Macri hopes the Government to lower the level of confrontation

Buenos Aires, November 1, 2010.- Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri said on the eve of the public reappearance of President Cristina Fernandez, that he hopes the government “to lower its level of confrontation” after the death of former president Néstor Kirchner.

“We hope that [the President] changes. Lowering the level of confrontation, recreating dialogue and trying to work together, all the opportunities in Argentina is going to happen,” Macri said in statements to the press.

Macri remains critical to the Kirchner administration, because he claims to be “consistent.” “I’m still critical although the ruling leader has died. I still think that Argentina has a huge opportunity ahead if the government changes and it low levels of confrontation,” he said.

On the other hand, the official spoke about the importance of international relations. “We have to stop fighting, get along with the world. We need to be close to Brazil which is the locomotive of the region,” Macri said.

Finally, he did not give an opinion with respect to Peronism. “To comment on parties to which I do not belong is a lack of respect.”
