translated from Spanish: Macri in La Rural: “The Argentina we want is not in the past”

Mauricio Macri was accompanied by the head of government of the City of Buenos Aires Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and the governor of the province of Buenos María Eugenia Vidal, among other officials. The president, and current pre-candidate for the PASO on Sunday, August 11, was received by the president of the Argentine Rural Society (SRA) Daniel Pelegrina and the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and former president of the SRA, Luis Miguel Miguel Etchevehere.” Four years ago, luckily, or rather by conviction, we believed in ourselves again and since then we opened 200 markets in many countries. This is Argentine work coming into the world,” Macri considered for electionin eight days. In addition, following his election speech, he added: “The Argentina we want is not in the past, but in the future.” During his speech, he remarked that “withholdings must be terminated” by arguing that it is “a tax that delays and destroys opportunities,” but that “unfortunately in the emergency” the government had to apply that tax. Minutes earlier, Daniel Pelegrina had called for “export duties to be eliminated once and for all”: “While producers are supported in the rest of the world, in Argentina we are punished with withholdings.” We are coming out of this crisis stronger, more convinced. We began to solve those frailties that we have,” Macri said and took the opportunity to ask the field to create “a million jobs in Argentina to strengthen federalism.” The first thing we did was sit down and have a dialogue to listen to you, who are the protagonists. Protagonists of the beginning of recovery. Last year wasn’t just any drought, it was the worst in 50 years, the worst in most of you’s lives. We were surprised once again with a record harvest,” the president said.
