Germany and France "which have always moved Europe together for decades" must find joint solutions between politics and business, said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume at a prior event of the consortium ahead of the Paris fair that starts this Monday. Our plan For Europe (which they presented at the beginning of the month) does not detail what we lack but rather what we can build and improve. This means, among other things and according to Blume, that the criterion Made in Europe, the definition of which is being debated for the Industrial Acceleration Act (IAA), "should reward true value creation, not only the origin of components but also design, development, engineering, production, and employment." Industry and politics must go hand in hand. #Volkswagen #CochesEléctricos #UniónEuropea (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)
