Concern for the present and the immediate futureSo let’s sum it up Spirit of prominent business leaders of the country. In the immediate future, the decision of PASO is in an environment of added uncertainty due to the weak economic situation, foreign exchange shortage and inflation.
Businessmen’s concerns can be felt in the framework of the meeting convened by the delegates this Thursday A group of 6 people – Argentina Chamber of Construction (CAMARCO), Argentina Industrial Union (UIA), Argentina Banks Association (ADEBA), Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA), Argentina Chamber of Commerce and Services (CAC) and Argentina Rural Society (SRA)- with General Confederation of Labor (CGT) and Construction Workers Union (UOCRA).
A book distribution meeting was held “2034 “Build Consensus on Planning”A compilation about Infrastructure policies needed for Argentina’s developmentA document issued to all presidential candidates.
The event, which was held in the halls of the stock exchange, was attended by heavy rains. “Effects of Climate Change”, A businessman who was there remembered it and commented when he entered it soaking wet Javier MileyThe winner of the primaries denies environmental issues.
At a time when the libertarian candidate is adamant that the government will not fund public worksGustavo Weiss, The Chairman of the Chamber of Construction reminded him that in the Middle States, infrastructure works in private hands. “They make up no more than 10 percent of the total.”
As Weiss explained, the purpose of the work is to “serve as a reference guide for future public policies and their respective infrastructure projects.”
The PASO result was a surprise
It was this act that brought together major business leaders for the first time “amazing” The election results indicate Miley’s victory. A few traders did not express their opinion A concern with the economist’s proposals – Many people know him from his working days Eduardo Urnekian-.
For example, his extreme proposals Dissolve the central bank, dollarize, abolish Mercosur and make no deals with China -the country’s major trading partners-, created uncertainty among many industrialists.
It also added that technical groups are not known except for a few references such as economists Carlos Rodriguez, Roque Fernandez, Diana Mondino and Darius Epstein.
They admit they had no contact with Miley except at a luncheon organized by the Inter-American Council of Commerce and Production last June, when he was the only speaker.
On that occasion, it is worth noting that he was carefully listened to, but from a certain distance, deep down, the Juntos saw him as a potential third-place candidate, well behind Por el Campio and the ruling party. .
“He can be president” A few commented without concern during the coffee break. Others expressed their hope that the polls would be with Miley.
There is no consensus on who will be the other candidate to challenge him in the second election. Some thought maybe Patricia Bullrich And others bet Sergio Massa. But the general confusion became clear, summed up in this sentence from one of the managers: “I no longer dare to make any predictions regarding the election.”
According to businessmen, there are several explanations for La Libertad Avanza’s victory in the election. They are responsible for the candidates’ “aggressive campaigning” as one for change: “They fought among themselves and forgot to talk to voters,” One of them commented.
Others, meanwhile, argued that “Miley’s proposals, particularly, dollarization and abolition of caste, responded to the demand of a large section of society”.
