Argentina's Peronism Needs Renewal to Confront Milei

The Peronism in Argentina needs a profound renewal to survive and remain a strong opposition. This was stated in an interview by José Octavio Bordón, one of the leaders of the 'Renewal' movement in the 1980s. He compared his movement to President Javier Milei's politics, noting that their origins and methods are completely different. Bordón emphasized that Argentina's key problems are corruption and a lack of transparency in government, which cannot be solved with simple promises. What is needed is serious preparation for governance, updating the doctrine to match modern realities, and a willingness to dialogue with all political forces. A governor must prioritize the interests of their province, and their main task is to find solutions to problems, not to fight for power. Bordón also touched upon the topic of relations with neighboring countries, noting that it is important for Argentina to maintain dialogue with Brazil and Chile, rather than relying entirely on the US. In conclusion, he called for a renewal of politics in general, not just Peronism, and emphasized the importance of an independent press as a pillar of democracy.
