Summary
“We decided to change this paradigm from one day to another, and in one month, we have cut our budget in 5 percent of the GDP. It’s historical ... The President declared that Argentina was in zero deficit.”
In this episode, I sit down with Argentina’s Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich. We dive into the radical changes her country has experienced since Javier Milei was elected President.
“We are deregulating the economy. We are simplifying the economy. We are going to do a huge process of privatization,” says Minister Bullrich. “We have a very huge state. We have to work to have less state, and more private business. That is very important for Argentina.”
What are the principles that the new government is operating on? What economic and security policies are being implemented? And what are the biggest threats currently facing the Argentine Republic?
“Our biggest issue is the new networks—the linking of criminal organizations with rogue states [such] as Iran, or criminal and terrorist organizations [such] as Hezbollah,” says Minister Bullrich. “Hezbollah—they are businessmen or businesswomen that are there in the city. But they take criminals of Brazil, or Paraguay, or Argentina, and they pay them. So they do the work. They do smuggling, they do narcotrafficking ... and they send the money to Hezbollah in Lebanon.”
