In the midst of criticism and questioning of the Government's decision to sell ANSeS bonds in dollars to try to contain the bleeding of the Central Bank's reserves, the former head of the organization during the presidency of Cristina Kirchner warned that the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, is "
speculating with the assets of retirees
".
This is Diego Bossio, the former K official who led the ANSeS between 2009 and 2015, who questioned that "
between roosters and midnight
" the decision to pesify "the dollar bonds of the Sustainability Guarantee Fund (FGS) of the ANSES".
"They say it is to stabilize the economy, but
they are playing roulette with the savings of
Argentine workers and future retirees," Bossio emphasized through an extensive thread on Twitter.
In arguing his statement, he said that "the accumulation of public debt in USD was
key for the FGS to go through the recurring devaluations
without damaging its assets."
Bossio, who left Kirchnerism in 2016 when he was a deputy and moved away from the Frente para La Victoria block, described the government's measure as "extremely short-term" and insisted that it "puts the future of retirees at risk".
For the economist, "what the government is doing is borrowing at a rate of more than 25% in dollars" and criticized that "instead of managing responsibly, they are speculating with the assets of retirees."
