The chancellor santiago cafiero assured that the libertarian Javier Milei, winner of the PASO, seeks to integrate what he characterized as “a kind of reactionary international”. According to him, she would do it together with the former leaders Donald Trump (United States), Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil), Mauricio Macri and conservative expressions like Vox in Spain.
«There is a triad that is now reissued in foreign policy, which was guided by the script that he wrote Trump and Bolsonaro, and Macri put it into practice”, Cafiero expressed in radio statements. And he completed: «What Milei is doing is taking that back. What she seeks is to join that sort of reactionary international, where Bolsonaro, Trump, Vox in Spain, [José] Katz in Chile, [Rodolfo] Hernandez in Colombia, [Paraguayo] Cubas in Paraguay”.
Along the same lines, the foreign minister remarked: “They have very similar flags such as the destruction of the State’s capacities, being absolutely reactionary in the face of diversities and returning to constitutional instances where rights are restricted.” In addition, he denounced that “different candidates are beginning to stir up ghosts of dissolution, such as the Mercosur«.
The defense of Santiago Cafiero to the Government
For his part, the official of the red circle of Alberto Fernández stated that Unión por la Patria works to demonstrate that it is necessary to “continue advancing in what has been able to be built this time, but also in the foundations of the Government.” In turn, he justified the role of the President, today relegated from the electoral campaign led by the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa.
In addition, he tried to scare off criticism about the absence of the president and his attempt to propose Daniel Scioli as a competitor in the PASO against Wado de Pedro. «He always privileged the unity of space. He is dedicated to management and once he has decided on Massa’s candidacy, the centrality lies with the candidate, “Cafiero tried to justify.
Lastly, the former chief of staff stressed the importance of strengthening Mercosur, which he defined as “the most important South American integration policy,” and called for strengthening “the globalization of regions.” “The model we are needing is one that increases exports to get genuine dollars from our exported products by adding value,” he concluded.
