Cristina Kichner and Axel Kicillo They held a meeting in the Senate on Wednesday in which they analyzed the direction of the negotiation with the International Monetary Fund.
The Buenos Aires governor had briefly received President Alberto Fernández in his office in La Plata, before the president closes a plenary session organized by the Peronist University Youth (JUP) in the provincial capital. Kicillof then moved to the National Congress where he met with the vice president.
Neither CFK nor the governor want Argentina to fall into default, but official sources confided to Infobaeboth also agree that the Minister of Economy, Martin Guzman -who receives direct instructions from Alberto Fernández- must be tougher in the negotiation with the staff of the IMF.
The vice president has not yet made public expressions due to the understanding reached by the national government with the multilateral credit organization for the payment plan of more than 44 million dollars that the country must face before commitments assumed during the management of Mauricio Macri. The President and his economic team with Guzmán at the head talk regarding a possible agreement. In the ruling party, the positions are clear: the resignation of Maximo Kirchner to the leadership of the block of the Front of All in Deputies marked the course of La Cámpora and Christianity. As a counterweight, the albertismo embodied by national ministers and legislators came out to support the announcement led by Guzmán; whom Máximo Kirchner himself holds responsible for the nature of the negotiation carried out with the international organization
First of all, Kicillof’s position was to hold the opposition responsible for the level of indebtedness taken during the 2016-2019 period. And he said that the agreement with the Fund “avoids a catastrophe.” Then got on the plane on the presidential tour by Russia, China and Barbados together with the president. Before traveling, despite the fact that he had already said yes, he spoke with the vice president.
In addition to the negotiation with the IMF, at Wednesday’s meeting between Cristina Kirchner and Kicillof they discussed the economic situation and the management of Buenos Aires.
The relationship between the vice president and the governor became solid once more. CFK continues to consult him on issues of macro and micro economy.
This Wednesday a good part of the political agenda moved to La Plata. Kicillof led meetings with the block of senators and provincial deputies of the Front of All. He had to withdraw from the last one before the end because Alberto Fernández was entering the Buenos Aires government through one of the side gates.
The President and the Governor They reviewed the closure of the teaching parity and the start of classes, with expectations for the carnival weekend. They believe another record will be broken. Crossed by the negotiation with the Fund, the President once more expressed his confidence that the agreement is approved in Congress.
