by Evo Morales questioned the government of Javier Milei and, two weeks before the inauguration, doubted that the libertarian president finish his term. “I was in Argentina at the end of December and I said goodbye for four years.. TO The best is no longer four years…“said the former president of Bolivia. In addition, he compared the situation of the Peronist militants with that of his own activists inside Luis Arce.
“What is happening in Argentina is very serious. I have some information, the leaders tell me. Also some brothers who live there told me that, for example, if a kilo of rice cost 10 bolivianos, now it costs 20. With the salary already They cannot pay electricity rates and Now humble people buy candles to live”, Morales began his analysis of the Argentine situation.
He drew attention to the cacerolazos against the DNU, in which – he stressed – not “popular people” but the middle class participated. “That governing with decree, decree and decree… The right governs with decrees“, he added to the questions.
And then he remembered the predictions he left on his last visit to the country.
“On the 1st and 2nd (of December) I was in Argentina. I told them ‘I’m saying goodbye for four years.’ Maybe it’s not four years now, from what it feels like. What will happen? Because there is a total reaction. Surprised, it’s right-right,” she said with a smile.
He also referred to the adjustment in the State. “They have fired thousands of workers. The last ones who entered Alberto Fernández’s management, out, out, out,” she analyzed, with rhetoric similar to Milei’s, on the coca growers’ radio station Kawsachun Coca.
“History repeats itself in Bolivia: evistas, out. Peronists out, here evistas out. What a coincidence!”, ventured the former president, who sees behind the influence of the United States.
He thus alluded to the internal conflict he has with Bolivian President Arce, despite the fact that both belong to the MAS.
He also referred to the communications between the libertarian and Elon Musk. “He is interested in lithium,” he said about the Tesla and X magnate.
“But he also claims ownership rights in lithium. Please! It’s very serious,” he complained.
Morales was an ally of the late Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Kirchner, while Arce reissued that alliance with Alberto Fernández since he became President of Bolivia at the end of 2020.
The position of the Arce government after the arrival of Javier Milei to La Rosada
The Arce Government has already stated that it hopes to maintain with Milei “the same level of fruitful cooperation” that it had so far with Argentina. In any case, the Bolivian president did not help Milei’s inauguration.
Last week, Arce maintained that “we must keep our ears to the ground” about the possible effects that the libertarian government’s measures will have on Argentina’s neighboring countries and assured that his administration will take all necessary measures to “defend” the national economy.
Along these lines, the Minister of Economy, Marcelo Montenegro, reported on Wednesday that the Government “is evaluating the impacts of the” economic measures that are being applied in Argentina.
He added that actions will be announced “opportunely” to protect, above all, “food security” and food production in the country.
