Discomfort and resignation in the business world for Guzmán’s departure

The resignation of Martín Guzmán has partly surprised the business world, but they want to get to know the successor before drawing sensational conclusions. Entrepreneurs and senior executives consulted by Clarione keep it the departure of Joseph Stiglitz’s pupil was inevitable for the depth of the crisis and also for the lack of political support. “Reality doesn’t surprise me. This would happen sooner or later because it was very difficult for him to make the necessary decisions in that environment, “said one of them under strict record.

In general, businessmen prefer to meet with Guzmán’s successor to draw conclusions. Indeed, many have apologized for making claims in this uncertain context. However, an industry leader was puzzled by Guzmán’s departure. “It’s very complicated to understand, but that’s the reality the minister sees no way outhis plan did not work for him and the pressure against him was very strong, “he said. He also felt that now” the president was left alone “.

Another senior executive of a multinational agreed that the former minister “was very complicated” and that the future is unknown. “Nobody knows for sure how this evolveswith all the pressure cookers together “, he comments. Despite everything, he said that the resignation was not in his calculations.” He always gave the impression of putting up with the fight, but deep down not surprising for the ferocity of the interior“, ended.

In car terminals, badly hit by the recent restrictions on access to Central Bank dollars, Guzmán’s resignation surprised no one. In two of the companies it was already thought as one of the possible scenarios that Sergio Massa was appointed Chief of Staff, in agreement with Kirchnerism. What they have confirmed in all the companies is that the crisis is being followed minute by minute by the directors of the Brazilian side of the same car manufacturers. “On Monday the Central Bank had changed the scenario for us and now it changes again. But Guzmán’s departure was a scenario already analyzed, a concrete possibility, “said one of the directors.

A former minister of the Macri government, with a good landing on the Peronist unions, also targeted Massa as a possible replacement for the government. “For us this is one of three possible scenarios. Another would be that Alberto Fernández took refuge in what remains of his team, with Miguel Pesce as Minister of the Economy and a Fish man in the Central Bank, with the intention of resisting until at the end of his term, “he said.

– And the third option?

-A complete capitulation of Fernández, handing over the Ministry of Economy to a trusted person of Governor Kicillof. The three scenarios are all probable and at the same time very different from each other.
