The Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, He responded to the former president on Monday Cristina Fernandez de Kirchnerafter she questioned the DNU that enables the Executive to renegotiate the debt in pesos and dollars without going through Congress.
Through X (formerly Twitter), the head of the Treasury Palace quoted Cristina’s tweet and noted: “All the debt of the last 20 years was generated by youguided by the primate you had as Minister of Economy.”
He also criticized his management and claimed that of Mauricio Macriof whom he was Minister of Finance: “First you inherited a 2-point fiscal surplus and turned it into a 7-point deficit. Then Macri left you with almost a primary balance and you brought it back to a 5-point deficit.”
Finally, Caputo closed his message with a joke, accompanied by Argentine flags: “Your husband was right when he said you knew nothing about economics.“Stay quiet and scream, that’s the most you can do, because you’re never going to govern again.”
Cristina Kirchner’s post to which Caputo later responded
Previously, Cristina had published under the title “From the fires of the past and the future”a criticism of the DNU that was issued by the government of Javier Milei that allows the Executive to renegotiate the debt in pesos and dollars without having to go through Congress to do so.
“This modification of the Financial Administration Act It was already included in the first draft of the Basic Law and we pointed it out in our document “Argentina in its third debt crisis – current situation” published in February of this year. Finally, the approved Basic Law did not include this letter of marque that now appears in the draft Budget Law.he explained
“What is the urgency of the DNU published today when the central modification in the matter of indebtedness is already submitted to the consideration of Congress in the budget project that Milei presented with so much pomp and so little audience? What does Caputo want to do with the next debt maturities? Set the country on fire again in the debt bonfire as he did with Macri and the IMF? Can’t Milei’s Minister Caputo pay the debt that Macri’s Minister Caputo generated, even with a heartless and inhuman adjustment?the former president questioned in conclusion.
Before criticizing the Government’s economic decision, Cristina had pointed against the libertarian administration for the fires in Córdoba, in a text titled “From the fires of the present.”
“For days now, television has been showing us devastating images of the fires in the Province of Córdoba: Capilla del Monte, Dolores, Los Cocos and the relentless advance towards other towns. People who lose their life project, their home, their animals… Forests, wildlife… Everything devoured by the flames. However, the most terrible image was the one that reveals the intentionality behind the fire: a large can of gasoline that, when they found it and displayed it, had already been used,” he said.
Then, he pointed directly at the Executive for the problem: “Since December 10, 2023, the National Government stopped reporting the daily fire reportwhich is especially important in a context of climate crisis and increased occurrence of extreme events (which the President directly denies). As if that were not enough, in the first quarter of 2024, The National Government did not spend a single peso of the funds allocated to Fire Management.”
Cristina Kirchner’s response to Luis Caputo’s tweet
The former president did not hold back after Luis Caputo’s response to her tweet, and dedicated another post to him, this time attaching a video in which President Javier Milei criticized her management at the head of the Ministry of Finance.Look what your current boss said about you, you idiot.he marked.
“As Macri’s Minister, I knew he was a serial debtor in dollars and a great liar with numbers. Now, the thing about Milei being violent and misogynistic as Minister, the truth is that he didn’t have it… It seems that it is contagious.“, Cristina posted.
This was again answered by the Minister of Economy, who only wrote: “Haha, I see you’re listening to me, just keep screaming!”
