“With this agreement there is no adjustment,” the president emphasized when leading an act of handing over houses and credits in the city of Salta.

“In the Senate, the agreement that we signed with the Fund is being debated, a debt that we would not have taken but that Argentina took. I hear ideas that suggest that the obligations that Argentina took will mean adjustments. Where are the settings? If we are putting money so that people are educated, so that science and technology continue, so that houses are built… With this agreement there is no adjustment,” the president emphasized when leading an act of handing over houses and credits in the city of Salta.
With the agreement reached “there is no adjustment; adjustment we should have made if we had defaulted. There we did have no way out and no escape, “he insisted. That is why” I hope and trust that the Senate will support us with its vote and that we can take another step. Tomorrow we will have a clearer horizon in this matter, we will know that there is a problem that was not solved but is beginning to be solved” which is “that cursed debt that we inherited”.
Earlier, in her usual Thursday conference, the spokeswoman for the Presidency, Gabriela Cerrutti, also expressed her “deep” gratitude to the legislators who last week “allowed progress” to be made with the approval of the agreement with the IMF.
“We hope that the same thing that happened in Deputies will happen today in the Senate with the commitment of all the legislators who have found a way to reach agreements to advance on an issue that has to be State policy,” the official remarked. “It is a very important instance and we must remember that it is the first time that these debates are taking place in Congress, as it should be, because of a debt that commits several generations,” he added.
