Victoria Tolosa Paz: "Peronism has ceased to represent many sectors."

Victoria Tolosa Paz acknowledged that Peronism has ceased to represent productive sectors and workers in Argentina. Peronism is undergoing a period of internal review in Argentina, against the backdrop of Javier Milei's recent consolidation in government and the redefinition of the opposition landscape. Victoria Tolosa Paz, a national deputy, analyzed the current situation and the challenges facing her political space in an interview with Infobae al Amanecer, where she emphasized the need for a deep debate about the direction of Peronism and the role it must play to once again represent the productive and social sectors of the country. "There is a search and a need to debate what Peronism represents in the face of this present and future," the official explained. In this regard, she emphasized that the results of the recent midterm elections positioned Peronism as the "main opposition force," but, in her words, "for many of us, we have the responsibility to move beyond being purely oppositional and become a national alternative to the present and to the government of Javier Milei." The deputy emphasized that several sectors of Peronism advocate for a deeper discussion about the political, economic, and social direction: "There is a wide-ranging debate on economic, political, and social issues. How are we going to represent the sectors that we have stopped representing, and how are we going to build an alternative that seeks something central that this government does not seek, which is to solve the problems of Argentina?" Tolosa Paz admitted the loss of representation, by Peronism, of some traditional sectors: "Peronism has ceased to represent many sectors. We have moved away from representing the productive sectors, which are perhaps the phenomenon that interests us most. How have we stopped representing those who invest in Argentina, develop value chains, and create jobs?" Peronism seeks to rebuild ties with social and productive sectors to once again be an alternative. She added that those with jobs have also seen a loss or reduction in their purchasing power, leading to significant debt through virtual wallets and the financial system. In response to questions about possible solutions, Tolosa Paz emphasized: "We need an economic plan that is sustainable, an economic plan that not only protects the macroeconomy as this government does, but also addresses the problems of Argentina and improves the living conditions." She affirmed: "Those of us who do politics have a vocation to make our people live, to live a little better every day, and to achieve, for the first time in the Argentine Republic, a political agreement that implies a structure of policies that are unchangeable."
