The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillofpresented the new edition of his book “Back to Keynes” in the José Hernández room of the Book Fair. In radio statements, he explained that it is the Reissue of your doctoral thesis and assured that “Keynes always has something to tell the present, but today, he has something to shout at Milei”.
Kicillof took the opportunity to question the president’s economic policy: “The president maintains low wages and an ironed dollar. It is neither liberal, nor anarcocapitalista”he said. And he warned: “This results in parallel that the national industry melts, to the countryside.”
The president also pointed against the Minister of Economy: “Caputo said that the middle class ‘spit’ his dollars, but not because there is a confidence in the Argentine economy”. “He who saves dollars does not use them to open a business or invest, but to buy things because the salary does not reach him,” he said.
For Kicillof, current economic policy does not benefit the people: “Today, the question to be asked is if there is something good in Javier Milei’s economic policy and, if so, for whom? It is not for the people, or for the national industry, the producer or the workers”. And he said: “Argentina is a garden of opportunities for those dedicated to financial timba.”

Criticism of the economic model and the driving of the government
The Buenos Aires governor was emphatic in pointing out the president’s contradictions: “The coherence of Milei is his contradictions; says one thing, then the opposite, and then the opposite, and with his army of Twitteros he celebrates it”. He also recalled that during the Milei campaign he had rejected the IMF and criticized Caputo, whom he now calls “The Messi of Finance”.
Kicillof denounced that “Milei is a counter -rags of what happens worldwide: all countries see how national work and industry” And that the Argentine President “It does the opposite”. He also claimed that “Milei insults and denigrates one or the other governor, but when he votes a law, the heroes’ tilda. He removed all the resources he could, have voted or not the May pact or his horrible laws. In the end, his chainsaw was not for the caste”.
During an interview with Gustavo Sylvestre on Radio 10, the president deepened his criticism: “The national government is destroying the productive apparatus of Argentina”. He talked about a “Domentee of the real economy” And warned about the impact of the recession: “Very important fall of co -participible resources”. He questioned the current fiscal system and highlighted: “The province of Buenos Aires contributes 38% of the country’s resources and receives just 7%. Of the 100 pesos it generates, 70 the national government remains and does not return anything to the provinces”.
The governor also denounced the abandonment of key functions: “The National Government has abandoned health, education, security, public works. It has stopped 1,000 works in the province, including 80 schools that the Nation built”.
He referred to the recent meeting of the Federal Investment Council: “It was a very important meeting of the ICC where we discussed structural issues such as logistics, development, tax equity and productive matrix. It is a reasonable agenda that clashes with the Milei model because it does not have a federal or productive look “.
Kicillof also pointed against the judicial agenda of the Government: “They are exploding the cases of the PAMI and the Libra case, but they have an obsession with a clean file. It is a shame.”. And warned about an attempt at proscription: “They use manipulated failures and justice as a political party to prevent Cristina from being a candidate”.
Finally, the governor questioned the way Milei exercises power: “They govern by decree and veto, they want to impose everything without discussing anything. This is a whip and club method. They do not listen to the provinces or society”.
