Former Cabinet Chief Alberto Fernández assured that “the Government has difficulties understanding what is going on, and gives fallacious speeches that are far from reality,” and blasted the cutback of subsidies on public services and the bill that seeks to reform the Central Bank’s charter.
Thus, Fernández questioned the subsidy cuts to public services, the transfer of the subway service management to the City and the bill seeking to reform the Central Bank’s charter.
“I am under the impression that (the Government) has difficulties understanding what is going on,” Fernández said during an interview, and even accused the Fernández de Kirchner administration of building a reality covered in fallacious speeches.”
Regarding the bill that seeks to reform the Central Bank charter, which was approved in the Lower House and has yet to be debated in the Senate, Fernández rejected the notion it will end convertibility issues. “The reform will end with fiscal rules implemented during Néstor Kirchner’s administration and allows the Government access to 50 billion pesos belonging to the Central Bank every year.”
“The Government usually accuses others of wanting to slow down the economy, but that is precisely what they did when they cut off subsidies overnight as they did,” he stressed.
