Argentina's New President Javier Milei Sets Bold Economic Agenda: 'There Is A Light At The End Of The Tunnel'
Javier Milei was sworn in as Argentina's new president on Sunday, with a promise of radical change for the nation's troubled economic landscape.
哈維爾·米萊週日宣誓就任阿根廷新總統,並承諾從根本上改變該國陷入困境的經濟格局。
With inflation soaring more than 140%, and amidst a backdrop of relentless economic and political turmoil, Milei's inaugural address was nothing short of disruptive, signaling a deep rupture with the immediate and historical precedents.
在通貨膨脹率飆升超過140%的情況下,在持續的經濟和政治動盪的背景下,米萊的就職演說簡直是顛覆性的,標誌着與當前和歷史先例的深刻決裂。
Acknowledging the hyperinflationary crisis he inherited, Milei painted a grim picture, projecting potential inflation rates reaching a staggering 15,000%, as local news outlet La Nacion revealed.
正如當地新聞媒體La Nacion透露的那樣,米萊承認自己繼承了惡性通貨膨脹危機,他描繪了一幅嚴峻的畫面,他預計潛在的通貨膨脹率將達到驚人的15,000%。
Despite enduring 12 years of stagflation, the ultra-libertarian president offered a glimmer of hope, assuring the public the catastrophe would only persist for a few more months due to his stringent fiscal policies.
儘管經歷了12年的滯脹,但這位極端自由主義總統還是帶來了一線希望,他向公衆保證,由於他嚴格的財政政策,這場災難只會再持續幾個月。
"There is light at the end of the tunnel," he enthused, emphasizing that this time the focus would be on cutting government spending rather than increasing revenues.
他熱情地說:“隧道盡頭有曙光。” 他強調說,這次的重點將是削減政府支出,而不是增加收入。
Manuel Adorni, the presidential spokesperson, revealed new Finance Minister Luis Andrés Caputo would soon announce economic measures, including a significant reduction in fiscal spending. Moreover, Milei has urgently ordered the removal of privileges, indicating a commitment to tightening the nation's belt.
總統發言人曼努埃爾·阿多尼透露,新任財政部長路易斯·安德烈斯·卡普託將很快宣佈經濟措施,包括大幅削減財政支出。此外,米萊已緊急下令取消特權,表示承諾收緊國家腰帶。
"I prefer to tell you an uncomfortable truth rather than a comfortable lie," Milei boldly declared in his first speech.
米萊在第一次演講中大膽地宣稱:“我寧願告訴你一個令人不安的事實,而不是一個舒適的謊言。”
President Milei swiftly unveiled his cabinet on social media, declaring, "¡Hay equipo!" (We have a team) and championing "Long live to freedom."
米萊總統迅速在社交媒體上宣佈了內閣的面紗,他宣稱:“¿Hay equipo!”(我們有一支團隊)並倡導 “自由萬歲”。
HAY EQUIPO...!!!

The strong presence of U.S. officials at Milei's inauguration, including key members of President Joe Biden's economic team, suggests a willingness from Washington to forge a positive relationship with the Argentine president, despite Milei's well-known affinity for Donald Trump.
儘管衆所周知,米萊與唐納德·特朗普有親和力,但包括喬·拜登總統經濟團隊的關鍵成員在內的美國官員積極出席了米萊的就職典禮,這表明華盛頓願意與阿根廷總統建立積極的關係。
