Bullrich again warned about the pace of the recovery and called for broader tax relief
The senator voiced concern at Universidad de San Andrés about the speed at which the economic improvement is reaching the population. She also argued that tax cuts should not be limited to schemes such as the RIGI.
Patricia Bullrich again publicly took some distance over one aspect of the Government’s economic course and pointed to her concern about the speed at which the recovery is affecting everyday life. As reported by La Nación, the senator made those remarks during an appearance at Universidad de San Andrés.
In that context, Bullrich said she would prefer a broad-based tax reduction rather than one focused only on mechanisms such as the Régimen de Incentivos para Grandes Inversiones. She argued that many companies, industries, businesses and technology services still face difficulties competing because of the country’s high costs, La Nación reported.
The lawmaker also stressed that she is concerned that the changes are not moving at the pace society needs in order to feel that the effort made is producing a concrete result. At the same time, she acknowledged the macroeconomic progress of Javier Milei’s administration, although she underlined that those results still need to be reflected more clearly in families, SMEs and the day-to-day economy.
According to La Nación, Bullrich had already voiced similar observations in other public appearances, such as at the Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires and in meetings with SME business leaders. On those occasions, she backed the economic course but insisted on the need for the positive effects to accelerate in order to reach the population.
The remarks came one day after an appearance by Javier Milei at the Council of the America, where the President defended his economic program and rejected the need to introduce changes.
