Traditional policy unfolds in the election year: the distance between what they say and what they do is enlarges. Editorial of “The Red Circle”, a program on the daily left that is broadcast every Thursday from 22 to 24 by radio with you 89.9.

  • It began 2025 and practically the entire arch of traditional politics is already in “electoral mode.”
  • The first who adopted that position is the Government of Javier Milei and shows in many gestures and measures of the ruling a high cost) until the disengagement of the head of the ANSES, Mariano de los Heros Why? Because he said that the government seeks a pension reform that includes an increase in retirement age. That’s why they cracked him. The worst thing is that the Government wants a pension reform that increases the retirement age, but of course, we are in the election year and that cannot be said.
  • Milei intends to reinvent in some way the cantinela that allowed him to win the elections: the adjustment “will pay the caste”.
  • In fact, after Tuesday “black” (or if you want “gray”) of falling Argentine financial assets, shares, bonds, some attributed it to investors no longer buy the financial illusion that Milei sold throughout this time.
  • The sensation is that this “electoral mode” diverts to the government, distracts it from the great structural reforms that it promised (labor, pension, etc.) and induces it to maintain the stocks which generates certain differences with the IMF that at the same time slows down The possibility of an agreement that enables dollars That a “great agreement” would not be made, but a “small agreement” to the elections.
  • In another area or in another front, the privatization of hydrovia has just failed. There are navigating ships that transfer 80% of foreign trade and it is a millionaire business, there was a single company denounced by the Government, that company in turn denounced the government to make lobby for another, and so on. In a maneuver full of irregularities, they had to withdraw the call for tender and would have to do it again. But what I want to emphasize is that, beyond the acts of corruption or the acts of corruption “in a tentative degree”; The government cannot show that now there is confidence in investors and that privatizations or investments are going to the stern.
  • From the “external front”, to call it in some way, after euphoria for the triumph of Donald Trump came the reality of his measures that show that the US has no friends, he has interests. The first impact was the “commercial war” unleashed by Trump against any of its partners that led to the strengthening of the dollar and can still unleash other consequences that affect Argentina. But then came a measure that hits our country directly and is the increase in 25%tariffs, which will govern since March for steel and aluminum imports. Trump said last Tuesday that there will be no exceptions when asked specifically about Argentina. Acindar has already started with personnel suspensions.

    – Then there are other symptomatic data: the Government celebrated the January inflation fact that the Indec this Thursday (today) was released: it was 2.2%, but, to see, this means that there is still inflation. Second: There is a methodology that still did not correct and distort. But, in addition, according to the LCG consultant, food inflation hit a jump in the first week of February and reached 2.3%. It was the greatest rise in almost a year. Let’s look at some disaggregated data: meat (3.9%) and drinks (4%) explained almost 80%of weekly inflation. I do not know you, but what do I buy immediately because the supermarket is noted, in the butcher shop, etc.

  • If you take this whole picture (the hand brakes of the same government, the doubts of the back Drab in Davos, the speech that caused a massive movement against him, we noticed, not a dramatic crisis, but a soulless government, as he lost that impetus with which he came “for everything” and there is more and more distance between words and facts . This is not necessarily expressed immediately in surveys, it can maintain support, as well as a lot of opposition. But I speak of the general dynamics that is more than the volatile public opinion.
  • We also notice it in Congress: all the agite for the “clean file” in deputies to give a bone to the PRO and shocks against corruption, but in reality freedom progresses wants to use it as a tool to negotiate in the Senate with Peronism, either the suspension of the step or appointment of Ariel Lijo in the Court. And even sectors of the same government say they prefer that the “clean card” to keep Cristina Kirchner in the race locks in the Senate because they believe it serves him. On the other hand, it encourages a “medium” Peronism. That is, he is playing the thread with the classic caste methods, helped by all.
  • Now if this is the dynamics that a government shows with this level of precariousness, it is also true that it does not completely form those above (I say, they support it, but …), but it attacked a lot to those below and continues to do so.
  • The last report presented by the viewpoint of today, the work and the economy (Mate) ensures that the first year of libertarian management each private sector worker has lost more than one million pesos, each retiree saw more than two million vanished, And each state lost more than three and a half million pesos only in one year.
  • Only this fact would justify going out to face the government bluntly, even if it were “strong.” But, if also, it has all those fragilities that are evident, the orientation that follows that they want to help Milei to fulfill the dream of their own caste is truly “criminal”.
