The publication of the average inflation index for May by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (Indec) returned to very high by reaching 7.8% and 114.2% year-on-year and the opposition did not forgive the ruling party for the data: "The monthly failure index."
With a video of a calculator that says: "Error, the accounts do not give," presidential candidate Horacio Rodríguez Larreta launched: "The accounts do not give, the money is not enough for anything and you do not reach the end of the month. We cannot go on like this. As of December 10, we will begin to lower inflation so that we can return to live peacefully."
Rodríguez Larreta's internal opponent, Patricia Bullrich, went further: "The monthly index of failure and decline without any policy to reverse it. It's the change or it's this."
In turn, Diego Santilli, one of the pre-candidates for governor of the JxC in.
"453 days of the "war on inflation". The result: 7.8% month-on-month, 114.2% year-on-year. The only war is the one that Argentines fight every day to make ends meet. They have failed miserably and turned their backs on society," Santilli said.
The radical deputy Martín Tetaz, for his part, remarked: "Prices ran in May at 146% annualized, although food and beverages slowed down. An anti-inflationary plan is urgent because there will be an ineluctable process of dollarization that always occurs in an election year and that fall in the demand for money can accelerate inflation."
Martín Lousteau, a radical senator and former economy minister under Cristina Kirchner, said that "inflation shows the failure of the current government."
