Nobel Prize winner for Literature Mario Vargas Llosa said that “Argentina is held hostage by a group of authoritarians led by Cristina Kirchner” and argued that the upcoming elections “should not only remove Kirchnerism from the government, but be the first step on a path of urgent and necessary reforms.”
The prestigious writer criticized the management of the Frente de Todos before his trip to Buenos Aires to participate in the “Freedom Dinner”, the event organized by the Libertad Foundation that will take place on May 9, and which will be attended by businessmen and political leaders from all over the country.
“Argentina is a total nonsense,” said Vargas Llosa. It has all the natural and human resources to be a leader in the economic sphere, but it remains hostage to a group of authoritarians, led by Cristina Kirchner, who keep the country in backwardness, inflation and poverty, waving an obsolete and frayed anti-capitalism,” a statement released by that civil organization.
He added: “I found it as sad as it was hard to believe that Argentines gave Kirchnerism another chance in 2019. The results, sadly, were expected. Argentina remains unchained on a reformist path and maintains the same hyperestatism that has marked its history in the 21st century.” The Peruvian writer referred to his personal bond with Argentina, considering that “it was always a country that was very dear to him”, since “as a child I looked at it with admiration for having defeated illiteracy and for having become a cultural and economic beacon”.
“Despite the regrettable present, I don't lose hope in Argentina. I believe that the upcoming elections should not only remove Kirchnerism from the government, but be the first step on a path of urgent and necessary reforms. Argentina cannot continue to be its worst enemy,” he concluded.
As on other occasions, the dinner organized by the Libertad Foundation, an entity chaired by Gerardo Bongiovanni, will be attended by businessmen and politicians from all over the country. According to the NGO, former President Mauricio Macri is one of the first to confirm his presence at an event that in its past editions brought together leaders such as Luis Lacalle Pou, Iván Duque, Sebastián Piñera, José María Aznar and Felipe González.
This year's “Freedom Dinner” comes on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the Libertad Foundation and at “an extremely difficult time for the country, as a result of avoiding to unusual levels the structural reforms that we so much need,” Bongiovanni explained, according to the press report.
