Sergio Chodos assured this morning that three opposition leaders asked the multilateral organization not to provide further assistance to Argentina. Senior official sources consider that the opposition “seeks to push the country into default.”
This Sunday the Argentine director before the International Monetary Fund, Sergio Chodos, revealed that three economists from the “previous government” asked Fund officials not to provide assistance to Argentina until a new administration takes over. High official sources revealed to Ambit that the names indicated are those of the former Minister of Economy, Hernán Lacunza, his predecessor Alfonso Prat Gay and the former head of the Central Bank, Guido Sandleris. In the Executive they consider that the opposition “seeks to push the country to default.”
According to what the sources consulted slipped to this medium, the contact would have occurred in the last week while the currency run deepened. The request of the economists would be focused on the agency “not modifying the schedule of payments and disbursements.” Even in the Government they affirm that the requisition seeks that the IMF does not specify the disbursements that are already scheduled.
Without mentioning them by name and surname, the Argentine director before the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Sergio Chodos, described “three economists from the previous government” as “unpatrias” because they would have asked officials of the multilateral organization not to provide assistance to Argentina until a new administration takes over.
“Sad because the debt we have was taken by them and by anti-patrias because the debt belongs to Argentina because of them and it was contracted to rescue private debt holders in many related cases and to finance asset flight,” he said.
