The journalist and host Jorge Lanata spoke on Tuesday on the
TN Central
program
, where he left different definitions about the wealth tax, the relationship between Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner and the "adjustment" that the Government is carrying out.
"It amuses me to hear Cristina talking about loyalty. Politics in general, but
Peronism in particular, is a place where no one can walk away,
" he began with his talk in TN.
The host of
Journalism for Everyone
and
Lanata Sin Filter
also said that we are "in full adjustment", although the Government denies it.
"
It is silly to say that there is no adjustment because we all live it, every day
. How do you tell the lady that she is going to buy from the supermarket or the kid who is looking for a job," he said.
In this sense, he assured that "in general, when there were adjustments in Argentina, they were made by Peronism."
On the wealth tax, he said it was "a complicated issue."
"If you raise it without explaining the details of the tax, nobody could be against it. Because it
is good that those who have more pay more than those who have less
," he said.
And he continued: "This in principle why not; it would not seem unfair to me and thinking about the concept of urgency is not bad. Now, later the detail begins and in Argentina it is always rare," he said.
"Taxes for the only time I think there were 17 in history. There were 40-odd emergency situations," he said.
He also spoke of the "
constant tension between Alberto and Cristina
" and said that they gave power to the Minister of Economy,
Martín Guzmán
, who to calm the rise in the dollar "began a type of policy much more orthodox than those they had been practicing."
"Guzmán did not want the wealth tax to be discussed this year. Why it is discussed: because
the government feels that it is making an adjustment and wants to throw something away for the fans,
" he added.

The main definitions:
- "We are in full adjustment even if the Government wants to say no."
- "No one ever takes charge of failure. There are very few people who can take charge of failure, and in the case of politics even worse."
- "The pandemic is one thing and the quarantine is another. Today, what we are experiencing are the results of a bad quarantine. Because it was very long, it closed too quickly and due to various errors. And it was the longest. This is how the economy remained. ".
- "The worst thing a credit organization can do is lend us money because we are sure to screw them up. I'm not saying they're good guys. Today, lending money to Argentina is giving an alcoholic a drink."
- "A few weeks ago, before the dollar fell, the government really got scared. They saw that this was going to shit."
- "I think Lilita has a very intelligent macro view of politics. Sometimes I disagree with her in the most everyday things. Without Lilita there would have been no Change."
- "The appointment of Rafecas seems increasingly impossible and he is the President's candidate."
- "The tension between Cristina and Alberto seemed to disappear with the letter, because Cristina covers Alberto with newspapers but tells him: 'Govern you'. That lasted two weeks, they removed Bielsa from Habitat and put Ferraresi in."
- "Cristina is worried about her son, because of his causes because they still couldn't clean them all. It's not that easy, unless they set fire to Comodoro Py."
- "Argentina's problems are in the medium and long term, we have to wait for the solution to come about like this. In the short term nothing will change, it will be the same or worse."
- "We need a tax restructuring. We spend more than we earn and this is still a problem."
- "There are attitudes of the opposition against the issue of impunity, yes. But it seems to me that it is not enough in political terms."
- "I think the next policy is defined by what is going to happen in the street. How far the Government is going to be able to contain the street."
- "Today politicians are shamelessly thinking about the elections."
