In the framework of the 76th Ordinary General Assembly of the UN, Alberto Fernández will make a speech in which he will describe the loan granted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Argentina during the government of Mauricio Macri as “toxic and irresponsible”. In addition, the president will vindicate Argentine rights in the Malvinas and reiterate the call for international collaboration to clarify the attack against the AMIA, among other points. Around 5:00,000, the message that was outlined yesterday by the president during a meeting with the new foreign minister, Santiago Cafiero, will be issued.
The president will demand the need for a “reconfiguration” of the global financial architecture, within the framework of the role that the IMF has played in recent years in the world and in Argentina in particular. On this issue, he will raise the need for a solution to the problem of the debts of middle-income countries, by generating a “toxic and irresponsible” indebtedness with the IMF, such as the one registered in Argentina during the Macri administration.In addition, he will highlight the global impact of the pandemic, which brought to light the inequality and inequality that exists between the different countries, and that it is reflected not only in the production and distribution of vaccines against Covid-19, but also in its economic and social consequences. At that point, he will insist that it will be “fundamental” to concentrate efforts so that post-pandemic reconstruction is carried out in an equitable manner, and will emphasize that this scourge has also generated a human rights crisis, with the consequent generation of more inequality in terms of gender and discrimination against minorities.
In the face of this situation, it will call for renewed efforts and work to have more just, equitable and egalitarian societies. Fernández will address in his message the problems generated by climate change, as well as its consequences, and will again urge to assume the necessary commitment to address the threat it poses to the future, while making a detail of the commitments assumed by Argentina for the defense of the environment. Ultimately, the president will dedicate a chapter of his speech to reaffirm the inalienable rights of Argentine sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich and the surrounding maritime spaces.
