After a weekend of unity in Peronism behind the figure of Cristina Kirchner and the defense of the space to the vice president, accused in the Road Case, a new conflict seems to reopen the internal one.
yesterday the journalist Horace Verbitskyrelated to Kirchnerism, published in his media “El Cohete a la Luna”, an article entitled “An indigestible lunch”. In it he disseminated a document, attributed to the Vice Minister of Economy Gabriel Rubenstein, detailing a plan to devalue the peso allowing a 50% rise in the official dollar by Thursday of this week.
“The catalog of employer claims is contained in the Confidential Stabilization Plan that Gabriel Rubinstein elaborated in July, and that explains much more than his puerile insults on antisocial networks the discomfort at his appointment as chief economist in Minister Sergio Massa’s team”, reads the note that Verbitsky firm.
The paper included the objectives of eliminating the fiscal deficit and exchange rate splitting. This report is dated July 26, that is, before Serge Massa was appointed minister. Verbitsky called the deputy minister’s plan a “catalogue of the bosses’ demands,” saying that it explains “the discomfort over his appointment as chief economist in Minister Sergio Massa’s team.”
the economic consultant Fernando Marulwho had been in the Undersecretariat for Macroeconomic Programming in the management of Nicholas Dujovne, spread the plan on his Twitter account. And in the environment of the Minister of Economy, Serge Massa, point out that he would be filing a criminal complaint for “economic terrorism” against Marull. “He goes against Marull because they identified him as the version of devaluation that came out of him,” they clarify in the massista circle. The reactions in networks were immediate.
Hahaha, you have to take them in joda if it weren’t because they push themselves with complaints. Verbitsky quoted it and UPLOADED IT ON SCRIBD https://t.co/3IeLA0osTd Here is the note of the dog that barks but no longer bites https://t.co/p9drkNsML0

Cristina sends Verbitsky to operate on Massa, leaking the (supposed) adjustment plan of his vice Rubinstein.
When they tell you “now all Peronism is united behind the same cause” they refer only to Cristina’s criminal cases. https://t.co/VrXpNGVsAP

Verbitsky operates Massa by publishing an alleged Rubinstein document. @FernandoMarull comment on the content of the document. Massa denounces @FernandoMarull because he doesn’t get excited about Verbitsky, who is Cristina. LPO tweets without reading Verbitsky’s note. In short, Kirchnerism. https://t.co/9hbsBTR48a

The plan attributed to Rubinstein would consist of eliminate the fiscal deficit in a “credible” way; an exchange rate split and a 50% devaluation of the official dollar, which would take it to $200 from September 1st.
According to the text, Massa’s number two would propose to keep the exchange rate fixed until March 2023 to then index it from April. Adding up a 100% rate increaseplus a salary indexation among other measures, the inflation measured by the Indec would progressively drop until settling at 0.4% in March.
Rubinstein had to go out deny the rumors by means of an audio on the rise of the official dollar. “Based on things that are appearing on Twitter, that on Thursday there is going to be a devaluation for something that I could have thought. I assure you 100% that there will be no devaluation, at least not this Thursday”, marked the official.
“Anything that one can think about, that they can imagine that I am in favor of a fiscal surplus, a zero deficit and exchange rate unification, at some point in time… this government or the next government, if you tell me , I cI am clearly on that line but that has nothing to do with making an imminent devaluation”, he added.
