“I listened to the president (Milei) on national television and decided to come here to reflect on this particular moment that Argentina is going through, on the anarcho-capitalist project and the useless sacrifice to which our people are being subjected”, he criticized.
On Monday, Milei celebrated as a “historic feat” the first quarter with a financial surplus that Argentina has recorded since 2008, the first year of the government of Kirchner, his political opponent.
But the former president said on Saturday that this surplus “is not sustainable”.
“Sixty percent may have voted for you, but if later, when you’re in government, people go hungry, lose their jobs, can’t make it to the end of the month, what’s the point?” he added, alluding to the percentage obtained by Milei in the second round of the elections that brought him to power.
Milei’s economic measures include the stoppage of public works, layoffs of public servants, closing government facilities, cutting subsidies, increasing public tariffs and freezing budgets at a time when inflation is approaching 290% per year and poverty punishes half of the population.
“This government has no stabilization plan (…) It’s just an adjustment plan,” warned Kirchner.
