Milei crossed to Together for Change: “What do you come to talk about agreements with Massa? If they agreed with Kirchnerists”

The candidate for president of La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, charged against Together for Change after the opposition bench denounced a pact between the economist and Sergio Massa for the request he made to postpone the presentation of the 2024 Budget. which, by law, must be done before the 15th of this month.” This government leaves on December 10, it cannot be that this government, which is leaving, sets the fiscal policy for the first year of next year, it is nonsense. Given that on October 22, the new composition of the Chamber of Deputies and Senators will be determined, from there, reconsider the design of the Budget, “said the economist, who was the most voted candidate in the last PASO. ” It is clear that they will lose the elections, it is most likely. In that context, we, or another opposition force that we consider has some chance of coming to power, should be considering blocking the current government from setting the first year of fiscal policy,” he added. Then, he compared Together for Change with Kirchnerism and said that the main opposition coalition “knows itself to be a loser.” She pointed out that the polls give her in third place – outside the runoff – and denounced an unprecedented media aggression against her space. Never in Argentine history has there been a level of aggressiveness (similar) towards a sector and towards a particular person,” he said. When asked about the complaint made by JxC referents about an alleged agreement with the presidential candidate of the ruling party, Milei counterattacked: “Mr. Mario Negri (head of the radical bloc in Deputies) who gives explanations of why he voted in favor of the expropriation of YPF, is an accomplice of the Argentine decadence. What can that talk about? There are 34 MPs who are from JxC who voted for that.” He added that “firefighters do not step on the hose” and stressed that behind the fights between the ruling party and the opposition, when it comes to voting they always do it “in favor of the work of politicians.” What do you talk about agreements with Massa? If they have agreements with Kirchnerists. Or do they not have [Miguel Ángel] Pichetto, who was head of the Kirchnerist bench and covered Cristina’s back [Kirchner] so that she does not go prey. Or do they not have [Martín] Lousteau, who was Cristina’s economy minister and left the country on the brink of civil war?” he said, referring to the past of leaders who today make up the ranks of the opposition. On the other hand, Milei downplayed the statements of Macri, who on Monday distanced himself from the libertarian to make his support for Patricia Bullrich more emphatic. He argued that the former president “is campaigning” and attributed those statements to the chances that, in his opinion, the coalition has of returning to power. “He has a candidate who does not push and who is making (JxC) enter third place and forcibly leave on the verge of rupture.” Confronted with the opposition conglomerate, he added that “they use their media arm to persecute” the members of his team and asserted that “they talk about the Peronists, but they do things ten thousand times worse.”
