The Minister of Economy Serge Massaconfirmed this followingnoon that Gabriel Rubinstein will be your deputy minister. She did it through social networks. The economist had been vetoed by Kirchnerism, at least in private, for the tweets and criticism of the current government and above all, Vice President Cristina Kirchner.
Massa attributed the delay in the appointment to formal procedures and Rubinstein’s personal problems. The brand new Secretary of Economic Programming thanked Massa and he made reference to the “breadth” of the Government in accepting him in its ranks despite his critical gaze. And he apologized for his “aggravating” questions.
as published THE NATIONRubinstein was director of the Central Bank and until now he was the head of the consulting firm GRA (Gabriel Rubinstein y Asociados) and when he analyzed the landing of Sergio Massa in the cabinet, he stated that a “disorderly adjustment” was taking place in the country. He also said that the agreement with the IMF is “the only economic program that can be glimpsed.”
Los postings and criticism of Rubinstein had taken officialization in his position. With this appointment, Massa completes the team and is left with a little more strength towards the interior of the Front of All. It is assumed that Cristina Kirchner finished giving the endorsement for Rubinstein’s entry into the cabinet.
It is that the economist had used networks and harsh public statements once morest the vice and Kirchnerism, and those posts came to light when Massa, upon taking office, announced that he wanted him as Secretary of Economic Programming.
On Twitter, the economist had not only questioned the policies implemented by Cristina Kirchner during her terms as president, but also the direction of Alberto Fernández’s administration. In fact, he had retweeted questions to the Government from fervent opponents of the ruling party, such as Patricia Bullrich (Pro), José Luis Espert (Avanza Libertad) or the liberal economist Diana Mondino.
Rubinstein recently gave an interview to LN+ in which he made a critical assessment of the current economy. “Necessarily revisions will have to be made because there are things that are going to be outdated. In any case, the program with the IMF seems to be the only economic program that one can glimpse. It is a plan with a certain degree of consistency that would allow inflation not to go completely out of control, because there is a path of lowering the deficit and lowering the monetary issue,” Rubinstein said months ago.
“To the extent that (the program with the IMF) is fulfilled, it would allow us to prevent very disruptive and harmful initiatives by Kirchnerism, and that the Government makes its own. It is a brake on something that might be much worse. The agreement endorses the prevailing mediocrity but avoids us the worst scenarios, not only because of the default itself, but because of the drop in the deficit and other issues, one might think that there will not be a breakdown in the Argentine economy,” he added, in his speech in March
