The senator Martin Lousteau criticized the president’s management Javier Miley in the midst of the dengue outbreak that is going through the country, where it is increasingly difficult to find repellents.
The head of the Radical Civic Union expressed himself through the social network big and deformed is a problem, but falling into the trap of the minimal state like the one Milei likes
It’s not the solution either.”
In that sense, he maintained that “the dengue outbreak in Argentina is getting worse and the lack of repellents is a growing concern. But why this shortage? Why doesn’t the government open imports as it did with other products? In large part, it is due to a market problem. For Hayek, one of the attributes of the market is its ability to aggregate hundreds of thousands of individual pieces of information efficiently. And transmit it quickly. That’s true. But is it always like that?” .
According to Lousteau, “the government’s inaction made each businessman obtain the information late. Now it is no longer available: increasing production or importing takes time and the cold is coming. Thus, the solution would only arrive when the dengue is gone. For “That, while we have more than 150,000 infected and almost 130 dead, in Mercado Libre the best-known aerosol repellent costs 16,000 pesos in its 60g container.”
“This is just a case where a good State has more information available faster than the market. And it can help coordinate responses if it makes decisions or shares the information in time. It is called public health policy. But this government does not think like that “That everyone has to manage to combat dengue is one more failure of the president and a health minister whose face we do not know,” he concluded.
