The head of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió, said that "What awaits the investment in Argentina, it is to know if he wins (Mauricio) Macri or Cristina (Kirchner)" in the next elections, it is "if we are ( Nicolás) Maduro or if we adopt this republican conception ".

In an interview, the vice president and founding partner of Cambiemos also praised the extinction of power that the government has implemented through a DNU.

"It will be corrected if there are errors, but the law coming from the Senate is a shame," he said against the norm approved by the upper house, which completely changed the initiative. from the House of Representatives.

On the economy, he felt that "The Lebac were a mistake" and "This crisis we should have had before, to further clean up the economy."

But he considered that "Even with the recession, we have a decisive improvement in the trade balance" and that now "the big challenge is to reduce inflation".

For Carrió, however, "What awaits the investment to come to Argentina, is whether Macri or Cristina wins, ie if we are ripe or if we adopt this republican conception", before deciding to invest in the country in the future.

Also on the economic front, he said: "We need to reduce taxes and simplify them, but it is now the provinces that have surpluses, because the government has returned to the return of federalism."
"It will be the first non-Peronist government to rule in the minority and end the mandate in peace," he said.

He also talked about the currency crisis last year, where he said that he was "next to the president" and talked about his relationship with him.

"People believe that I am fighting with the president, no, I guarantee institutionality," he said.

At the meeting he had last week with the president, Carrió reserved the content, but said: "Meetings with him are very entertaining, he challenges me, I challenge him."

He also had definitions about this year and his political future: "I will devote myself fully to the campaign for the re-election of Mauricio, I will not run for more."

In this sense, he felt "that there is a great opportunity for Argentina to have a Republican leadership, endowed with a moderate, tolerant and humanistic center, and that the fight be today takes place between humanism and fascism, "said Carrió following the October elections.
