"The debate on what the productive development model should be for the solution to the systemic crisis in which climate change puts us, aggravated by Covid 19, has just begun, and to be loyal to my convictions and to the people

"he launched.

The Foreign Ministry had been at the center of the political scene when Alicia Castro resigned from the embassy in Moscow due to differences with the government's foreign policy.
