Llaryora called to defend the industry, called for a level playing field
Governor Martín Llaryora of Córdoba emphasized the need for equal conditions for local producers during a launch event for a new Iveco truck model.
In a recent speech at Iveco, where a new truck model called the S-Way was officially launched, Córdoba Governor Martín Llaryora highlighted the necessity for equal competitive conditions for domestic producers in Argentina. He expressed concern over the ongoing debates regarding import regulations and their impact on the national industry, particularly in light of President Javier Milei's policies. Llaryora underlined that local industries deserve a fair chance to compete against imports, stressing that without these equal conditions, defending local jobs would be increasingly challenging.
The event not only marked the launch of a significant new product but also held deeper implications for the industrial landscape of Córdoba and Argentina. Llaryora's comments suggest a growing tension between local manufacturing capabilities and the broader economic policies spearheaded by the national government. The governor's assertion that national industries can thrive if provided with the right support echoes the sentiments of many in the local business community who view these policies as pivotal for job preservation and economic stability.
With the S-Way being produced in Córdoba, which is the only plant in Argentina dedicated to producing such trucks, the success of this model is crucial for the local supply chain. Maurício Querichelli, president of Iveco for Latin America, described the launch as "historic," indicating a significant milestone in their operations. Llaryora's push for fairness in trade practices will be key in determining the future competitiveness of Córdoba's manufacturing sector and could shape the ongoing discussions regarding import policies under President Milei’s administration.
