President Javier Milei classified Paolo Rocca, CEO of Techint, and Javier Madanes Quintanilla, owner of Fate, as 'crony entrepreneurs' during the inauguration of Argentina Week in New York. 'I can say that the other two are crony entrepreneurs,' the head of state stated. In the same vein, he stated: 'Rocca, Madanes, in collusion with thieving politicians, attacked many Argentines, but it's over. The corrupt policy is over.' 'Politically it works, thank you, boss,' he highlighted. 'I have no doubts that the good guys are going to win. It's uncomfortable to ask these questions, but I'm willing to do it for a better Argentina.' In turn, he defended his import opening policy for the benefit of 'millions of Argentines' to the detriment of the interests of the mentioned businessmen. 'Everyone knows that in recent weeks I had open confrontations with Paolo Rocca, with Javier Madanes Quintanilla, and with the textile sector, but since no one showed a visible face, I cannot attack directly. Even in this juncture, Argentina improves the terms of trade. Who is in favor of corruption? It's not a child's play. We did well in the midterm elections, let's hope we do well in the general one.' Finally, he mentioned the ministers of Economy, Luis Caputo; of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger; of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello; and of Health, Mario Lugones, for their work. 'Doing things right pays off,' he insisted, and added: 'We are doing everything to finish once and for all with Kirchnerism and populism. It's true that that sector is going to go to loss, if it doesn't reconvert, and disappears,' he warned. 'Regardless of the fact that said businessman pressured the Government by saying that if we didn't remove the barriers he was going to fire 900 workers onto the street,' he stated and added: 'The day before the labor reform is treated in Congress, he fired 900 workers onto the street. They are distorting relative prices, producing something that shouldn't be. We took away the majority from Peronism in both chambers.' Except for Pettovello, Diego Santilli (Interior), Alejandra Monteoliva (Security) and Carlos Presti (Defense), the rest of the Cabinet is present at the Argentina Week. 'The Kirchners when they insulted Rocca they didn't insult him because they hated him but because they were negotiating the bribe.' 'When I fight, I fight for the well-being of Argentines. It's a clipping of freedom and if the consequence of that is a trade barrier, it's a robbery.' In another passage of his speech, the head of state thanked the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, for her internal policy and the electoral performance of La Libertad Avanza. Buenos Aires, March 10 (NA) – President Javier Milei classified Paolo Rocca, CEO of Techint, and Javier Madanes Quintanilla, owner of Fate, as 'crony entrepreneurs'. We are passing reforms that had never been achieved. A policy could be utilitarian in politics and efficient in the economy and still be unjust, so it should not be defended,' the libertarian stressed and added: 'If I earn my money honestly, who the hell is the politician to tell me what I can spend it on and what I can't?. 'Under normal circumstances it would have been a first-round victory if it had been presidential. So he expressed during the inauguration of Argentina Week, in New York. 'We have bad people, but also creative for evil. What is going to happen is that people are now going to save and they will be able to spend them in different sectors of the economy'. Likewise, he remarked: 'If it's so obvious, then why is there a politician who defends this. It's logical: it's corruption. They sustain that system because it sustains corruption.' 'There is an allocative problem. If they open up, now they will be able to buy 100 times more'.
