Martín Lousteau denounced the "lack of control" in the management of Javier Milei's government.

In an interview with Radio Rivadavia, Martín Lousteau maintained that Javier Milei 's administration inherited an economy with structural problems, but is failing to implement measures to improve state management. "Kirchnerism left behind 200% annual inflation and a state that spent poorly. This government has inherited that financial legacy, but it's not addressing what's important: ensuring the state functions well," he stated.

According to the senator, spending cuts are being applied indiscriminately. "There are bad expenses that are cut just as much as good ones. And then we see a lack of control in management when there is evidence of overpricing or bribes," he explained.

Lousteau compared the national administration with the provincial administration: "Santa Fe buys medicines 83% cheaper than the retail price. It also implements solidarity-based pension reforms and adjusts public works costs. This shows that the deficit can be resolved through better administration."

The senator emphasized that the key isn't to automatically cut spending, but rather to spend efficiently and plan policies that prioritize investment in strategic sectors. "The way to solve Argentina's problem is to better manage the state. I don't see that as the current path," he stated.

Furthermore, Lousteau emphasized the need to debate structural reforms. “We have always presented proposals: I worked on pension reform, labor reform, and I raised the need for tax reform. The important thing is to discuss them, debate them, and find the best alternative, not impose coercive measures,” he stated.

For the senator, Javier Milei 's administration must reestablish communication with the provinces and Congress, building consensus that allows for sustainable and transparent policies. He criticized the focus on financial measures and noted that the real economy and efficient public management should not be left behind.

Martín Lousteau concluded that without transparency, efficiency, and dialogue, the deficit will persist and trust in institutions will continue to deteriorate. Economic recovery requires a balance between spending reduction and smart investment, always prioritizing the well-being of citizens and the stability of the State.
