Cristina Kirchner: "From the dollar trap, we moved to the wage trap, with a cruel right wing and no plan."
In an interview with Gustavo Sylvestre, Cristina Kirchner analyzed the country's current situation and made a remark that generated a stir: " We went from the dollar clamp to the salary clamp ." The former president took aim at the adjustment model being implemented by Javier Milei 's government , which she defined as "an anti-state right wing, very cruel and somewhat esoteric." Her statements came amid a heated discussion over cuts in key government areas.
"We're seeing an economic model with a depressed dollar , cuts to sensitive sectors like Garrahan, and a new exodus of scientists . They're copying Martínez de Hoz's little table, but the context today is different," Kirchner said. The former president emphasized that these types of policies don't take into account the present or social needs. She also emphasized that this type of right-wing movement has no real plan for the country.
Throughout the report, the leader of the Justicialist Party expressed concern about what she considers an attempt to dismantle the state. "It's not just austerity; it's a gutting of public policies that have been exemplary," she asserted. In her analysis, the libertarian model lacks strategy and acts by imitation.
The former president's appearance on the news channel coincided with the Peronist party's attempts to reorganize itself during an election year. While the ruling party advances its agenda, voices within the Justicialist Party are growing in demand for a political and economic alternative.
"This is not just the time to hear definitions, but to begin building an alternative proposal," Gustavo Sylvestre emphasized during the interview. In that sense, he said that Kirchner's contribution generates necessary discussions in a society where "pettiness and mediocrity abound."
The former president also questioned the lack of response from certain sectors to the current government's actions. "They criticized me for the way things were done, but this president represses, denounces journalists, and destroys institutions. And no one says anything," she stated. In her view, the profound debate about the country we want to build has been lost.
Before closing, Kirchner insisted that current decisions are damaging areas that were operating with commitment and professionalism. " Garrahan cannot be a victim of this cutback. Neither science nor health can be treated as an expense," he stated.
In closing, she offered a reflection that set the tone for her message: " What matters today is what model of country emerges from this moment ." With this statement, Cristina Kirchner once again positioned herself as a central voice in the Argentine political debate.
