The vice president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, denounced that the agreement reached between former Argentine president Mauricio Macri and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2018 was “scandalous” and “a scam against the Argentine people.”

Fernández de Kirchner reacted in this way to the recent report prepared by the auditors’ association of the General Audit of the Nation, which detected numerous irregularities in the granting and subsequent realization of the financial credit granted by the IMF.

The General Audit of the Nation is the constitutional body that has control of the legality, management and audit of all state activity, as recalled by the Argentine vice president and reported by the national news agency Télam.

Thus, in the report of the aforementioned body “it is detailed how Macri’s officials exchanged roles and functions to commit fraud to all the Argentine people.”

The Argentine authorities and the IMF agreed in March 2022 on a “reformulation” of the financing program in response to the impact of the drought on the Argentine economy. Macri agreed with the IMF in 2018 on a loan of 50,000 million dollars that has been reviewed repeatedly due to the inability of Buenos Aires to face the debt.
