00:00 And we were looking to the last minutes of the third topic of this evening in the Argentina's
00:05 presidential debate.
00:07 We are joined by MartÃn Martinelli.
00:09 We were analyzing this debate before it began.
00:11 MartÃn, how did you see these first three topics?
00:14 The candidates were talking about the economy, external relations and health and education.
00:19 What do you think are the highlights of this first part?
00:22 He talks about security with a person like Vicharroel who seeks to vindicate the Argentine
00:32 military process, one of the bloodiest in Argentine history, which is the basis of the
00:37 several of Argentine's economic problems.
00:41 We are facing a fascist liberal who wants to destroy the Argentine state and talks about
00:48 the free world with the United States, England and Israel, countries that generate wars and
00:55 are imperialist.
00:56 Israel is massacring Palestinians with the support of the United States.
01:04 The fact that there are problems in Argentina does not even remotely mean that Milay and
01:11 the policies it seeks to promote can solve anything.
01:16 On the contrary, they would make it worse.
01:20 Milay wants to prevent this and that affects the poorest half of the population and prevents
01:26 upward mobility in the population.
01:29 Milay and his policies defend the elite 10 or 15% of the population.
01:36 He goes against the majority, the opposition.
01:40 It's crazy that a character like that can be chosen.
01:44 He must do everything possible so that he is defeated.
01:50 Milay thinks he is an impressive devil no matter how you look at it.
01:56 She's a media clone who contradicts herself all the time, one contradiction after another.
02:04 Like when she said that he was against the political case and he will barrage and mock
02:12 the next moment.
02:14 I insist that Milay should not.
02:16 He cannot, he does not deserve to be president of Argentina.
02:21 He's a product of the big corporate media and emblazoned.
02:26 It tries to explain from Argentina history, but what it does not say is that inequality
02:34 is due to the great concentration first of land and then of wealth.
02:39 So the supposed solutions they propose are not such.
02:43 Argentina's main problem is inflation without a doubt and the dual currency with the dollar
02:51 acquiring initial importance.
02:54 MASA is the only possible option at this point.
02:58 It is a situation with tremendous inflation, but convertibility has already been proven
03:05 to have generated the disaster of 2001.
03:09 Milay's proposal, which tries to boast of knowing about economics, defending the most
03:17 unequal system, generating more inequality, more deregulation, decreasing the influence
03:23 of the state, is what we tell in a country like Argentina that seeks to recover its economy.
03:31 Milay is an unbalanced person who saw attention in the media.
03:36 He's a media clown.
03:39 It is obvious that it needs to generate more jobs, more industrialization, and take advantage
03:47 of the world it has in its soul and the world in human resources.
03:54 This is a transcendent and historic change now and 2024 because Argentina takes this
04:07 step introducing into the BRICS plus with Brazil, Russia, South Africa, China, India,
04:17 Iran, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, new possibilities of relationship and exchange will open up
04:29 at the symbolic level, but more than anything at a geostrategic, geopolitical, and geoeconomic
04:36 level, with the possibility of balancing the world, working in several ways, given that
04:43 with unipolarity or even with the greater Western dominance of world.
04:51 Economical and financial organizations like International Monetary Fund, who caused the
05:00 worst crisis in Argentine history.
05:05 So Milay is not an option to be a president of Argentina and Masa is the unique option
05:16 to government in that country.
05:23 Martin, the reading was very clear.
05:26 We thank you for joining us at Latin American Votes this evening.
05:29 That was Martin Martinelli, social scientist, PhD, historian and activist.
05:35 Thank you, Martin, for joining us.
