President Alberto Fernandez will travel today to Europe to start a tour that will include his participation in the G20 Leaders Summit, in Italy; a hand in hand with the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, and another with his pair from France, Emmanuel Macron. What’s more, will be part of COP26, the UN Conference on Climate Change, in Glasgow, Scotland.
Hours before embarking on the trip, the President was the only speaker at the tribute to Néstor Kirchner, 11 years after his death, a scenario in which he took a tough position on the debt negotiation with the IMF. “If we still do not close an agreement, it is because we are not going to kneel”, He said before the Kirchner militancy at the Morón Sports Club.
Fernández will travel to Europe supported by the Minister of Economy, Martin Guzman, and the chancellor Santiago Cafiero. The meeting with Georgieva will coincide with a moment of maximum alert in Argentina due to the soaring of the blue dollar and the widening of the gap with the official, which is close to 100%.
In addition, the final stretch is approaching towards the general elections in November, in which the Frente de Todos seeks to reverse the defeat of the PASO. The message for those who will be in charge of the Bell is clear: continue to show presence in the territory; show an agenda for the positive and expose proactivity in the fight against inflation with price control.
What is the President’s agenda before his tour of Europe
Before traveling, the President will head this Thursday from 10:30, in the Buenos Aires municipality of Escobar, the inauguration of Expo Escobar, a business event that will bring together more than 330 exhibitors from local and regional companies, to promote the areas of new technologies, education and innovation, sustainability, triple impact economy, among others.
In the act with a campaign tone, he will be accompanied by the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, and the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa.
Alberto Fernández will have a hand in hand with Kristalina Georgieva
In the framework of the G20 Summit, the President has a meeting scheduled with the director of the IMF. The agreement for the debt restructuring for US $ 44,000 million that Argentina maintains with that multilateral credit organization got stuck after several meetings led by Guzmán.
“We know that there is a postponed Argentina and that it suffers and we are the first to worry about that. In Avellaneda, a colleague told me, “President, I ask you not to kneel.” If we still do not close an agreement it is because we are not going to kneel, because we will negotiate until our people see their future at risk to pay a debt”Fernández said before his departure for Rome.
