Bordón and Malamud Reset Argentina’s Argument: Peronist Renewal, Two-Bloc Politics, Milei’s Jobs Test

Their interviews point to converting any economic recovery into real employment as the decisive measure of the government.

Overview

  • Former governor and ex-ambassador José Octavio Bordón urges a genuine Justicialist renewal grounded in institutional limits, non-personalist leadership and sustained dialogue.
  • Bordón contrasts Carlos Menem’s balanced foreign policy with what he describes as Milei’s alignment with Trump and Israel, warning of weak engagement with neighbors such as Chile and Brazil.
  • Political scientist Andrés Malamud argues Argentina remains sociologically split between peronists and non-peronists, leaving little room for a durable third force.
  • Malamud says the government’s central test over the next two years is turning growth into jobs, noting unemployment around 7%–8% and cautioning that weak growth risks job losses.
  • He contends the Radical Party has lost national relevance—especially in Buenos Aires province—and describes Alfredo Cornejo as a capable Mendoza leader constrained by provincial term limits.
