The governor of Buenos Aires Province, Axel Kicillof, stated on Tuesday that during his travels through different geographical points in the province, producers, whether "small, medium, or large," told him that "they are not doing well" and attributed this coincidence to the effects of the "model imposed by the national government."
"We are living a crisis of such magnitude that at this meeting we have heard from small, medium, and large producers from different geographical points in the Province, and they all agree that they are not doing well," said the provincial governor in Chascomús.
And he added that "it is not a coincidence" but "the fault of a model imposed by the national government more than two years ago to attack workers, traders, and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs."
"Argentina is experiencing a severe economic and industrial crisis as a result of an economic policy aimed at destroying the internal market. By lowering wages and pensions, consumption, production, and tourism fall," Kicillof concluded.
According to the governor, "this situation is being reflected in a summer season that is not just rest and enjoyment, but also the main source of income for millions of families in Buenos Aires Province."
The agenda Kicillof headed a productive meeting on Tuesday in Chascomús with representatives from industry, tourism, commerce, culture, and the agricultural sector; he was accompanied by Vice Governor Verónica Magario; by the Ministers of Production, Science, and Technological Innovation, Augusto Costa; of Agricultural Development, Javier Rodríguez; and by the local mayor, Javier Gastón.
More than 250 representatives from industrial, tourism, gastronomic, commercial, and metallurgical sectors, among others, participated in the meeting to analyze the development of the summer season and the impact of the national government's economic measures on each productive branch.

For her part, Magario warned that "since Javier Milei took office, all economic activities have been depressed, and the virtuous cycle of production, work, decent wages, and consumption has ended."
"We must recover the policies that allow our country to grow and have more rights," exhorted the vice governor.
