Corrientes – Corrientes continues to pay attention to economic debates and political developments in the interior, but today Corrientes has become a center of liberal thought with the new edition of the Regional Economic Council. Freedom Club Foundation. The conference, held on the outskirts of the capital, will attract more than 40 speakers from around the world and conclude with a press conference from the president. Javier Millaywill speak at 7 p.m. Regarding “Challenges of Economic Growth”.
The tournament officially opened with the following words from the club president and his friend: Alberto Medina Mendezgave an institutional welcome that endorsed the forum’s brief as a forum to discuss reform, federalism, and economic freedom from the experiences and perspectives of state civil society organizations.
In the morning, the first panel featured regional readings with speakers from political and business leaders from across Venezuela, Paraguay, and Argentina.
The afternoon program will include a video conference between the two from the United States. Economist Sebastian Galliani prepared a presentation on “Challenges of Economic Growth,” while Professor Maria Eugenia Muniaglia of the University of Wisconsin-Madison similarly analyzed “The Link between Statistics and Data.”
Afterwards, one of the highlights of the day will be the panel discussion “Economic Program with Three Anchors” led by Federico Friase (BCRA) and Felipe Nuñez (BICE), where topics such as inflation, exchange rates and financing forecasts will be discussed.
The political end of the event was replaced by Millay, who returned to Corrientes after a visit to Corrientes in February 2024, and by attending the institution’s founding ceremony, Millay paid a kind of recompense for the years when the club summoned him to carry out the Kulturkampf, a concept at the time that did not have the symbolic or effective weight it does today.
His presence, memorable for the tone of gratitude for the space he had with him before his arrival at Casa Rosada, marked the beginning of the organization’s fluid relationship with the local leadership, which slowly began to cross ideological lines and enter the political arena with some of its subordinates. In fact, one of the directors, Ricardo Leconte (h), was elected to the state assembly. Almost the only Libertarian success in August’s state elections was the election of Juan Pablo Valdés as governor, relegating candidates Karina Milay and Martín Menem to a lackluster fourth position, still National Congressman Lisandro Almiron.
This time, the president returned to the same scenario with the hope of legitimizing his position, winning the October parliamentary elections (which was enough to appoint Virginia Gallardo as national representative in Corrientes), and leaving an economic message that would also be read in the political keys.
While businessmen, officials, and leaders from around the region tour the halls of Espacio Andes, the conference is cementing its place as one of Argentina’s major forums for liberalism. What happens on stage is only part of the script. In informal and parallel meetings, support is negotiated, contacts are made, and resistance to federalism is tested in real time.
Corrientes suddenly becomes a realm where ideas and politics are rigorously evaluated.
Millay is expected to arrive in the state around 6:30 p.m. The day concludes with a speech that seeks to connect the epic of freedom with the realities of growth.
There will be no reception at the airport this time by Governor Gustavo Valdez, who is on a visit to India, where he will develop a 10-day agenda that will include meetings with business leaders, government officials and a multilateral trade and investment forum.
The official delegation was welcomed by the Deputy Governor in charge, Pedro Braillard-Pocal, and was accompanied by the Mayor of the Capital, Eduardo Tassano, who already attended the opening ceremony of Parliament this morning.
