Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) head José Ignacio De Mendiguren deemed President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s categorical reelection as “very positive” and stressed the “the strong emphasis that the Government has put in industrial policies.”
“Argentina is going through a very important industrialization process and we would like it that once and for all we don’t take a step back and that the country achieves a definite reindustrialization,” De Mendiguren said.
“Yesterday’s elections were very positive. The opposition celebrated yesterday as a day of transparency and elections. This is very important for us, as there are no big dissents in economic and industrial policies.”
The UIA head confirmed he “celebrated and called the Head of State and in name of all industrials, and we urged her to keep on working together.”
“The industry has grown 92 percent since the crisis,” De Mendiguren recalled, and highlighted that “everything the President proposes, of adding value, of the country’s reindustrialization is what we have always strived for.”
“It’s difficult to find, since former President Arturo Frondizi’s administration, such a strong emphasis on industrial policies,” he added.
“The permanent calls for consensus and to correct what needs to be corrected helped the President in achieving yesterday’s results. They will give strength to the Government to do what has to be done,” De Mendiguren concluded.
