I believe that what Trump said… they did not expect it, they did not take into account that it was Trump and that he could say this that if they did not vote for Milei there would be no support. So that generated a whole instability and distrust that the market itself has, in relation to the prospects of the Milei government.
I think that not only with the agreements with the International Monetary Fund – there was money laundering before – but now going to ask for another bailout… they directly want to turn us into another star on the Yankee flag. We already know that greater conditions come behind that. even to those we have: take our natural common goods, continue looting Argentina. The reforms they call “structural” also come with this agreement. Then we have to see how these 20,000 million and everything will end up being expressed, but that should still be taken with a grain of salt.
I think it is important to take into account that comes with the demand for labor reform. If we look at Greece: legal working day of 13 hours. They want to impose that. There was a very important general strike a few days ago facing this labor reform. Pension reforms, also tax reform so that the negotiations can be done without paying absolutely anything, right? Caputo said: “Stay calm,” a message to Trump, to the United States. He said: “We are fighting with the governors, with the senators, with the deputies, but after the elections, they are in favor of these reforms and with a simple majority we can pass these laws.”
It seems important to me, thinking about October 26, to say: how to guarantee that you have deputies who strongly oppose these laws? I think that the left has shown signs of being a guarantee in that sense: of not giving any type of advantage to Milei, any favors. Not only vote, but There have been absences, abstentions, to favor the Government. And it seems to me that in that sense, thinking about October 26 and what comes after, we have to think about how we face this. Not only in Congress, but also in the streets, which is going to be decisive.
Because if we think now about the laws… The disability issue, the retiree issue, Garrahan and universities, came because the street imposed an agenda.
Obviously they are dragged. But The interference of the United States in the Argentine electoral process, in politics, in our economy… is the total subjugation of sovereignty. And these people are saying, “How can I prepare governance based on the interests of the United States?” It seems to me that we have to be very clear there.
If you listen, the other blocks, there are many that are in favor of the rescue, as they did with the International Monetary Fund. I remember that Carrió said: “We are going to vote for the first time against our principles in favor of a DNU,” which was the one they approved in March with the agreement with the IMF. It did not pass through Congress with a law, but rather it was a decree. And there were also very important absences from Fuerza Patria that helped them have the number.
I add something that caught our attention and that we strongly repudiate: that act that took place in Formosa, by Mayans with Insfran and Victoria Villarruel, Videla’s friend vice president. And one says: why this treatment, this joint act? Well, they are thinking about maintaining an “institutional relationship,” they say, thinking that everything will go haywire and that Milei won’t be able to continue.
These types of meetings are about saying: how do we guarantee that the IMF and the United States plan continues? And the first thing they say is: how do we support Milei? A government hit by the brutal adjustment.
Touring the province of Buenos Aires, the problem of consumption… The retirees don’t have a handle, the worker doesn’t have a handle. The fall in salaries, pensions, small merchants. And the issue of cards, because you don’t make it to the end of the month and you have to go into debt.but it is getting bigger and bigger, so sometimes you can’t even pay the minimum.
The situation is becoming difficult. In the shops, on the tours, you see the empty shopsand those who did not close tell you: “We are holding on to see if the situation settles down, but it is getting more difficult.”
Well, I return to the topic of debt. It is strange to think that the deputies who are on the Fuerza Patria list for Sergio Massa reject an agreement with the United States or a bailout, when Massa was the promoter of the agreement with the IMF with the government of Alberto and Guzmán, No? Everyone applauded him saying: “The consensus you achieved was very good.”
The discourse is always: “If we don’t have this, we’re going to waste.” This is how Carrió justified it: “We are going to vote on this because if not, the country is going into the abyss.”
In a legislative election, you have to have a guarantee. If you want to go against the government, against Milei, you are voting for deputies who are going to be in Congress. And you have to have the guarantee that they are going to oppose those laws, that They are going to promote an agenda favorable to the working majorities, and they are going to be in every fight and every fight. Because, if not, it sounds like a speech that is impossible to carry out.
We are for the sovereign ignorance of all debt: an illegal, illegitimate, fraudulent debt. And we are the only block that raises this. The others who governed with Alberto Fernández recognized the debt. Today you don’t hear them say this.
If there is not a great popular mobilization, if the board is not kicked and said “we are going to go against economic power”, the truth is, it sounds like a speech. That is why what you asked is important: which deputies to elect? Well, make no mistake: it is a legislative election. If you want to confront Milei and defend the rights of retirees, have deputies who are there every Wednesday supporting, in every struggle, the struggle of women… I believe that the left is a guarantee. And it is not a speech that I come to say, but it can be verified with our action.
Precisely stating that the usefulness of the vote against Milei is to get more left-wing deputies. To make a much stronger bench, that opposes not only in Congress, but also in the streets, promoting the organization of workers.
If not, who are you giving strength to? To Jaldo. The deputies of the governor of Tucumán, who are unified with Peronism. They voted for everything for Milei: base law, etc. Last Wednesday the deputies from Tucumán, from Fuerza Patria, and They allowed DNU 70 to remain in force. Thanks to them, Milei can continue with the decrees.
Also when the veto on retirees was discussed. Several were missing. If they were not missing, we overturned the veto.
We are talking about 7 million retirees who were going to have an increase of 60 thousand pesos. It’s not enough, yes, we had a more ambitious project. But well, what I’m saying is: if you’re thinking about how to hit the government, how to fight so that this government doesn’t go any further, strengthening the Left Front in Congress is the only way.
Well I think that There is an important sector that voted for Milei and is dissatisfied. I see it a lot among young people. They approach me and say: “I agree with you, this time I want to think carefully because I was very young when I voted for Milei.” It happened to me in several places. At the University of La Matanza, for example, a kid came to me and told me: “I share several of your proposals, but I can’t afford Sube to come to school. I thought this was going to be better. They scammed me.”
There are also workers who voted for Peronism, hoping that the unions will defend them or that their deputies will be in every fight. And they are not seen. So, there is a sector that is making an experience.
There is a discussion: many agree with what we propose and doubt the question of the “useful vote.” But we are in a legislative session. You have a guarantee.
