Facing a world in which “the energy crisis is being debated,” he stated that it requires greater importance “to have a flagship company that serves as a witness company for where the country’s energy development is going.”
In that sense, he underlined the determination of Fernández de Kirchner in 2012 to nationalize 51% of the oil company that was in the hands of the Spanish Repsol and assured that at that time “few trusted and it was a problem.”
“But look at what that agreement was and what it gave rise to,” emphasized the president, who was accompanied by Axel Kicillof, governor of Buenos Aires; Omar Gutiérrez, governor of Neuquén; Darío Martínez, secretary of Energy of the Nation, and Pablo González, president from YPF.
The nationalization gave rise to two thoughts: “a thriving, growing YPF, which would also be a witness for energy prices” or “a declining company, that gave way to other interests as were the years of the government that preceded us.”
“In both cases it was in the hands of the State, but in one case there was a policy but in another case there was another,” he said while asserting that his management is “reversing the problem of the lack of energy of those four years.”

With the work of the gas pipeline, the president assured that it is “Valuing something very important for the development of Argentina: there is no possibility of development without industry, there is no possibility of industry growing without energy, and there is no possibility of that energy coming from anywhere other than Argentine soil. ”.
The project “in all fairness is going to be called Néstor Kirchner” because “it has everything that Néstor was: it has to face him, put his chest up, stand up where he needed to stand up.”
“We need to take gas to every corner of the country so that industry can be established there, produce and give opportunities in this Argentina of the center and the periphery, as I always say,” he stated and added: “This Dead Cow is more alive than ever.”
