In an extensive interview with Diego Sehinkman on the TN channel, the former president Mauricio Macri He clarified that “The agreement between the PRO and Freedom is not closed in the province of Buenos Aires”thus denying the president’s statements Javier Mileiwho had assured that this understanding was already sealed.
“Two photos were taken, but I did not listen to the president, or Karina Milei, or Santiago Caputo say that they want an agreement with the PRO in the province”Macri said, and added: “If we want an agreement, let’s start to put it clearly and then see District by district how it is armed.”
Macri also crossed Milei for his statements about the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires: “It is told things that are not true. The city lowered the expense, lowered taxes, and has a fiscal surplus years ago. You can’t lie with that.” And defended the management of Jorge Macri, the current head of government, highlighting that “He is the only one that has a team and experience to solve the complex problems facing Buenos Aires.”
During the interview, Macri was blunt: “We have been supporting this government as never before in democratic history a party that is not in power supported another. But one thing is to support the economic reforms we share, and another is to tolerate lies or destroy.”
On the attacks of libertarian officials, such as Manuel Adorniwho compared the PRO with a “Nokia 1100”, Macri relativized: “At this point it does not offend me. The important thing is not the words, they are the facts.”
As for his link with Milei, Macri assured that the president “He decided to delegate everything in Karina Milei and Santiago Caputo”and regretted that “They don’t take care of him. They should say incorrect things that damage their own credibility.”
He also explained that although “The PRO wants this government to do well”legislative support is not unconditional:
“We will continue to accompany while institutions and the National Constitution are respected. No economic reform can be above the institutionality.”
Finally, when consulted by his political future, Macri reiterated that It will not be a candidatebut left the door open to continue influencing:
“My vocation is to help. And the best way to help today is to strengthen the PRO as an institutional counterweight.”
According to the Argentine news agency, Macri was categorical when pointing out that “Political energy must focus on winning Kirchnerism, not to attack the pro”and defended the possibility of ideas -based agreements, not impositions:
“We are where we were always. The problem is that some now prefer to build power before building country.”
