In this regard, Villarruel clarified that this would not be one of the first projects that they would send if they reach the Government, since “it is an issue that has an urgency that is not imminent, considering that the economy is totally exorbitant, and that leads to no “You can neither trade nor live, and there is also no security.”

“Our teams are made up of people who never entered political activity, but who are bosses in their areas. How are we not going to open the spectrum to people who know about matters in which those who supposedly know, who are the Kirchnerists, in 16 years left this country on the brink of a war, little less.”
