Alberto Fernández’s letter to Joe Biden after the controversial Foreign Ministry message

President Alberto Fernández addressed a letter to the new President of the United States, Joe Biden, in which he wished him every success in his tenure and asked him to have “a work-sharing program”.

Fernández, who has already had a telephone dialogue with the US president after the elections last November, also asked for his collaboration in the problems of the region.

“I know him, knowing body and soul the reality of Latin America, and his experience and sensitivity will also be very important for our region, besieged as you know by multiple challenges of inequality, violence and debt. unbearable, ”Fernández wrote.

In this sense, the President continued: << The Government of the Argentine Republic is ready and full of hope to be able to consolidate with its administration a shared work schedule, creative and innovative that focuses on the future and is nourished by common values ​​”.

“Faced with this planetary crisis, a spirit of brotherhood, convergence and bridges of solidarity built in communion of interests must prevail, because” no one is saved alone “in this instance of our history”, he added.

His letter comes a few hours after the controversial message from the Foreign Ministry, in which he asked to “respect” multilateral organizations and not to bet on the “disunity” of nations as in the previous stage.

While the tone was not the most diplomatic, the government’s message to Washington can also be interpreted as a nod to the Democratic formula and a Chicana for Donald Trump.

At Casa Rosada and Palacio San Martín, they consider that the former US president played hard in Argentina’s 2019 elections and bet on Mauricio Macri. With this logic, they explain the boost that the Republican magnate gave Argentina’s request for a loan of 57 billion dollars to the IMF, the largest in the history of the multilateral organization.

Now, the President’s letter commits to mitigating controversies and sowing a common relationship with the United States, with an emphasis on negotiations with the International Monetary Fund.

Indeed, the Argentine Ambassador to the United States, Jorge Argüello, assured that he was already working for there to be “as soon as possible” a meeting between Alberto Fernández and Biden, who began his mandate on Wednesday. President.
