactures chocolates and ice cream, had its origins in Bariloche and in a few years it expanded throughout the country. Today it has more than 15 branches, and according to Fobes magazine, it plans to open plans to open another 20 more in Latin America and triple its production by 2025.
In addition, it has a factory in Valencia, Spain, where they exclusively produce The Franui to sell in Italy, Greece, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Israel, the United States and Canada.
