President Javier Milei showed this Friday his confidence that the ruling party will achieve the necessary support to approve its package of reforms in Congress and highlighted his ideological alignment with international leaders. "I am not going to take my foot off the accelerator, this is the moment to accelerate harder," the President stated in an interview with Neura regarding the parliamentary processing of the labor and tax reform projects. The head of state affirmed that in the Chamber of Deputies, the Kirchnerists "are already below 90" and stated that, with the "phenomenal work" of the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, the Government will be able to "obtain a quorum and pass the laws," he noted in dialogue with the streaming channel Neura. Regarding the Senate, Milei highlighted that "it is the first time that Peronism has lost its majority," by pointing out that "they need 37 for the quorum and today that number has dropped to 28." And he added that the ruling party has 21 senators and that the Minister of Security and elected senator, Patricia Bullrich, "is doing all the work to continue adding votes and reach 44." "Congress is going to be in a position to face all these reforms and this is endorsed by the polls," he remarked. Additionally, Milei referred again this Friday to his good relationship with some world leaders and assured that during his meetings in the United States, he perceived a strong alignment in the so-called "cultural battle." "When you are sitting with them, they all breathe cultural battle. I can believe it of Marco Rubio because I have known him for a long time, he understands it perfectly, it is in his blood." "What surprised me is that when we were sitting with Trump's team, they all breathe cultural battle. Bessent breathes cultural battle, Trump also breathes cultural battle," Milei remarked. In another passage, the head of state praised the Israeli prime minister: "The other person who also understands the cultural battle to perfection, who has to do it for survival because otherwise the situation would be very complicated, is a very dear friend of mine and whom I admire, and that is Bibi Netanyahu." "Humanity should be grateful to Netanyahu because he is the bastion of the West," Milei highlighted. The head of state also highlighted this afternoon that the free trade agreement with the United States "has two dimensions," which are "deepening the trade relationship and, in light of the decapitalization of the Argentine economy, advancing in investments." "This not only generates a competitiveness environment through the commercial part, but it also opens the door for us to receive direct foreign investment to grow strongly," Milei said. In another part of the interview, he reiterated his criticisms of the opposition and stated that the "logic" of Kirchnerism was a "reloaded Peronism" that "from fighting capital went on to consume capital," which is why "there is no future scenario and the prices of future goods are zero."
