President Javier Milei traveled to Rosario to participate in the main event for the 141st anniversary of the Rosario Stock Exchange (BCR) and delivered a message filled with economic and political definitions. In an electoral campaign context and after weeks of parliamentary tension, the head of state once again reaffirmed the strength of his government plan and the liberal direction that, as he emphasized, has already produced historic results.
"When we took office, inflation was running at 1.5% daily. Today, it's running at 1.5% monthly," Milei stated before an audience of businesspeople, leaders, and officials. In that context, he praised his Minister of Economy's management: "Now it's clear why Mr. Toto Caputo is the best Minister of Economy in the world," he declared, while the official listened from the front row accompanied by Karina Milei and presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni.
The head of state emphasized that his administration has already managed to lift 2.5 million children out of poverty and promised that "from now until the middle of next year, inflation will be nothing but a nightmare that's over." With an academic tone, he explained that "the interest rate isn't the price of money, but of time. It can exist even in a barter economy," and asserted that together with Caputo "they're rewriting the economics textbooks, because everything that's been written in the last 90 years is wrong."
In another section, Milei blamed the electoral climate for the rise in interest rates and coined the concept of "kuka risk," referring to Kirchnerism: "If you find yourselves facing the sodomites of capital, the orcs, those who openly say they're going to break property rights, how much do you think the interest rate is worth then? It's like an end-of-the-world scenario, where the rate tends toward infinity," he warned.
