"Which president would not like to have" Lavagna as "Minister of Economy?"

"Which president would not like to have" Lavagna as "Minister of Economy?"asked Fernandez, a former cabinet member under the Néstor Kirchner government.

"I've always said Lavagna is one of the virtuosos I've met, he's one of those men you give him a problem with and he gives you three solutions. do not know what Lavagna wants to do, "he said.

He also revealed that on Monday he had "talked" to Randazzo – also a former Kirchner government member – with whom he had "stayed" to "meet within the week".

At the same time, Fernández warned that "what worries most", is to see Mauricio Macri "ratify the course" after losing in the STEP: "Beyond being" coacheados " to say "heard", heard but did not understand anything "Fernández said, about Macri's expressions, that the government still had" many more things to show, propose, discuss and do "and that" the change was continuing ".

Therefore, he stressed that "what worries most, is to see a president ratify the course", in this case, after the defeat at the STEP.

In his criticism of the government, the Todos Front candidate said: "They did not understand, because what we saw at the Macri press conference, it is" we will continue to do the same "."

He also questioned the fact that Macri said the "fault" of the 23% rise in the dollar recorded on Monday "had Kirchnerism".

"In the middle are the Argentineans, in the hands of people who do not know where to appear in the middle of this crisis," he added on the NET TV channel.

When asked if he would attend a possible call from Casa Rosada, Fernández replied, "I want the Argentines to stop suffering .If I could do something for that they would not suffer more, I would, but I can not lie to people. What can I do? Nothing I am not even an elected president, I am only a candidate. My pen does not sign decrees. "

Government appeals

Rogelio Frigerio wrote me, who congratulated me and thanked him. And I spoke with Emilio Monzó"With regard to Monday's press conference, Mauricio Macri said:" The government listened but did not understand anything. What we saw at the conference, is that they will virtually continue to do the same. "And he asked," Four and a half million poor people, and are you proud of what you did? "

About the IMF

"I will not declare the cessation of payments or want to default, but Macri has left us in default.If we did not use the fund, we would be the default. Macri's use of the Fund's money was pathetic, "said the candidate. .
