Bloomberg Interview with Milei on Currency Controls, Subsidies and China

[NeoWonk]

The Neoliberal Bastion of Bloomberg interviewed President Milei:

At 9:00: Milei says he's presenting a bill that those doing money printing will be sent to jail. Could that ever happen in Argentina???
10:00: Dollarization will just be the absence of money printing
10:30: the smug neoliberal Bloomberg interviewer says that the IMF says Milei must align the official rate with the market rate. It's incredible, that the neoliberals at the IMF had 20 years to require Argentina to normalize their exchange rates and now they decided to do something... Incredible ...

Did you lose your sig?

Instead of Milie answering the first yes/no question, he rambled on for 8 minutes before the interviewer finally cut him off to ask the same question again. They finally summarized that first question in the follow-up text: He deflected repeated questions about a specific timeline for floating the currency and denied any plans to accelerate the peso’s gradual depreciation, known as the crawling peg.

Here is bloomberg‘s summary of the interview.

 

[Ries]

He says a lot of things. But since he has no party, no team beyond the casta, no experience, and is unable to navigate governing, most of it is just talk.
Here, for example, he calls Macri's term "savage populism"..
