In Argentina we only discuss the closest thing, which is the Fund” Martin Lousteau
“This is a legislative agenda meeting that must be part of something bigger, the kickoff to discuss what we are going to propose to society in 2023; because the better radicalism is, the better its proposals are and the more its candidates are strengthened, the better Together for Change is going to be,” Lousteau said upon entering the meeting of legislators with the National Committee.
Asked about the agreement announced by the national government with the IMF, the economist Lousteau pointed out: “We know very little and we see the internal differences that the government has.”
The radical senator added that “what is not discussed in Argentina is an agenda for the future” and proposed “an exercise of collective imagination and an agenda of real reforms that modify daily life.”
“However, in Argentina we only discuss the closest thing, which is the Fund,” he stated. And, he concluded: “If the debate is exhausted in whether or not to vote on the Fund instead of discussing what possibilities that opens or what obstacle that generates for the country we want, we are not discussing anything.”
