Spain’s President Mariano Rajoy considered that the expropriation of YPF oil and gas giant led by the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and backed by a large majority of the opposition blocs, has to do more with Argentina’s weakness than Spain’s current fragility.
“The expropriation has to do with a search for hiding points of weakness by taking some decisions that show certain authority.” Rajoy said.
Likewise, the Spanish leader remarked that “this kind of measures affect in a much larger way the country that takes them than the expropriated company. Who can now trust and invest in a country that takes such decisions without giving a single explanation?”
