President Alberto Fernández once again justified the new dollar stocks on Tuesday by stating that foreign exchange is needed by "
those who produce and provide work, before anyone else,
" during an act in which he once again questioned the government of Mauricio Macri.
" It
is clear that the time we are living is a time of emergency, is an exceptional time. None of the measures we have taken in this matter are measures that make us happy nor are measures we enjoy.
These are measures that the situation we it demands
due to the degree of deterioration that the Central Bank's reserves had when we arrived, "Fernández launched from Cañuelas, where lines of financing for companies were announced.
And he continued: "And in the middle we had to deal with continuing to pay international organizations and reach an agreement with private holders."
In a strong speech, Fernández insisted that "dollars are needed to buy the supplies that allow us to make electrical appliances": "History made us get used to
this kind of bimonetarism, the idea of managing in pesos and saving in dollars
, and here it is where one realizes where we Argentines need dollars. "
The president explained that "each one of the refrigerators has 60% of national production and 40% of inputs that are imported, but in the meantime,
in order to buy the supplies, it is necessary to take care of the dollars
."
After insisting that Argentina is experiencing "a time of transition," he repeated his criticisms of Macri, arguing that his government was "four years in which imports were encouraged more" than production.
"Let's not forget not to give them the right
to do what they did with us again,
" said Fernández, adding that his government had to "put up hospitals that were unfinished" because the previous administration thought that "it was not important. ".
The president maintained that "there is no better music" for his "ears than working machines": "And we have not given up and
we are dealing with the scenario that has touched us
. A ruinous scenario, added to a pandemic," launched the head of state .
And he sentenced: "As I always say, we received a country in intensive care and
in therapy a virus caught us
."
The president said this when he announced this noon financing lines for companies and for the purchase of electrical appliances, during a ceremony at the Visuar Industrial Complex, in the Buenos Aires municipality of
Cañuelas
.
As reported, the financing proposal aims to guarantee that 1000 small, medium and large companies have access to loans with rates of up to 24 percent, and terms of 36 months, with six months of grace.
