A minister from Bolsonaro waves the ghost of Argen …

Paulo Guedes, Minister of the ultra-liberal economy of Jair Bolsonaro, discussed his ambitious pension reform and said that if this project is not approved, the fate of his project will be truncated and will look like that of Argentina.

"This is the diagnosis: in the short term, we can become an Argentina with an inflation of 30 to 40. In the medium term, before the end of the government, a Venezuela facing shortages, high inflation, a dollar explosion, zero investment, high unemployment, salary delays, payment arrears to retirees and pensioners, "Guedes said.

The Brazilian minister went further and badured that his country "has today a black cloud", that "in Argentina it is already a storm and that in Venezuela it is a hurricane, "he said at the same time in the magazine Veja. Pension reform, which interferes so closely, says that if he is not approved, he will step down. "Brazil is on fire and can go bankrupt in 2020," he added.

Guedes, an Orthodox, claims that the pension system is one of the causes of the budget deficit in Brazil and that it increases every year. The expected adjustment is in the order of $ 200 billion for the next ten years.

At the beginning of his term, Guesdes said, in accordance with Bolsonaro, that for Brazil the relations with Argentina and Mercosur were not a "priority". He apologized, although he had a strange recognition in speaking of the free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union. "Everything is settled, the Argentineans have given everything and the Europeans too."

Just over a month ago, Guedes praised Mauricio Macri's government and launched loas for his partner Nicolás Dujovne. After a meeting with the Finance Minister, Guedes said: "We fully support" the government of Cambiemos and did not hesitate to say that he had an "affinity" with his colleague. At the same time, Bolspnaro had said that Argentina could become "another Venezuela" if Kirchnerism's return to power was consummated.
