Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner compared the current economic crisis with those of 1989 and 2001 and accused the International Monetary Fund of having put “a gun to the head” of Argentina.
Although he said that the current “is not the same country as in 2001”, he warned that “the same story is repeating itself” with the “brutal indebtedness” that the country has with the IMF.
On the other hand, he considered that “paying the IMF” in 2005 by the government of Néstor Kirchner was “the most pragmatic act that a president has taken in Argentine history”, because in this way “Argentina recovers the helm of its economy”.
“It is not the same country as in 2001, we had double-digit unemployment, the AUH did not exist, there was hunger, but the same story is repeating itself,” said Cristina from Río Gallegos, where she inaugurated the expansion of the Río Gallegos Regional Hospital accompanied by the governor of Santa Cruz, Alicia Kirchner and the national minister of Works, Gabriel Katopodis.
“What happened in 1989 happens 12 years later, in 2001, and is now going through the brutal private debt and what happened later with the arrival of the IMF. There are provinces that have 98% of their debt in dollars,” detailed the vice president
