The economist and former head of Banco Nación, Carlos Melconian, spoke of the contempt of President Alberto Fernández regarding the Supreme Court’s co-participation ruling in favor of the City of Buenos Aires and in a harsh warning he said: “Government decision opens doors to Venezuela”.
As for the president’s economic arguments for not complying with the provision, he warned that they are an excuse: “This is 100% institutional”“What is the value of the law, what does a deposit, a guarantee, a piece of land mean in Argentina today?”relaunches the economist, who also considers the government’s decision not to comply with the Court’s decision as “very serious”.
In this sense, “It is urgent to find a way out” because otherwise “we are liquidated”She said.
“You have to start working. There was a discretionary management of the funds to give them to the Province of Buenos Aires. This decision opens the door for Venezuela to Argentina. The problem here is the future, there’s a lot of economic jitters,” he said worried.
Talking to Early Saturday on Radio Mitre, the economist assured what was established by Nación “it is a very serious problem” and that the silence of Economy Minister Sergio Massa “says it all”.
“It is a very serious problem. Sergio Massa’s silence says it all. These things like sharing set you back five boxes. It is urgent to find a way out. It is very serious institutionally”he warned. And she added: “I’m risking my credibility in front of the Argentine company that it is an excuse economically speaking. It’s the least important. It’s politically wrong. What does a deposit, a guarantee or a piece of land mean in Argentina today? Any He wondered.
Then he concluded with a World Cup metaphor: “It’s as if the AFA executive committee invaded the field in Mbappé’s penalty and didn’t let you kick. And then you want Argentina to win the world championship. When the referee charges, they don’t let you kick… That team has no future.”
And he continued: “At school they teach you the Aurora hymn and that there are three powers of an autonomous nature, where one is that of dealing with the Constitution. It is very serious”.
Finally, Melconian said that the measure adopted by the Supreme Court “it will not affect the income of the provinces”as does the ruling party.
“It’s not an economic issue and it doesn’t concern the provinces. Here there was a discretionary management of the funds that were withdrawn by the Municipality to be given to the Province from Buenos Aires. They got into trouble and today you have to reverse that process. It happens that the rest of the executive committee has invaded the field,” he concluded.
