2023-04-18T02:01:41.719Z


The president of the PRO and pre-candidate for president for Together for Change spoke face to face to more than 150 businessmen who met at the select hotel in Bariloche


Patricia Bullrich knew she had to kick hard and to the middle.

His speech had to convince the most important businessmen in the country meeting this week at the Llao Llao Forum,

a select annual meeting of the men and women of the "red circle"

, which this time, given the proximity of the elections, was tinged with a strong political component.

“We are going to demolish the economic regime of the last 20 years,

which drastically reduced the incentives to invest, export and create jobs.

To do this, we are going to promote reforms that change economic incentives, restore fiscal solvency and gradually rebuild credibility,” said the Together for Change candidate at the first dinner of the event that will last until Wednesday at the exclusive hotel in the city of Bariloche.

Bullrich spoke for more than half an hour in a presentation that aimed to show what is the political view of the economic crisis and what are the alternatives that, if it were a government, his management would take.

"My path and that of 46 million Argentines is the same: to face one by one the challenges to change the regime that oppresses us and transform Argentina," he assured before opening up to questions from the businessmen.

Faced with the uncertainty generated by the accumulated imbalances in the macro, Bullrich emphasized "order" throughout his presentation: “The concept that will govern our government will be the concept of

order.

Economic Order.

Order to face the challenges against drug trafficking and the safety of people.

Order in education, in health, in the State, in the provinces, ”he assured him before the watchful eye of the people who head the most important fortunes in the country.

Bullrich, who arrived at the hotel accompanied by her economic adviser, Luciano Laspina from Rosario, assured: "I am clear that

from day one

I must deploy the set of initiatives that will lead us to progress. That is what my strategy consists of... Our vision of the future It is that of

a country in order, where the Law is respected,

in which the macro-economy is stabilized, where every potential becomes a present of well-being”.

One of the main factors to "order" is for the former Minister of Security, the variety and profusion of exchange rates and the imbalances associated with multiple dollars.

"Getting out of the exchange trap has been a priority since day zero. The sooner it is done, the better,"

he said, adding: "There is no change in the economic regime

without first blowing up the Kirchnerist exchange regime

. Dismantling exchange controls is a priority." .

Bullrich assured that this is one of the main decisions that must be taken so that the rest of the economic actors decide to invest.

But not the only one.

"With a team of economists and lawyers we are working on a deep economic deregulation and bureaucratic obstacles,

reviewing each of the 3,600 laws in force,

to detect distortions, privileges and perks, and then eliminate them, reduce them to a minimum, be able to reduce costs and accelerate economic activity," he said.

Although

she did not go to the extreme

of "dynamiting the Central Bank", as is one of the catchphrases of the other candidate who draws attention in different sectors, Javier Milei, the PRO reference said that the reform she proposes would also reach the monetary authority. 

"We are going to

restore the fiscal balance

, in order to limit the monetary issue to finance the Treasury; strengthen the balance of the Central Bank and reduce the quasi-fiscal deficit; align relative prices, particularly the official exchange rate and the tariffs of the public services, and finally, implement a monetary reform, that is, a new legal framework for the Central Bank,” he remarked.

Bullrich is the first of a list of various opposition officials and candidates who will seek to convince businessmen to start the electoral contest.

This Tuesday at noon it will be the turn of the Libertad Avanza candidate, Javier Milei, who arrived at the Llao Llao after 9:30 p.m.

In statements to the press, the deputy proposed an internship for Bullrich, but outside of Together for Change, so the internship from the opposition party is at the top of the meeting's agenda.

On Wednesday afternoon, it will be the former Buenos Aires governor, María Eugenia Vidal, who will appear before the business community.

For dinner on the second day, the presence of the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, who will seek to plant a flag and differentiate himself from the other candidates of his party, is scheduled.

The great unknown is the presence of the ruling party: the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo Wado de Pedro, and the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, had been summoned but warned that they will not be part of the game.

For Wednesday, the closure of the hand of President Alberto Fernández is still in doubt.
