The economist
Carlos Melconian
affirmed this Tuesday that the "
management
" of President
Alberto Fernández
is "
a disaster
" and criticized "the politicization" in the face of "a great quilombo" as the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in Argentina.
"
Argentina
is a
historically unstable country
and this pandemic also caught it in instability. Then you can add the politicization of the management that is always bad, the management itself that is a disaster, but in the objective analysis of the issue, history weighs "Melconian highlighted.
In statements to
Con Vos
radio
, he warned that if there was no rise in the price of soybeans,
"everything would fly through the air,"
since it allowed dollars to enter the country, and added: "In the summer, Argentina devalued , I correct myself, I jumped because devaluing comes devaluing ".
"Here it is not that there was a miracle of the management where they spent the summer and someone's wrist did like Moises that the channel was opened and you crossed," ironized the former president of Banco Nación during the government of Mauricio Macri.
Regarding the management of the national Executive during the first wave of the pandemic, he specified: "On March 19, 2020, I said
guys go out to attend because this is a great quilombo
. Then what was it completed with? Was it completed with an economic program? Was it completed with a quick solution to the debt? Was it completed with a quick agreement with the (International Monetary) Fund? Was it completed with testing? Was it completed with vaccines? No. "

"The only thing they were interested in discovering is that they emitted one hundred percent per year and the inflation of April, May and June with everyone locked up gave one and a half per month," he said.
Criticism of Guzmán
In a clear reference to the Minister of Economy,
Martín Guzmán
, he shot: "It was the discussion that
the magician from Columbia came
to politics and had taught us to issue 100%, to solve the problem, to give subsidies, to pay salaries, and on top of that we were on our way to 20% inflation "
"How does the year end? As economic theory teaches it: you broadcast, then you will have more inflation.
It is not issued, drink mate and sit on the deck chair
," he said.
In this context, Melconian stressed that Argentina "does not have a federal reserve or countercyclical fund" to use in a pandemic and expanded: "
The quilombo this is great
, but it is not the same to have money to finance 3%, have a joint, get the vaccine, to test, to have management. Beyond that the pandemic is a strong pineapple ".
For the economist, "instead of fighting for candidates for 2021", politicians should surround themselves with "half a dozen people who may be candidates for ministers of a possible government, with their own weight and who are beginning to think of an Argentina."
Finally, he affirmed that "the Minister of Health of the City of Buenos Aires (Fernán Quirós) is as concerned as the boys of the province, and does not have the upper hand, because the City, like the rest of the provinces, depends on government vaccine management ".
"The first one who has to always look forward is the statesman, the one who governs. They all lost popularity, but let's distinguish between management and management," he said.
