Far from criticism from industrialists, Peter Lamelas backed Milei's economic plan: He is making courageous decisions

On August 2, during the Day of Industry, Peter Lamelas publicly supported President Javier Milei’s economic policies, emphasizing his efforts to open up the economy, attract investments, and restore predictability. This stance contrasted sharply with strong criticisms from industrial leaders and local representatives who warned that the manufacturing industry is facing significant difficulties and called for specific policies to sustain production and employment. The Union Industrial Argentina (UIA), which celebrated the Day of Industry, expressed concerns over factory closures, declining activity, and tensions around imports under Milei’s administration. While some UIA members, like Guillermo Moretti, criticized Milei’s lack of understanding of the country and the industrial sector, others, such as Martín Rappallini, urged for a more balanced approach that considers both inflation and overall economic activity. Elio Del Re echoed these sentiments, stressing that stabilizing macroeconomic conditions alone would not be sufficient to address the challenges faced by the industry.

Industry celebrates its day without Milei: paralyzed factories, falling activity and import stress

On September 2, Argentine businesses celebrated Industry Day without the presence of President Javier Milei, amid tense relations between the government and industrialists. The Union Industrial Argentina (UIA) held an event at Laboratorios Elea in Los Polvorines, where many factories are operating below half their capacity, signaling a sector-wide decline exceeding 2%. Over 3,000 companies have ceased operations. The UIA did not receive an official response from the government regarding Milei’s absence, and the event was not streamed online. Government representatives, including Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli and Production Secretary Pablo Lavigne, attended but did not include President Milei, who instead participated in a separate international forum promoting liberal economic policies. The UIA used the occasion to emphasize the need for an Argentina focused on production, investment, employment, and self-sufficiency. Sectors like steel, textiles, tires, and metallurgy face challenges due to increased import competition, particularly from China.
