Vice President Cristina Kirchner met the economist this Friday Carlo Melconianowho attended the meeting as president of IERALthe economic think tank of the Mediterranea Foundation. Melconian was accompanied by Pia Astori, President of the Mediterranean
For now, some details of the meeting have emerged. This was stated by Mediterranean sources who confirmed the meeting was taking place Clarione: “It was an institutional meeting of the Mediterranea Foundation and IERAL. In this context, we meet with governors, pre-candidates, authorities, etc. To explain to them what we are doing. A complete program for 2024.“
Melconian was a constant and relentless critic of the economic policy of this government and also of that applied by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in her two presidential terms. Melconian was extremely critical of the minister in particular Martin Guzman.
This was not an obstacle, of course, for the current head of IERAL to hold a meeting with the vice president. Melconian was one of the economists closest to former president Mauricio Macri – he was the head of Banco Nación – and Macri offered him the Ministry of Economy in September 2018, which Melconian did not accept.

He insists on the flight of reserves and uses that data to criticize the business sector.
On the specific issue of imports, Melconian said this week: “Since it is a depressed economy, because you are in control of foreign exchange and because you have a dollar that does not exist, you say, what a record! Look at everything that has come! What a record. We are shooting in Berretalandia that if 5 mangoes entered with 20. And now we are discovering that the free shop, that whiskey, that the upper middle class … “
