Argentina has decided to take its place in the global landscape. We need important companies of the world to finance and construct roads, ports, waterways, energy, trains. We're a huge country that only depends on trucks today. It's impossible.

I'm obsessed about lifting the greatest number of Argentines possible out of poverty as quickly as possible.

Haiti is in desperate poverty.

Argentina wants to have good ties with the entire world.

I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day, sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go .

This is not the Chile we want to build.

We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty.

We cannot afford to leave the poor behind.

Chile has done a lot to rid itself of poverty, especially extreme poverty, since the return to democracy. But we still have a ways to go toward greater equity. This country does not have a neoliberal economic model anymore. We have put in place a lot of policies that will ensure that economic growth goes hand in hand with social justice.
