“I am a Peronist. I am growing the branches of progressive Peronist liberalism.”
“Capitalism can't exist without demand.”
“A state should protect citizens in general and women in particular. And in the 21st Century, every society needs to respect the individual choice of its members to decide freely about their bodies.”

“Stop trusting neo-liberal theories, and realize what happens when neo-liberals take over.”
“Macri lost $100 billion. Argentina needs dollars to come back in.”
“I am not against oil multinationals. What I am saying is that you end up going to them when you are not able to develop your own technology to extract oil.”
“We are not socialists, we are Peronists. We are pragmatic.”
