Government envoys confirmed to investors in New York that Macri would be the presidential candidate for Cambiemos

(New York) The fact that a government official and a major opponent share a microphone is already a challenge in times of crisis. That they do it in New York, that they talk about attracting investment and that agree that Argentina offers great opportunitiesIt seems even more difficult. Especially when the risk-country increases and falls by roller coaster and the election campaign sweeps all certainties.

But all this happened this morning on stage in front of a packed hall at Columbia University. The head of the councilors of President Mauricio Macri, José Torello, participated with Miguel Ángel Pichetto, leader of the senators of the PJ and one of the main shipowners of the opposition, from one day to the New York University under the title "Perspectives of Argentina, Investment Forecast: Challenges and Opportunities".

It was not an easy task to convey calm. While speaking to a hundred investors, badysts, businessmen and professionals, the peso collapsed in the slates of the city of Buenos Aires and bonds and shares of Argentine companies on Wall Street fell. The economy, legal security, justice and policy continuity were among the topics of discussion of the various panels organized.

Torello, according to witnesses from the meeting, sought to carry a message of continuity that rebadured investors. Macri, said the presidential adviser to investors, "is the only candidate of Cambiemos". The ratification of the course in New York coincided with similar messages from the ruling party in Buenos Aires and La Plata.

"The famous plan V is a rumor that has no justification", convicted Torello.

The head of Casa Rosada also reaffirmed the government's belief that in November, in the event of a second round against Unidad Ciudadana with Cristina Kirchner as candidate, Macri wins "without doubts". He claimed it twice. He went on to review the heritage received and the difficulties the government was facing as soon as it badumed the lack of collaboration from Kirchner officials who were leaving their posts at the time.

There was also a message from the Treasury Prosecutor, Bernardo Saravia Frías. Gastón Remy, CEO of Vista Oil, and Gerardo Mato, Regional CEO of HSBC, one of the event's sponsors, alongside ART Expert and several leading legal studies in Argentina and in the USA. The Association of Buenos Aires City Lawyers and the Columbia-Latin America Business Law Association were the two organizers of the event.

The official macrista He also thanked Pichetto for his contribution to the governance of Argentina since the triumph of Cambiemos and for "building bridges" between the ruling party and the PJ. Both agreed that Argentina had "great potential" and that sectors such as energy and the oil industry should be the spearhead of economic growth.

"It was a message of predictability and responsibility"He discussed Infobae Senator Pichetto on his intervention in the panel. "The message that Peronism has always respected its commitments," he added.

A day before, Pichetto had sent a similar message of predictability to investors at two meetings he had organized, organized by banks BBVA and Barclays. He has been heard by bankers and administrators of some of Wall Street's leading investment funds. He conveyed to all the idea that "Argentina will fulfill its obligations and how much it is negative for the country to generate uncertainty as to the will to respect it".

He also said that the country "has a future by developing a strategic sector such as the oil and gas industry, mines, the deposit and other sectors generating real currency." In case there are doubts among those present, an additional guarantee has been added: "The Peronism of which I am a part always respected the payment of the foreign obligations of the country".
