Brazilian Finance Minister Pablo Guedes voiced support for the adjustment and reform policy implemented in Argentina. After a meeting with the head of Treasury, Nicolás Dujovne, the Brazilian official said that "we will support all the efforts of stabilization of Argentina". The burning defense of Guedes with the government of Cambiemos strengthens the rapprochement between the two countries after the initial cold relationship between the executives. The Brazilian economist, who before baduming that Argentina would not be a "priority" for the leadership of Jair Bolsonaro, emphasized the similarities between the two governments. The Brazilian president will visit Buenos Aires on June 6th.

"I want to make it clear that we fully support the Minister (Nicolás Dujovne) and the President of Argentina (Mauricio Macri), who have our full support, President Bolsonaro very much identified Macri and myself with Minister Dujovne. It seems we knew each other 20 years ago, "said Guedes, pointing to the common ideological harmony that followed the meeting with Dujovne in Rio de Janeiro. The support of the Bolsonaro government is not limited to the austerity program put in place to try to control the persistent financial upheavals. Sympathy extends to structural reforms: both governments promote trade liberalization and pledge to implement pension reforms, seeking to reduce budget spending by restricting the scope of social security in both countries . Guedes joined the Bolsonaro campaign team to get closer to the one who then won the presidency, the sympathy of the entrepreneurial power.

During the meeting, economists have advanced in the joint strategy to end the free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union. The governments of both countries agree on the need to remove the protective barriers provided by the regional bloc. "We are partners, we are brother countries and we are coordinating the final details for future negotiations with the European Union," said Dujovne.
