Mauricio Macri
announced this Sunday that he will not be a candidate for president and shook the Argentine political board.
After hours he also gave details about his personal task in the near future and even strongly questioned the Government.
He asked
Sergio Massa
to be a "patriot" and not act to see
"how he fits in"
and he also issued a warning within Together for Change.
In addition, he was angry
with Juan Román Riquelme
for Boca's present and spoke about his future in FIFA.
"For a normal country,
this would be hyper
," he said about the economic crisis that the country is going through, with year-on-year
inflation
in three digits.
"The
decline
to which this government has led us is
unique in history
. Not only from inflation, the dollar, regulations, this bestial invasion of the State in all places and for having without any rigor," continued the former president.
And he remarked: "Today we are experiencing unsustainable inflation and we are entering a recession. It is going to get worse every time because the Central Bank does not have dollars. This is not sustainable and they still do not want to lower spending."
Then he sent a
direct message to Sergio Massa
, asking him to "try to leave in peace" and "for once be a patriot."
"I ask Massa to try to leave fairly peacefully. To do something so that the next government can recognize that he made an effort. To really do something by thinking for a second, putting himself in the shoes of a patriot and
acting for once interested in the country and not how he accommodates himself.
That surprises us," added the former president, before speaking directly to the referent of the Renewal Front in the official armed forces.
" Minister Massa
,
please
surprise us
by taking some measure that is truly constructive for what is to come," said the founder of Together for Change.
Macri revealed that Rodríguez Larreta and Bullrich knew about his announcement since Friday and Vidal told him at his wedding
Precisely,
the internal opposition
was another of the points on which Macri stopped to refine his gaze.
He even recognized difficulties in finalizing alliances and formulas in some jurisdictions.
"You have to know how to compete with height.
The closure in each district is costing us a lot, there is little generosity.
Everyone thinking that it is the center of the planet.
The one who takes his feet off the plate
together for the Change
no longer exists
for the people. Believing that they can do something apart, against the operation of the whole...", warned Macri, in dialogue with LN +.
In this regard, he asserted that he speaks "a lot with all the candidates,
with the three of the PRO, at least
."
He thus made reference to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Patricia Bullrich and María Eugenia Vidal, who seems to be running behind for the presidential nomination.
In fact, he revealed that he had anticipated
to all three
that this Sunday he would communicate his decision not to be a candidate.
He said that
Rodríguez Larreta
-with whom he met- and
Bullrich
were confirmed
on Friday
.
And
to Vidal
, at her own
wedding party
, to which Macri was invited this Saturday.
The three pre-candidates maintained the pact of silence
and omitted to confirm it, even before consultations this same Sunday.
Within Together for Change, however, Gerardo Morales himself acknowledged last week that he had not spoken to Macri for a while, with whom he had a public discussion in mid-June.
Since then, said the radical leader (whom the former president mistrusts)
he has not spoken
with the founder of the PRO again.
Mauricio Macri against Axel Kicillof: "He is unimputable"
In another section, Macri was reminded of a strong phrase from the governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, who said that María Eugenia Vidal and the former president "took it all away."
"
Kicillof is unimputable
. The other day I got a meme of him making an opening speech and I thought it was a joke. He made
all kinds of mistakes without stopping
. He says anything," crossed the provincial president.
He also stopped at the figure of Cristina Kirchner, for some statements at the discussion table that the Puebla Group put together for her in the CCK.

"The other day he took me
a video in which the former president
, at that trout Human Rights ceremony they did, said 'we left the Central Bank full of reserves'. When I heard that I said: 'It can't be'. There were -5,000,
5 billion dollars of people's deposits
had been spent
. It hurts you. It can't be done," Macri stressed.
"That is why I say that there is no crack. These
are people who defend deranged ideas
that do not work, at any cost, and it hurts you because it destroys. There is no reality; and if there is not, how do you improve?", he asked himself before the challenge of competing with Kirchnerism.
And he added: "You can't fool a lot of people for a long time. She [for Cristina Kirchner] stayed with her core, which, unfortunately, is still huge. 20% is a lot of people, I can't believe that 20% of
Argentines I can't see reality
."
Boca, the chair of FIFA and the World Cup in Qatar: Mauricio Macri off the agenda
Macri also spoke about issues that do not occupy a central place in the frantic political agenda before the 2023 elections, but that constitute
areas of his personal interest
.
One of those spaces is
Boca
, the club that he presided over between 1995 and 2007. In this regard, he was very critical of the current situation of the institution and
strongly questioned Juan Román Riquelme
.
Mauricio Macri and Juan Román Riquelme, in other times.
"I don't have [the fantasy of returning] but
I am very upset
with everything that is happening now because it is the opposite of what I say: no to personalities.
Boca has become a personalism
of someone that I brought to the club two times", launched on the vice president xeneize, true strong man of the club's politics.
"I recognize everything that must be recognized as a player because he was incredible. Now,
this arrogant
, arbitrary, authoritarian way of driving is useless," said Macri, who plays internally at the institution with the
support of Andrés Ibarra
-his former minister of Modernization, already launched as a candidate to preside over the club- and that could even occupy a place in a future board of directors.
In the world of football, the former president also occupies an institutional role: he heads the FIFA Foundation.
In the last few hours, even Carlos Bianco - from Axel Kicillof's kidney - crossed it saying that for him it is "more important to be president of FIFA than of the Nation".
Macri
denied that he was looking for the chair
that
Gianni Infantino
occupies today -and at least until 2027-
.
Mauricio Macri dismissed the possibility of becoming the FIFA presidency.

"I don't want to be FIFA president.
That's a trip to the Moon, it's very difficult
. Infantino has given me a very important place, I'm helping in something ad honorem, like the FIFA Foundation, and I feel comfortable," Macri said. .
His role in the mother house of soccer has led him in recent months to live closely the consecration of the Argentine National Team and Lionel Messi, with whom he took a picture in the back room of The Best gala.
In this sense, the former president said that the world championship that Argentina won is
a "divine message
" for national politics.
"Argentina manages if there is a
set of laws that makes us predictable
. If we are predictable, we are the best in the world. What happened in Qatar happened for a reason. It is a divine message, I lived 30 of the best days of my life" Macri said.
