President Alberto Fernández regretted this Saturday the death of Jorge Todesca , who died this Friday at age 73, and stressed that, as an economist, "he replaced the wisdom where it was lost."

"I regret the death of Jorge Todesca. In his youth he was a committed militant and that condemned him to exile in the dictatorship. In the end, as an economist, he restored the wisdom where he had lost himself," said the president.

And he added in the message he posted on his Twitter account: "I accompany my friend Cecilia and all her loved ones in her pain." Todesca was the father of economist Cecilia Todesca Bocco, current deputy chief of Cabinet of Santiago Cafiero.

The economist died on Friday at age 73, as reported by family members and relatives, after 15 days of hospitalization, the product of a cancer he suffered.

He was Deputy Minister of Economy and Director of Indec from December 12, 2015 to December 9, 2019, and had a long history in public management and in his profession.
