For the first time after the changes in the Cabinet, Alberto Fernández and Santiago Cafiero saw each other again in a work meeting.

This time with the former Chief of Staff in his role as Chancellor replacing Felipe Solá and with one objective: to polish the President's speech for

his speech by teleconference in the framework of the United Nations General Assembly

.

After meeting with the head of the block of Deputies, Máximo Kirchner, Fernández received in his office at Casa Rosada the man who was his alter ego until this Friday, when he had to hand him over as a bargaining chip to Cristina Kirchner, to maintain peace in the Front of All.

With Solá away, not only physically but also

because of his anger after learning in the middle of the trip that he had been kicked out

, the President leaned on Cafiero to outline what his speech will be.

It was a meeting of almost two hours, in which Fernández sought to confirm the confidence he has in the incoming foreign minister.

Presidential sources announced that in his speech this Tuesday - about 5:00 p.m. - Fernández will demand the "need to

reconfigure a global financial structure

, taking as an example the role that the IMF has played in the world and especially in the country." .

And it will require "a solution to the problem of

unsustainable debts

."

Along these lines, the loan granted to Argentina during Mauricio Macri's administration "will be classified as a toxic and irresponsible debt."

On the other hand, Fernández will insist on an axis on which he has made special mention during the past year.

He will warn that "the pandemic has brought to light the inequality and inequity in the world" and that it was reflected especially in the distribution of vaccines. "

The environmental agenda will also be part of Fernández's speech, which will point to the "threat" that climate change represents for all countries.

The claim to the United Kingdom and the

reaffirmation of Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvinas

will have a special chapter.

Argentina will insist on compliance with UN Resolution 2065.

According to official sources, it will also "condemn terrorism" and urge "to fight it while respecting international law."

Along these lines, it will make a "request for collaboration to clarify the attack on the AMIA."

It is not clear whether he will refer to the recent designation of suspects in the attack as front-line officials of the Iranian government.
