Gerardo Morales warned that if Milei wins, “the provinces will not be able to pay public salaries.”

The governor of Jujuy, Gerardo Morales, warned that if the candidate of La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, prevails in the November 19 runoff, the provinces will not be able to pay the salaries of public employees. Be careful, because if Milei wins, we will not be able to pay the salaries of public employees for January, February, March and April, at least,” Morales said in statements to the press, after an activity held yesterday at the Cannava S.E plant in that northern province. In this sense, the head of the radicalism remarked that this situation will occur “because, among the issues that the candidate of the ultra-right proposes, is to eliminate the Federal Coparticipation.” In that sense, Morales, who opposed the electoral pact that Patricia Bullrich and Mauricio Macri sealed with Milei, insisted: “If Milei wins, he wants to annul the Co-participation law, so even less will he want to fix the particular issues that each province has and that we must fix.” Finally, Morales recalled that “the governors of the Norte Grande already have an agreement with the Minister of Economy (Sergio) Massa – who is the other candidate for president who will contest the runoff – to restore to the provinces the resources for the fall in income tax and VAT, with a significant percentage of the tax on the Check.” The rift in Together for ChangeIn another passage, Morales charged against Bullrich and Macri by pointing out the contradictions of the attacks in the campaign and the agreement closed with the libertarians. “Our party is not a group, but a political force with regulations. After everything Bullrich and Milei said to each other, he embraced a project that we had fought,” he said. In life and in politics you lose and you win, but you can’t run away to seek positions and agreements with a force that is at the antipodes of what our force thinks,” he concluded.
