In the balance of his last year in office, Rodolfo Suarez from Mendoza charged against inflation and the damage of populism.


In his last speech before the Mendoza legislature, Governor

Rodolfo Suarez

(UCR Together for Change) vehemently criticized the economic policy of the national government.

"Transit through this Argentina becomes unbearable," he said.

Suarez aimed all his darts at inflation, insecurity, the advance of drug trafficking, low economic expectations, anti-business policy and the "damage that populism has done to the culture of work."

"Populism has been wreaking havoc in the country. It has substantially aggravated any pre-existing economic imbalance, generating galloping inflation that has made the value of the currency disappear, has pulverized income and has produced general restlessness, which is throwing the floor to the ground. any hope of individual and collective improvement", attacked Suarez.

To begin with,

the governor criticized the management of Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner because "it underestimates the citizenry and has generated decadence."

"In this painful landscape, lies a national government that professes an ideology that 'perceives itself to be progressive' but that curiously looks down on the deterioration of social life and underestimates the citizen agenda, putting the interests of impunity of its leaders first through arbitrary questioning. institutionality," Suarez described.

And he spoke of an unbearable country:

"Thus the transit through this Argentina is becoming difficult to bear for the day to day of people, especially the most vulnerable and the middle sectors

 and for the productive sector."

He said that for the provinces with a diverse productive base, the Argentine economy is threatening: "The evidence of the damage today is so forceful that it kills any allegory of the populist story. The story no longer controls reality."

Suarez praised his austere management: "Mendoza is able to resist the populist model simply because it is well managed."

He cited the conflict with the Mapuches as a sign of populism.

"The harsher the extravagances of populism have been, the firmer the pulse has been in Mendoza. An example was the attempt to create problems for us such as the capricious and improper allocation of land to self-perceived Mapuche people."

The president also pointed out the problems to export and import "that make production unfeasible, stocks and unpredictability of the rules of the game that discourage investment."

And he described the national policy with "record fiscal pressure, uncontrolled public spending, a dramatic loss of reserves and a national state that feels comfortable regulating marginalization and violence" as "anti-business."

The Cuyano governor was emotional, almost broken and with tears when he thanked his lieutenant governor Mario Abed (UCR), for the three difficult years they had gone through, when they had to take office together with the pandemic.

He spoke of the differences with the Nation in handling the pandemic.

"Mendoza distinguished himself from the rest of the country because he opened his economic activities and returned to face-to-face education earlier."

repercussions

The radical's speech occurred a few hours after losing in the elections of seven communes governed by the opposition to his party.

Although Cambia Mendoza has highlighted that some of his own candidates were close to prevail in the general elections.

From the opposition, the campero Lucas Ilardo, said that the end of Suarez's management comes when the ruling party has just lost 7-0 in Mendoza.

And he predicted: "Yesterday's elections showed the end of the cycle."

His recent political rival, PRO deputy Omar de Marchi, who set up his own party to compete against Alfredo Cornejo for the governorship, said that Suarez lacked a vision of day-to-day problems.

"The solution is not to look for blame elsewhere. Suarez did not say how they plan to reverse Mendoza's problems and improve, for example, in terms of Education," De Marchi said.

The radical Cornejo, with his usual critical tone, redoubled his offensive against Kirchnerism

: "The government of Alberto and Cristina is objectively the worst government in the history of democracy, which has harmed the popular sectors with inflation and the devaluation of the coin".

And about the primary elections that they lost in 7 communes yesterday, he said: "In some municipalities 50% of the voters voted, you have to go looking for those people because objectively in San Rafael, San Carlos and La Paz, the election has remained open ".
