Overview
- Cavallo, who posted a rebuttal and the full interview video on his blog Thursday, said his remarks were misread and urged President Milei to watch the exchange.
- In the interview, he pressed for a fully free foreign‑exchange market for companies to lower Argentina’s country risk and called for clear rules on money and exchange policy.
- He labeled Economy Minister Luis Caputo a trader without a guiding theory and contrasted him with deregulation minister Federico Sturzenegger, saying he echoed descriptions Milei had used.
- Milei fired back on X by tying Cavallo to past measures such as the Plan Bonex, forced AFJP loans, the 2001 bank deposit freeze known as the corralito, a VAT hike, the cheque tax, and the nationalization of private debt.
- Caputo accused Cavallo of resentment and blamed him for the corralito and cheque tax, while no policy shift has been announced and the fight remains a public war of words that revives memories of crisis-era rules that hurt savers.
