As the presidential campaign in Argentina progressed until reaching the second round, this Sunday (19), candidates Sergio Massa and Javier Milei presented their proposals to lead the country for the next four years. Check out the main proposals of each one below.
Deputy for the City of Buenos Aires for La Libertad Avanza, Milei based his campaign almost entirely on economic propositions, which come from his professional training in this area.
Many analysts maintained that Massa was at a disadvantage in the campaign. This is because the Unión por la Patria lawyer has a dual role, as a minister and as a presidential candidate.
Massa’s economic proposals for the future clash with the requirement that they be applied during his current tenure at the head of the Treasury Palace.
After the primaries, the minister-candidate took a series of measures to mitigate the effects of the economic devaluation of August 14, seeking to contain the deterioration in salaries.
He managed to get Congress to eliminate the fourth category of income tax, which favors sectors at the top of the salary pyramid, but he also made announcements aimed at retirees and informal workers.
He guarantees that the economic measures he has taken so far are “transitory, but they have to do with the reality of the moment”, which suggests that his decisions in the future could be different.
The proposals were released in an election that places the economic issue as central, as the country’s inflation is at 142.7% per year, and has been growing rapidly in recent years.
