UN General Assembly
2023

The desire for transformation and the work of our Government has focused precisely on transforming the development model to build more and better public goods, and on guaranteeing rights with fiscal responsibility, anchored in a basic premise: “for the common good, the poor must come first”. Our Government has demonstrated that it is urgent to restore the role of the State, to regulate the relations among the market, the State and society, and to implement transformative structural policies. The aim is to give our people hope again, the hope of a fairer, more egalitarian country so that no one is left behind and no one is left out. In that connection. 5.1 million people have been lifted out of poverty in recent years. We witnessed the largest increase in the minimum wage in our history and developed an elaborate network of social programmes that extend rights to the entire population. However, we aspire to a vision of equality among all nations, in which the gaps and asymmetries among countries are bridged. We are committed to eliminating the culture of privileges — privileges that deny rights.
