President Alberto Fernández said that what Argentina needs from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is " more time and containment " and added: "I would like the Fund to commit to the growth of a country because the Fund can help us get out of the food and poverty catastrophe we have. "
The president also supported on Thursday the dissertation of the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, before the National Congress. He said that the minister spoke with "the most absolute reality" and considered that the fall of the markets is not related to that exposure, but to the result of the dual bond re-inflation.
During the interview with Rivadavia radio, the President said that "the default was since (Mauricio) Macri left the presidency, so he debited some debts."
In addition, he responded to criticism in the absence of the presentation of an economic plan. “We have a plan A and a plan B , depending on what happens. We are going through the A, which is to agree on the debt and start growing, ”he said.
Among other issues, Fernández said that the judicial reform project “is almost ready” and, although he avoided giving details, he clarified: “It will not mean the removal of any judge or that he loses the causes he already has”.
"My idea is to create a federal Justice that is committed to doing justice once and for all and forgets politics. That puts all its efforts in the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime," he added.
Surprisingly, he revealed that he had two telephone contacts with his predecessor Mauricio Macri after the change of government. “He called me to see how he was. (He) was on vacation in the South. It can help solve the problems they created, for Justice to work better, ”he said.
Amid the crossings between his own officials for the alleged existence of "political prisoners," the head of state denied inmates in the Government. “ I have no difference with any minister of mine . They have the freedom to think and that makes the cabinet richer. I hate the unique speech. What is clear is that the one who decides is me, ”he remarked.
“There are no political prisoners, but there are people who are arbitrarily detained for their political position against Macri. Four years I was saying this, ”he added.
In that regard, he dismissed an alleged double command with his vice president. “I have the pen and ink cartridges. With Cristina I speak daily. How not to pay attention, ”he closed.

UVA credits : “UVA credits are complicated, that's why I recommended not entering. They are 95 thousand people. They are being very unfair to us. We made an agreement for the bank to start charging little by little. We take care, but keep in mind that they are private agreements, which each one took personally. ”
Plan Against Hunger: “It's not the Alberto or the government, it's from Argentina, each one contributing what they can. You cannot live in a society where you don't have the ethic of being in solidarity with the other. How one can be at peace eating daily if another 16 million hardly eat. I should be ashamed. You have to do something epic for those who are wrong. ”

The meeting with Pope Francis: “At no time do we talk about abortion. I absolutely respect your position and that of the Church. ”
His life as President: “I never turn off the phone, but neither did it before. I sleep six or seven hours. I think about politics all day, it's what I have to do. I have time to read, to watch movies, to play the guitar, to be with friends. With Fabiola we don't talk about politics because he doesn't touch it. She was always working silently with boys they needed. And it is what he does (now). ”
