Even without a ministry, Sturzenegger proposes a change in the public employment system: “We will escape the gnocchi”

federico sturzeneggernominated by Xavier Miley As the next minister in a portfolio that will specialize in matters of regulation of the economy, spoke this Tuesday about the need for one Changes in the public employment systemsaid the president’s angry clashes with Congress are an example of “vibrant democracy” and refrained from giving his opinion on the macro economy when asked during a panel.

At an event organized by the Libertad y Progreso Foundation in collaboration with the CATO Institute, the President was one of the two participants in the final panel of this first day of consultative activity, at which the Minister of Economy was also present. Louis CaputoWho anticipated that talks with the IMF towards a new programme would take a more formal shape this week.

“I I don’t answer stupid questions. in this administration I deal with deregulation issues, that’s what Miley asked me to help with,” Sturzenegger said, excusing himself from answering a question from the moderator. Enrique Ghersiwhich sent him a question from the public as to why it was launched Dollarization,

The need to eliminate the peso and leave the dollar as the only currency was well put forward in the event that will end tomorrow with the presence of the head of state. In the afternoon he made a presentation Emilio Ocampoa dollarization “hawk” who was a candidate to become chairman of the BCRA during Miley’s presidential campaign, and Lawrence Whitefrom George Mason University, who had the same idea.

asked what he would do with the regime Public employmentSturzenegger said he would consider changing the stability of the Magna Carta through another article. “Explanation” That idea of ​​job stability.

“Argentina fell into a kind of paradox. Our constitution talks about the stability of the government staff. What they meant is clear: when the government changes, the new government does not displace the entire administration I changed it for another serval“, Said.

“And the opposite happens: the reality is that when a government leaves, before it leaves, it fills the state with militants, gnocchi, people addicted to that policy. This is a contradiction“We understand the logic of that article of the Constitution but there is an interpretation that has taken us contrary to it,” he said.

In that sense, he proposed that the solution should come through “another article that says that the only condition for being a public employee is suitability

.One wants government employees to be appropriate. It is important that we save this, that the incorporations going forward happen with a transparent, apolitical process, which could be one of the great changes. We will survive the gnocchiPolitical activist,” he concluded on that topic.

On the other hand, Sturzenegger said that in Argentina there is what he calls “Bermuda Triangle” The corporate that will benefit remain so Regulators. “Imagine a triangle. At one end place the business corporations. At the other, the union corporations and at the bottom, the great political manager, which is the Peronist Party. The Peronist Party in Argentina is the manager of castes and vested interests with its different skins, it is the conservative party of Argentina,” he stressed.

“This is a very solid and rigid triangle because it is is embedded in our legal framework.That’s how these corporations extract resources from our society with those pieces of paper,” in reference to rules set by the state.

“The person most responsible is the President (in fact). Juan Carlos Onganía Who institutionalized this caste system. There were 5% poor in Argentina, and now there are 50 percent. From that moment until now, Argentina grew at a rate of 0.5% real per capita per year. When the ‘triangle’ was established, Argentina was richer than Spain, today we cannot compare. We, our lives and our generation are responsible for the defeat in Argentina. This is the mandate that Javier received, “he explained.

The regulatory consultant then asked himself how to “change and free ourselves from the triangle,” for which he said he would have to “deactivate the power of what I call the blocking agent.” “For the business corporation it’s competition. It eliminates income, which weakens the possibility of these corporations continuing to exert influence to maintain this system. Unions are the boxes,” he said.

“Argentina is experiencing an unprecedented democratic experience, a Congress that issues its own laws. The president being upset with Congress is a symbol of the vibrancy of democracy. Today we have a Vibrant Democracywith debates in which the president fights for his convictions. We have to change perspective, freedom is noise and freedom of power is also noise, welcome, ”he concluded.
