The siege will continue, but a more prosperous, fairer, and freer Argentina has already been born. The past is behind us, and something different begins», he completes in a long explanation. Then he draws a supposed parallel with the current national situation: «I don't know if Ortega thought of it that way, but it is a perfect metaphor for the process Argentina is going through. An Argentina of 50 years of decadence is beginning to be left behind, and a new country is born, more prosperous, fairer, more federal, and freer». In the post, he mentions President Javier Milei and the Ministry of Economy, Luis Caputo. «Imagine the resources available to bend the will in journalism, or in the other branches of the nation, he lashed out. «But just as Minister Luis Caputo says it is difficult to anticipate the economy by looking at history because Argentina has never lived through the external and internal conditions of the current moment, the same applies to those who think about the effectiveness of the media attack,» he sentenced. Finally, he lists the reasons why, in his opinion, there is no scandal that hits the government's brand: «This time it is less effective in affecting the economy's progress because a) the government has a balanced budget, b) it has its financing needs covered until the elections, c) the exchange rate is not used as a stabilization tool, being able to fulfill its role as a stabilizer, d) we are experiencing an unprecedented boom in exports, e) the economy has been growing since President Milei took office, of course, from an unfathomable pit, f) unemployment looks stable, so the market is naturally incorporating new entrants, g) the international context values our productive resources as never before, h) the country has advanced in economic opening in the last 6 months more than in 50 years. There is more to mention (and, of course, innumerable problems that still need to be solved), but it is enough for the enumeration». «That's how they hit last year, and the economy still grew by 3.5%». «My impression is that the better Argentina does, the deeper the changes promoted by President Milei, the more intense this media siege will become. These days, the ridiculous episode of mortgage loans shows, to some extent, the level of desperation. Today the siege continues and the dollar doesn't move.
The Siege Will Continue, But a New Argentina Has Been Born
Former Minister Federico Sturzenegger defends the Argentine government from media attacks, comparing the current situation to the plot of the film 'El Jockey'. He argues that the country is emerging from a 50-year period of decay and beginning a new era of prosperity, justice, and freedom, despite the ongoing media siege.
