The bloc of senators of Together for Change published a statement in response to the letter that the senators of the Front of All delivered to the delegation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in which it criticized several of Mauricio Macri's measures.
"With unsubstantiated accusations and the intention to shed responsibilities, it is intended to mask that the Government of President Alberto Fernández is carrying out a strong adjustment that impacts on the most vulnerable sectors," it says in part of the text.
In the letter they defend the negotiation that the former president carried out with the IMF: "He did not get into debt due to a special vocation for contracting external commitments. He did it to face the high fiscal deficit left by the Cristina Kirchner administration."
In this sense, they added: "Debt was issued for approximately 275,000 million dollars, of which about 195,000 million were applied to cancel commitments contracted by Kirchnerism. The rest was used to reduce a high inherited fiscal deficit."
This answer comes after the senator's block K published a letter in which he criticized the IMF for granting funds "irresponsibly" to Argentina during the Stand By 2018 agreement.
But they also denounce behind the disbursement of the body to the government of then President Macri "political considerations and not technical or institutional aspects."
