It is difficult to avoid day by day with the offer of so many triggers that take your eye off the concrete. A fireworks maker, President Javier Milei understands the game and practices it, like a multiple tero that has its nest in one place and, following that tradition, sings anywhere else. At the same time, the president offers a clear exercise: reviewing his statements. Tremendous contradictions do not appear, there are hardly any. On the contrary, there is a determination to attack the State. He does not mention it but his denunciation of bureaucracy is firm.
But Milei has beginner’s mistakes. Example: the ministries are not reduced from 20 to 10 (I quote ideal numbers), because the permanent staff of State employees will remain firm. Not even Milei and his public discourse over a small issue can “break” them: the Labor Law. Just close the renewal to those hired. He may say I reduced ministries and he will be right, removing the number of employees is something else. For this week, which is opening the time of the harvests and their liquidations (not so many, not so many), you can start a challenge: get into the file for something that, if allowed, constitutes that… a challenge. How much of what Milei says is possible and how much of it is a “football for the stands”?
NK said, “Don’t read what I say, look at what I do”. Maximiliano Pullaro, current governor in the province of Santa Fe, when asked about the confrontation of a man in politics with years and years of such exercise against an outsider as the president replied: “I agree with the majority of the things it solves” (report dated April 20). Diplomacy and protocol.
That’s what the governor says. My task is to search, in the archive, if there is a visible path between so much rocketry and fireworks. The question is this: Will he have a real offer or is he just any Antonio Machado who believes he can make his way by walking? I am a journalist. I have questions, not answers, but I offer file. That is why I quote the Infobae clippings about the president’s Bariloche conference:
“We found ourselves with a deficit of 17 points of GDP from twin deficits. These twin deficits had a consolidated fiscal deficit of 15 points of GDP, where 5 corresponded to the National Treasury and 10 to the Central Bank. As if that were not enough, the position of The Leliqs, which could be in 30, 60 or 90, 120, 180, 150 and 180 days, had all been converted to one-day repos. This means that at the time we assumed the monetary base could have quadrupled in one day. .
He said more. In its second cut, Infobae quotes: “The previous government issued 13 points of GDP directly and indirectly, with a base that today is 2.6. It involved multiplying by five, that is, we added four times more monetary base. That is, We would be talking about an inflation rate in the order of 15,000%. This seems exaggerated, the reality is that during the first week of December prices were already traveling at 1% per day. That is 3,700% annualized. great that prices were already traveling at 7,500% annually. We were effectively on the path to hyperinflation.
It is within this text that it says: “(…) he who flees capital is a hero, he managed to escape from the clutches of the State.” I have no reason to doubt Infobae’s columnist, Mariano Boetner. Infobae is not a newspaper, nor a television channel, nor a radio station, it is a news portal, a widely read portal. “I want you to prove me wrong, to challenge you to show that politics can be more than it is, to show that we can put the interests of the nation before miserable electoral interests.”
“If they look for conflict, they will have conflict”… “The last twenty years have been an orgy of public spending”… “They left us with a State that does everything and does everything wrong”… “We have a strong conviction that the The mother of all evils is the fiscal deficit, which then has different manifestations. Then what the immoral politicians do (…) How would you feel if your grandparents went crazy and passed the bill to you? “They would be overheated.”
“Between the mafia and the State I prefer the mafia. The mafia has codes, the mafia complies, the mafia does not lie, the mafia competes”… “I am General AnCap (anarcho-capitalist). I come from Liberland, a land created by the principle of original appropriation of man (…) My mission is to kick the ass of Keynesians and collectivist sons of b%&”… “Don’t be afraid, fight the battle against left-handedness, we are going to win it, we are productively superior and we are morally superior; this is not for the lukewarm… Long live damn freedom!”
“Take a Puccini character, bring it to real life and that’s me.” Well, let’s take advantage of this fact: he has a life like those characters in Giacomo Puccini’s operas. An aria is the most sung in the history of the author and perhaps of all opera authors: Turandot. It was premiered on April 25, 1926 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan under the direction of Arturo Toscanini.
There are several anecdotes from the day of the premiere: firstly, that the dictator Benito Mussolini refused to be present at it, because Toscanini refused to perform the fascist anthem “Giovinezza” first. Furthermore, when the work reached the middle of the third act, two measures after the words “Liú, poetry!”, the orchestra stopped, the conductor lowered his baton and turning to the audience said: “Here the opera ends, because in At this point the master died…”
The poem, with that very rare protagonist, Prince Calaf – the one who solves the enigma of the cruel princess Turandot – is the one that ends with these verses: “Dilegua, o notte!… Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle!. . / All’alba vincerò! / vincerò! / vincerò!
Everyone remembers her… or should look for her. Milei remembers her. And it is interesting that, when she wants to refer to something different from her own, the cumbersome numbers of the economy, she chooses Puccini. A princess and enigmas together with the night and the dawn. She must realize that she cannot ignore the fact: she is unfinished. The unconscious exists, maintain those who know about the subject of saying, remaining silent and elaborating the crunchy brain.
In 2019, Milei said: “Notice that between zero and 1800 the growth rate was 0.02% in per capita terms. During the 19th century, it accelerates almost 33 times jumping to 0.65%. In the first Fifty years of the 20th century, it grew at 1.06, in the second part 2.1%, and today the world grows at 3%. What does this mean a phenomenal acceleration of growth if you consider that the national accounts underestimate. 1.15% growth, today the world would be growing around 4.15% per capita. That means that over a hundred years we will be multiplying GDP per capita by 60 times. be achieving 4.6 times more than we achieved in the history of humanity. And that manifests itself in what? Doubles the GDP per capita: originally it took 3,466 years. Later in the 19th century that number fell to almost 107. , then to 65.74 in the first part of the 20th century. In the second, 33.35% and now, 23.45%.
She is not a princess who promises love if a riddle is solved. She is neither a riddle nor a strange prince. It’s those numbers of yours shooting at full speed. And his phrases, as resounding as they are unassailable. From the distant high school she dragged a riddle. She was in the math lesson programs. It is ideal for the president to solve. It is as impossible as the definitions of it.
With Milei the country goes to the number pi. The number π (pi) is the relationship between the length of a circle and its diameter in Euclidean geometry. It is an irrational number and one of the most important mathematical constants. It is often used in mathematics, physics and engineering. The numerical value of π, truncated to its first digits, is the following: 3.14 15 92 65 35 89 79 32 38….
It’s not Puccini. It is as simple to understand as Milei’s riddles about our destiny if he did not appear and, with 56% of the real votes in the country, thanks to that election, it takes us from the nonsense where we were going to end up to this place where we are. Advice as practical as it is crazy: choose the six you like the most and play Quini 6. I suggest 3/14/15/9/26/5. If you win… let me know. All numbers are and are, like the Euclidean formula, irrational… until they come out. With Milei, I estimate, something similar happens.
