Macri criticized Fernández for “improvising” in his international relations

Former President Mauricio Macri said today that the statements of President Alberto Fernández in Russia about the United States are “risky” and can “jeopardize the agreement with the IMF.” It is not a time for improvisation,” the leader of Together for Change said in a post on his social networks.
In his message he said: “Yesterday, President Fernández made risky statements in front of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, which may alter the international position that Argentina has maintained for years, in addition to potentially jeopardizing the agreement not yet signed between Argentina and the IMF.”

The former president recalled Santiago Cafiero’s visit to Washington to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken to ask for political support from the Democratic administration with the IMF. We all know that you cannot at the same time ask for help and then declare rejection of those who are helping us. That is what Argentina did yesterday with the words of the President,” Macri added. >

He then referred to the possible armed conflict that has Ukraine as its epicenter, within the framework of Russian concern about NATO’s advance on Eastern Europe and said that it puts “world stability.” In his opinion, “international relations must be careful and respond to a coherent plan that extends over time, far beyond the duration of a government’s mandate.”
The phrase that aroused the criticism of Macri and other referents of Together for Change was: “I am adamant that Argentina has to leave that great dependence it has on the Fund and on the United States. And it has to make its way elsewhere. And that’s where it seems to me that Russia has a very important place.”
