"The president (Alberto Fernández) and the minister (of Economy Martín) Guzmán were deceiving us all the time."

This is how the head of Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, Hebe de Bonafini, began her traditional Thursday speech.

Hebe was specifically critical of the expressions Alberto Fernández made in the last hours about wanting to

"honor" the debt with the IMF

.

The testimony of the Madres reference is, at the same time, an alignment with the words of Cristina Kichner who warned on Wednesday - on the anniversary of the military coup of 1976 - that the country

"cannot pay the debt."

"What does honoring the debt call you, Mr. President, to get on your knees with the Fund? Do not get used to lying, Mr. President, otherwise you will look a lot like someone we already know," Bonafini said in reference to Mauricio Macri.

He continued: "You promised something else and Guzmán also, do not lie to us; we are ignorant, poor, but we know something because we suffer in our own flesh, what is happening. There are no careful prices, there is no salary increase, the statistics do not give us serving".

For Bonafini, from their space they only see the "stomach of those who do not eat, the homes of those who do not have a home and the lack of work of those who do not work and do not earn

from this miserable agreement they made with the Fund."


He concluded: "I am ashamed, Mr. President, of this agreement, which is not at all honorable.

It is the disgrace of the country

."

Alberto Fernández had held a videoconference on Wednesday with the head of the World Bank (WB), David Malpass, in which they discussed the social and economic situation.

Fernández assured his interlocutor there that Argentina will honor its debts.
