"The country is at a turning point.
You can cling to an unjust system or you can leave your particular interests aside and collaborate with our mission. We will move forward with or without the help of the political leadership."
Argentine President Javier Milein stated this in his first speech to the chambers gathered for the inauguration of the legislative year, announcing the proposal for a new "political pact" for the re-foundation of the South American country.
"I don't have much hope, but I will give you a new opportunity."
The pact, to be celebrated symbolically on May 25th on the occasion of Fatherland Day, however provides for one condition: the prior approval of the two laws passed in January in the Chamber and which represented the main body of the ultra-liberal leader's government program.
"I ordered the head of Cabinet to summon the governors of all the provinces to the Casa Rosada to sign a pre-agreement for the approval of the omnibus law and the tax package," Milei said.
The new pact proposed by the Argentine president therefore includes ten points destined to transform into real state policies.
Among these, in addition to the first which states "the inviolability of private property", include the principle of fiscal balance and a reduction in public spending in the order of 25%.
