In a new interview on his return to the public and political scene, former President Mauricio Macri once again questioned the direction of the current national government, defended his economic management and reiterated that he works so that his force, Together for Change, returns to power .
“In 2023 we will return to power in Argentina
.
With the one who is better prepared, "he said in an interview with the
Infobae
portal
, repeating what he had indicated last Saturday in a Zoom with PRO leaders, where he said that" we have already done it and won, and we will do it again, with the same values ”.
Macri referred to the criticisms of President Alberto Fernández and official officials after his note last Monday with Joaquín Morales Solá in TN.
“It reminded me of that phrase assigned to (Arturo) Illia.
That a nation is in danger when a president speaks every day.
The ruling party should try to regain calm, issue a message of more harmony, "he said.
Once again, he took aim against the Casa Rosada for the use of quarantine as the only tool to manage the coronavirus pandemic.
“It is very harmful and you
had to use it with great balance and care
.
You cannot do a European quarantine in a hurt Latin American economy, "he said.
After emphasizing that in the health aspect "we are not doing well either," the former president assured that the Government "does not have an economic program."
"Argentina today has no direction," he
launched.
Instead, he made a defense of the economic management of his mandate.
“The economy we leave is better than the one we receive.
There is no doubt about that ”, he assured.
And he asked to see the numbers until August 11, in reference to the PASO, with he suffered the hard electoral defeat against Alberto Fernández.
In that sense, he affirmed that, economically, his government ended that date.
“On August 12, the market made a decision: if it would stay in Argentina ruled by Kirchnerism or if it would leave.
That is why the stock market fell, the country risk increased and the dollar rose ”, he remarked.
In a self-criticism, Macri said that one of the mistakes was "not taking into account or underestimating the political weakness that we had."
“We did not have a coherent monetary policy with
our political weakness
that did not allow us to have a fiscal counterpart to support the monetary policy.
We had a deficit that we did not have the votes in Congress.
And a very aggressive monetary policy in terms of trying to lower inflation.
It was a serious mistake, "he acknowledged.
