Former President Mauricio Macri once again attacked the current president, Alberto Fernández, whom he called a "
serial liar
" and defended himself for the inheritance of the government that he left in 2019.
"Unfortunately over the months the value of the presidential word has been destroyed.
We have all concluded that he is a serial liar
and continues the old fight of Kirchnerism with the data," he started with all his defense in TN.
Macri considered that the K universe "fights with scientific information and invents accounts of the debt that are a lie, stories of inheritance that are a lie," he continued.
"I wish I had had the inheritance he had in 2015. We inherited a Central Bank with negative reserves, that means that Kirchnerism had even spent people's deposits in dollars to maintain an economic appearance," he denounced, in response to a certain balance that Fernández attributed to him in networks.
"In 2019 we gave him almost a fiscal balance, not a hole like the one Cristina (Kirchner) left us. We gave him the country that was no longer in default, reserves in the Central Bank,
energy not only to supply Argentina
but to export to Chile, "he continued in his defense,
And then he analyzed: "The worst thing is really having all the prices unbalanced. When we arrived, the energy was worth less than 10% of the real value. When we left, that generated a whole process of inflation that we did not know how to control in time. they were at 75% of the true point. "
"Now
everything has become unbalanced
. The economic disaster that it has generated in this year and a half ... Today
we are much worse than two years ago,
" said the former president.
The debt story
Regarding the discussion about the foreign debt that he took during his government, he said that it
is "all a lie
.
"
"One looks at the average year and Cristina Kirchner increased the debt by 17 billion dollars per year. We 12 thousand," said Macri, who had already relied on arguments from his former minister Alfonso Prat Gay to combat this thread of criticism.
Macri said in a year of Alberto Fernández's government "they were in debt at 34 billion."
"And they say no, that the reality is that it is pesos. The pesos are adjusted by indexation clauses for inflation or inflation plus dollars. They are very expensive debts," he explained.
And he gave the example of the Leliq.
"He (Fernández) spoke that he, with the Leliqs,
was going to pay the retirees.
They quadrupled and the retirees charge 10% less than in our government. That
ball of Leliqs
is generating 14 billion dollars of interest per year. How much generates the loan from the fund that they talk so much about? 1,400.
Ten times less,
"he justified.
