Mauricio Macri backs Javier Milei's political agenda

At the seminar 'Bridges, Dialoguing to Build', organized by the financial holding BICE Corp in Chile, it was expressed that today the priority is to support the ideas promoted by Mr. Milei, which are the correct ones.

Regarding the electoral results, he said that 'there was a situation of great discontent' and that in Argentina, a possible scenario was raised where 'it seemed that once again the growth of populism was going to destroy the country's future expectations' and Argentines said 'no'.

'There is a more and more absolute consensus that populism is a unique scam. It is the most dangerous and successful export we have ever had,' he indicated.

Likewise, he expressed that measures such as 'lowering taxes, reducing spending' need to be implemented, but also to have investment in infrastructure again because without it 'countries do not grow'.

'These things need to be sorted out in the public Budget,' he added.

On the other hand, he emphasized that Milei's administration 'lacks more muscle' and, from the Cabinet, to foster 'dialogue', although he stated that he has a 'personal relationship with him' and that they 'share liberal ideas'.

Former President Mauricio Macri affirmed that the PRO, the party he presides over and founded, will have a competitive candidate for the 2027 presidential elections.

He assured that 'PRO is more alive than ever' and stressed that he has a total of 400 leaders 'that no one else has'.

'What it does not have yet is a known candidate to run for, which it will get in '27. It is a danger.'
