“If the countries we want to resemble have a large percentage of their GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in foreign debt, why not us?” This is how deputy Eduardo Lust began his interview in Informativo Sarandí. And he added: “This country is almost a paradise, but the system took us to purgatory. You have to take two or three billion dollars and all the problems of the baskets or housing problems are solved. With 40 thousand dollars you can build a decent house. With 400 million they create 10 thousand houses”.
“Now we are going to meet as a party to bring the proposals to accountability. Salaries must be adjusted by the CPI and public spending must be controlled. The system has failed. The ruling party and the opposition. You have to do something to get out of failure. What did the European countries do? You have to get into debt. You have to borrow abroad. You don’t have to touch the reservations. The Broad Front was a good payer even though it ranted against the Monetary Fund”, Lust pointed out in Sarandí.
“It is a proposal that I make. They clearly won’t take it. I am going to be on the side of the ruling party, not because this government is the best in the world. We have philosophical differences. But the Broad Front reproaches him for a lot of measures, which when they were government they did not take.

In reference to public spending, he gave the example of the Inisa (National Institute for Adolescent Social Inclusion). “The other time I started to find out how much he spent on food. And how many inmates does it have, 280.
How many employees does it have, 1000. And how many directors does it have, 80. The grocer’s calculation was that each intern costs a million dollars. What we have to do is send all the young people from Inisa to a five-star hotel and make agreements with schools and it would be much cheaper”.
Lust also referred to the house arrest bill for people over 65 years of age, the figure of Manini in Cabildo Abierto and his future in the party. Listen to the full interview.
