President Alberto Fernández responded this Thursday afternoon through the networks tohe latest statements made by former president Mauricio Macri, in relation to the indebtedness in which our country is. “It is time to ask Macri to stop lying,” he said.
“It is very painful to listen to former President Macri trying to justify what he did by putting Argentina into debt – the message began -. It is very painful because the lie once again peeks out of his mouth. In fact, Macri got us into debt with private creditors and the day the private creditors told him that they were not going to lend him more money because they were afraid not to collect, that same day ran to the International Monetary Fund to ask for more money for the sole purpose of being able to pay creditors.
Those creditors that Macri wanted to pay had always known that they were running a huge risk. And what Macri did was take the risk out of those creditors and put all the risk on the backs of Argentines and Argentines “.
“(Macri) He says ‘we received the money because the creditors wanted to leave the country because they feared who could win the elections’, but he took that credit with the IMF only five months after having won an election in 2017. What he says is a lie. Of the 44 billion dollars it ended up receiving from the IMF, around 21 billion was returned to creditors who wanted to leave the country. AND After he lost the Paso in 2019, he ordered the Central Bank to return all the foreign currency that was needed so that the rest of the creditors could escape. “
“This is how the most magnificent money flight that Argentina remembers took place. Between August and October, the general elections of that 2019 took place. 23 billion dollars escaped with the complacency of Mauricio Macri“.
“We negotiate the debt with private creditors and allow Argentina to save almost 38 billion dollars of the original debt that Macri left us. We are negotiating the debt with the International Monetary Fund with dignity, trying to reach an agreement that allows us to pay, but not at the expense of Argentine hunger. “
“Macri’s indebtedness meant for Argentina a worse public education, a worse public health and the total abandonment of science and technology. 70% of the public works were paralyzed. “
“It is time to ask Macri to stop lying. He has already done a lot, a lot of damage, that he does not continue to steal hope from the Argentines. Once he caused the country’s economy to end up destroyed and with his attitudes and policies he left to Argentina on the knee. It’s time we put her on her feet“.
It is very painful to listen to former President Macri trying to justify what he did by putting Argentina into debt. He left her on her knees and we are putting her on her feet. Let’s move forward so as not to go back. ??❤️ pic.twitter.com/rEJJO1egSi
