Jorge Todesca today highlighted the “absolute independence” of INDEC under the management of Mauricio Macri, but questioned in case Alberto Fernández “could respect” the process of recovering public statistics.
“I find it hard to be confident that the independence with which this process unfolded could eventually be respected in the future,” the agency’s director said in a bizarre press release released by the official account.
“It has been the political will of the president, in fierce defense of truth and transparency, that paved the way with his support for the recovery of institutional credibility and the reconstruction of statistical infrastructure”
Todesca questioned election promises of independence “when they come from those from the highest government functions, have witnessed passive or direct actors of the deep institutional rant that took place between 2006 and 2015. The economist was praised by Fernandez days ago and his daughter, Cecilia, is one of the main leaders of the Front of All and participated in meetings with the International Monetary Fund and Hernán Lacunza.Todesca emphasized that “the leadership of the President of the Nation, Mauritius Macri, has guaranteed in recent years the absolute independence of INDEC and the full recovery of the statistics service”.
