After also mentioning the doubts generated by the context and the way in which he reached the main position in the Palacio de Hacienda, Dal Poggetto said that Batakis “is a political rather than a technical cadre.”
“Evidently, what Massa asked for did not end up closing Alberto Fernández. The main pressure is on the exchange rate gap. Whether or not they allow him to decompress the stocks to conform to Cristina Kirchner, remains to be seen. But Batakis is a political cadre, so if they ask her to push for what Cristina wants, she can do it. The situation that will come is more gap, inflation and complications”, affirmed Dal Poggetto.
President Alberto Fernández held a working breakfast this morning at the Olivos residence with Silvina Batakis, who will take office in the next few hours to replace the resigning Martín Guzmán.
Official sources confirmed that Batakis, who until now had been Secretary of the Provinces of the Ministry of the Interior, was meeting in Olivos with the president and with Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero.
This morning, the chief of staff, Juan Manzur, stressed that “it is unanimous” within the ruling coalition that Batakais accept the position to replace Guzmán, who resigned last Saturday, and maintained that it is a “economist of excellence and great experience”.
In statements made to the press upon entering Government House, Manzur stated that Batakis would assume his position “probably in the course of the afternoon,” once the procedures to formalize the appointment are completed.
The appointment of Batakis Economy comes to complete Guzmán’s pending tasks, among which is the renegotiation of the debt with the Paris Club, the definition of the new electricity and gas rates, and promoting a drop in inflation.
