President Alberto Fernández commented that his predecessor in office, Mauricio Macri, “has very little capacity to understand the damage it has caused,” while again questioning the loan made with the International Monetary Fund, which he understands is “meaningless.” “I don’t like to talk about him very much; there are so many crazy things that he says doesn’t make sense,” Fernandez said in dialogue with C5N. The national head of state ruled in these terms in relation to expressions by Mauricio Macri that if Juan Domingo Perón lived he would “score” in the together for change bloc.

“It also has very little capacity to understand the damage it has caused,” he summed up over the founder of the PRO. Similarly, the president criticized Macri’s decision to have applied for a mega loan from the IMF, considering that it “makes no sense” that Macri “has lent such money to a country that was in default at the time, to be returned in such a short time.” It is reasonable to understand that the less time we have to pay, the higher the fees, and the longer we have the more we can dilute the weight of those payments,” Fernandez said.

He called for it to be a “global” measure and to “benefit middle-income countries like Argentina,” which is “in limbo” because, he said, “poor countries receive aid and the rich manage the two.” Those of us in the middle are treated like rich but we’re closer to being poor,” Fernandez closed.
The representative met at the Residence of Olives with references of social movements to assess the impact of the pandemic and the social situation in the popular neighborhoods. The meeting was attended by the national coordinator of Somos- Barrios de Pie, Daniel Menéndez; the deputy of the Front of All and leader of the Classic and Combative Current (CCC), Juan Carlos Alderete; and the president of the Federation of Evita Labour Cooperatives, Gildo Onorato.
