• He called for a labor overhaul to ease hiring and curb the so‑called industry of lawsuits, alongside a tax reform to lower burdens and raise competitiveness.
• He rejected recurrent devaluations, expansive money printing to spur demand, and regulations that force domestic tourism as viable tools.
