“If one thing is clear from history, it is that the true objective of the Fund is condition the economic policy of our countryof the countries, to be able to subordinate ourselves to the interests of theirs,” the legislators affirmed in the statement.
The national deputies also recalled that in 2005, during the government of Nestor Kirchner“the entire debt with the IMF was paid” and they argued that this fact “allowed them to get rid of this conditioning by gaining economic independence and sovereignty.”
“There came moments of economic recovery, social justice and expansion of rights,” they stressed and affirmed that “under no point of view do we believe that the Fund has any type of intention other than the previous ones.”
For legislators, “it is essential reaffirm with strong sovereign conviction that our country comes first and that the debt is with our people” and they maintained that “the priorities of the Argentine economy today must be national production and job creation, responding to hunger, poverty, unemployment and the great emergencies that we have.”
Also, they considered that “The political opposition, which contracted this debt, and the sepoy economic power, do not stop attacking the government to condition it in the negotiation in favor of foreign interests” and they warned that “for this they use all the resources they have and distribute lies of chaotic scenarios without any responsibility.”
