Alberto Fernández thanked López Obrador for his support in front of the IMF

President Alberto Fernández thanked this afternoon his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, for his support in the negotiations that Argentina is carrying out before the International Monetary Fund (IMF).” I thank the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, for his firm decision to support Argentina’s negotiation with the IMF,” Fernández posted on his Twitter account.

As my dear and respected president of Mexico has rightly said, the IMF must assume the responsibility it had in granting that record credit to the government of Mauricio Macri in order to benefit a government at an electoral time. — Alberto Fernández (@alferdez)

“As my dear and respected president of Mexico has said, the IMF must assume the responsibility it had in granting that record credit to the government of Mauricio Macri in order to benefit a government at an electoral time,” the president said. And he stressed that “as López Obrador affirms, it is necessary for the IMF to act with honesty and ethics, and not to demand greater efforts from the Argentine people from the many it has already been doing.”

López Obrador today called in Mexico “to the International Monetary Fund for the purpose of giving a fair treatment to Argentina.” And now they want the new government of Argentina to pay them immediately and they are imposing conditions on them that are completely unfair,” he warned later. In his morning message, López Obrador urged the IMF to “act responsibly” in the case of Argentina, and the same demanded of “foreign governments, which promoted these credits that should not have been granted.”

“If a country is in debt and an election is coming, and to save the government that wants to continue, they inject more resources, because there is a co-responsibility,” concluded the Aztec president.
