In the midst of the internal, Macri warns JxC: “The important thing is to know why we want to return to power”

While the internal one in Together for Change is sharpening, former President Mauricio Macri considered “logical” that “everyone wants to compete” for the presidency and remarked that “the important thing is to know why we want to return to power””The logical, right? Everyone wants to compete, and all priests want to be Pope. It is human nature to want to excel and lead. The important thing is to know why we want to return to power, and that there is consistency, coherence, a lot of dialogue within the coalition, all things that in the vertigo of 2015 were not, “said the former president, at the end of a week in which he starred in a media raid. The opposition leader pointed out the differences between this moment and 2015, when he took office for the alliance that, at the time, was called Cambiemos.” This time, people are going to be claiming, not like in 2015, that there was a mandate for political change, and not economic. Now we learned that there is a very hard crisis, with many people who are having a very bad time, and this does not end because we are in the hands of a misgovernment of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who mounted this story, and it takes us aimlessly and without a plan, “he said, in statements to LN +. In that sense, he considered that during his administration the political part was handled “very well”, “with foreign policy, transparency and infrastructure, in communications and freedoms”, and that now the challenge is “to refine the pencil and seek changes in the economic” because “you can no longer live with this inflation”. For the former president, inflation is already running at 100% per year. After the 6.7% in March and 6% in April, the government expects the downward trend to be ratified in May, and the most optimistic are confident that the index will be below 5%. However, the consultants estimate inflation above 5% and project a floor of 70% by 2022.” We need there to be clarity in the coalition of the need for a serious change in the economic and political,” said Macri.La emergence of Javier Milei and the measures that an eventual government of Together for Change will have to implement in 2023 deepened the differences between the ‘hawks’ and ‘doves’ of the opposition coalition, in which there are already several scored in the race for the presidency.
