Cabinet chief Jorge Capitanich rejected statements made yesterday by economists gathered at the Institue for Argentina’s Entrepreneurial Development (IDEA) 50th annual conference in Mar del Plata that the current economic model is “finished”. He accused them of being part of the “opposition agenda” and against the many accomplishment of Kirchnerite’s economic model.
The chief of ministers said he was not surprised by the remarks, as “economic concentrated groups in IDEA constantly fight (Kirchnerite’s) economic model.” Speaking at his daily press briefing at the government house, Capitanich added: “They are against the accomplishments of the (Kirchnerite’s) model. They are not against the model itself but against its clear accomplishments, like debt reduction.”
The official denied that the economic model is “finished” as economists and businessman gathered in IDEA’s conference have stated, and highlighted that it shows signs of its “sustainability and continuity over time.”
“Those who say that the (economic) model is finished are wrong, very wrong,” Capitanich stressed.
The Kirchnerite official denounced permanent “strategies based on agressive comments against the government” and called for an investigation of “speculative manouevres, flights of capital by economic groups seeking to harm democratic governments.”
