After knowing the data of the INDEC Regarding inflation in April, Alberto Fernández maintained that the price increase is partly “self-constructed” and “psychological”, and received harsh criticism from the opposition sector.
“The ‘psychological’ inflation in April was 8.4%. Psychologically, you think you buy fewer products, but no!” Patricia Bullrich said, adding that “the president explains it to you: it’s not your pocket, it’s your unconscious that makes you believe that you are buying less.
For her part, María Eugenia Vidal -former governor of the Province of Buenos Aires- expressed that “more than three years governing without an economic plan and she shows her face to say that Argentines who do not make ends meet are AMAZING.”
Gerardo Morales, governor of Jujuy, questioned the current management after the official announcement of INDEC. “They came to save us from ‘hunger’ and they are plunging Argentine society into absolute poverty. This is the result of a government that dedicated itself to palace fights instead of managing,” he said.
“From insecurity is a sensation to inflation is psychological. The man who helps in La Rosada is increasingly devalued,” said Cristian Ritondo, head of the PRO’s bench of deputies.
Likewise, it was Javier Milei who used the opportunity to his advantage and pointed out the dollarization plan that he has been promoting for months. “Why continue with the peso as currency? The peso is the currency issued by the Argentine politician, so it cannot even be worth excrement. Defending the peso is defending the fraud of politics,” he commented.
The words of Diego Santilli, pre-candidate for governor of the province of Buenos Aires, were also absent. “This is why they wanted INDEC to hide the index. Once again we have the highest inflation in 20 years. Once again we have the highest inflation in the region,” he said.
