Mauricio Macri

"I understand that many of the decisions I have taken are not so easy for many people."

"If there were any alternative to increasing tariffs, I would have taken it, but there is not."

"My concern is making things work. It is what my people need."

"I promised to tell people the truth. I don’t believe in messianic leaderships but in teamwork."

"It is not so easy to [rebalance] an economy after a decade of lies. They were taking Argentina towards the same kind of problems that Venezuela is facing now."

"Things cannot change in just seven months, but every day we improve a little bit more."

"We want to be part of the world, part of the future, part of the solution."

"I can’t understand how people can say they [Maduro's Venezuela] are practising democracy — that’s not democracy."

"This shows a different Argentina. There is a new generation in politics that wants to be part of the 21st century."
