Journalists Horacio Verbitsky y Jorge Fontevecchia together with the former Minister of the Interior Carlos Corachdebated the transition between the governments of Raul Alfonsin y Carlos Menemat the same time they analyzed the current political and electoral panorama, marked by the triumph of Javier Milei in the PASO elections.
The activity took place in the dome of the Kirchner Cultural Center (CCK) and featured an introductory reading by the philosopher Eduardo Rinesi and the moderation of the political scientist Diego Sztulwark. With Sztulwark, Daniel Tognetti and Camila Perochena, the talk was given in order to think about the dilemmas on the 40th anniversary of the return of democracy and the dissertation on the book “Presidential education”written by Verbitsky.
Alfonsín, Menem, Perón, Sarmiento, Rosas: the attacks on political leaders that marked history
“Presidential Education” It appeared before the Menem administration completed its first year and recounts those months of frenzy that began with the decline of Alfonsinism. “It is about thinking about how the great economic interests, internal and external, consolidated their positions of power and set the limits of the two great leaders of the UCR and the PJ,” Rinesi began by saying.
Verbitsky explained that at that time there was a threat of a new coup d’état and there was “fear of military return“, added to programs that were applied and came “from outside.” In that sense, he said that they were formed Temporary Business Unions (UTE), where a local creditor bank associated with an international operator of the service to be privatized, added to an economic group.
For his part, Corach was consulted by the pardons made by Menemwhich he defended, and stated that they were done “to generate national unity”, since the country “had a hard time with military interventions.”
Furthermore, he gave his point of view privatization policy of Menemism, which he related to “a natural emergent of the country’s economic situation and world events.” Regarding the management of the late former president, the former minister said: “There are people who crossed me on the street and told me why doesn’t Carlitos come back“.
Milei’s victory in the PASO
In another part of the talk, the CEO of Network Profile maintained that the founder of La Libertad Avanza “raises minarchism“, a minimum participation of the State in society, but that will have problems to carry out their ideas of Government due to legal limits. “There are sensitive issues such as co-participation and dollarization,” he added.
“The Supreme Court is not going to approve that,” said Fontevecchia, at the same time that he expressed about Milei’s performance ahead of the October elections: “The establishment is going to be in for a big surprise.”
However, the director of El Cohete a la Luna stated that he does not believe that the libertarian economist will be able to put his plans into practice. “I don’t believe too much in Milei’s speech, but It is important to see the teams you are formingwho are the ones who accompany him.”
Finally, he referred to the tribute to the victims of the attacks of guerrilla groups such as Montoneros and the People’s Revolutionary Army (ERP) that carried out Victorial Villarruel, Milei’s running mate. “What she proposes has no future, but it is significant that someone who has a chance of being vice president does it,” she concluded.
The debate was organized within the framework of the “Whale Project” cycle, a laboratory of ideas of the Centro Cultural Kirchnerand the activity can be viewed in the channel Youtube official of the organization.
