The national Kirchnerist deputy Agustín Rossi indicated that a potential return of Peronism to power would involve dismantling the economic reforms promoted by Javier Milei, recovering monetary issuance to finance the State, and immediately displacing the president of the Central Bank, Santiago Bausili.
The former running mate of Sergio Massa in the 2023 elections made the statements during an interview on the streaming of El Cronista. There, he rejected the reform of the BCRA's Organic Charter that the Government is promoting and stated that the initiative represents “the law of defeat with which Milei is admitting he is going to lose the elections.”
“I do not agree with the reform of the Central Bank's Organic Charter,” Rossi asserted. He argued that a future Peronist government would need to retain the ability to issue money to finance itself due to the tax cuts and withholdings applied by the libertarian administration and the benefits outlined in the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI).
The proposal exposed the Kirchnerism's intention to once again use the Central Bank as a source of financing for public spending, a policy that for years fueled unbacked issuance and inflation. Rossi was even more explicit when referring to the leadership of the monetary authority: “If there is a Kirchnerist Peronist government, Bausili cannot last a minute at the head of the BCRA.”
