“The difficult thing is that they have put us back into the Fund through the window,” he said Axel Kicillof to refer to the current economic issue. Coinciding with the Unión por la Patria speech, the Buenos Aires governor charged against the IMF when announcements of an agreement are expected, one to which the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, may not put his face or signature, to avoid reproaches from the internal front and harmful effects on his presidential campaign.
“The Fund always asks to devalue and this has effects on prices, raising the interest rate then the financing of companies and costs become more expensive. That is a difficulty, I think the minister Sergio Massa He is giving this fight, because the first paper that they put forward is not signed. I think that is to be valued,” said the former Minister of Economy and current governor.
“Our opposition is to blame for having brought the Fund, Macri dedicated the first two years of government to taking debt in dollars on Wall Street. They lowered the blind on Wall Street and he had to run to the Fund, he obtained the largest loan in the Fund’s history and now we have an immense debt that also tries to condition the country’s public policies, the country’s politics, with recipes that are inflationary,” said Kicillof, blaming the IMF and Juntos por el Cambio for the rise in prices and devaluation.
“They always want devaluationbecause that makes the dollar more expensive, then it makes it more available for financial service and adjustment so that the State has resources to be able to use those dollars to pay the debt,” added the governor, blaming the opposition for the ills of the current economy, one that will surely weigh heavily when it comes to casting a vote in August.
The governor of the province of Buenos Aires understands that the Buenos Aires election will be defined by narrow margin, even for a vote in the generals as stipulated by the provincial constitution, and that cannot be trusted even though most of the polls give it above. And for this it needs the traction of the mayors and the militancy.
“We need the mayors recontra assets for the campaign, here in the Province, even those who are working in a district that is not governed by Unión por la Patria, at the leadership and organizational level the campaign was launched very strongly ”, Kicillof harangued his own. And he called to look at the Spanish case, where the socialism of the PSOE surprised last Sunday by pairing with the center-right PP, which the polls gave as a sure winner.
“Looking results from there in Spain, some leader from there recently heard that the right wing wanted to make the citizens and militants believe that it was their turn and that they had already won,” said the governor, who matched the case with the local one: “If one sees what happened with Larreta, six months ago they already acted as if the election did not need to be held because they had already won it. It also reminds me of 2019, where the macrismo after governing horribly for four years, they had been saying that the election was easily won, that they were going to govern twenty years and that Vidal won with a great difference ”.
“There is an effect of that speech, which generates a climate of inevitability and mobilization that must be avoided at all costs, especially understanding what is at stake. We must not leave for October what has to be done in August”, Kicillof stated in dialogue with Raúl Kollmann on Radio10.
“The strong difference with the 2015 campaign, the proposal of Vidal sounded more attractive than what we are hearing from their candidates. They have already governed the province, no candidate brings a substantial improvement over what they have already done- They don’t even have good numbers to show, they have no success, not even in the drug issue. Their management was very bad., there were even shootings between the federal and Buenos Aires forces. The management was terrible”, added the governor, understanding that the current economic management can play against it.
