Government seeks to dispel doubts of foreign investors and ambassadors before possible return of Cristina Kirchner

The government will concretely apply what diplomacy describes as "seduction policy" with foreign investors and ambbadadors in the coming months of the electoral campaign with a specific objective: to convince the world that Mauricio Macri will win the elections, that Argentina will continue to be a reliable country and that the ghost of Cristina Kirchner's return is just an optical illusion of improbable crystallization at the polls.

The Casa Rosada and the Chancellery have already begun, through various means of communication, the operation of seduction in the world before the elections of October, which constitute at the same time an antidote against the fears of a return to power of the former president.

In Macri's international agenda in the coming months, this seduction strategy will also be deployed the trips that the president plans to make in Belgium, France at the G20 summit in Japan, the meeting in Chile for the exile of UNASUR and the visits that he will receive from the Queen of Denmark, kings of Spain or the 130 chancellors coming this week for the South-South Summit of the United Nations.

At the same time, in Buenos Aires, the government is advancing its program with ambbadadors and foreign businessmen. According to the Chancellor Jorge Faurie before Infobae also confirmed several government officials. Over the next few months, a series of talks with foreign ambbadadors and international investors will begin to communicate the details of the electoral process in Argentina and explain the potential benefits of Macri for a second term in terms of economic opportunities for the country. Argentina is concerned.

"We are holding regular meetings with the Chief of Staff of the Diplomatic Corps, where we will comment on the Electoral Calendar Forecast as the campaign unfolds and other topics," the statement said. Chancellor Faurie, confirming that this round of dialogue was intended to rebadure the markets

As you may have known Infobae by close friends of the Minister of Finance, Nicolás Dujovne, The idea of ​​engaging in conversations with ambbadadors and foreign businessmen was born from a paper that prepared this portfolio that details Argentina's economic forecasts in the world. coming months.. Apparently, this document with extremely optimistic figures and data has encouraged Faurie and several officials of the Strategic Affairs Secretariat team, led by Fulvio Pompeo, to transfer this data with speeches on support for foreign diplomacy ahead of time. elections.

This is not the only space used by the government to preach the benefits of the Macrist system and scare the ghost Cristina Kirchner. He also works there Marcelo Scaglione, the Treasury Secretary in charge of Argentina in the powerful club of the OECD. The official who usually travels to the embbadies of the central countries to report on Argentina's actions to enter this club of choice must always explain that the return of the former president is not possible in Argentina and that only the way Macri will be the way to get the country out of hell.

However, Macri's own words do not help much in convincing his bishops to embark on diplomacy or foreign companies. Last Thursday, Macri told Jujuy that "when political doubt dissolves in the future, the economy will pick up speed again".

– Are foreign diplomats or investors worried about a possible return of Cristina Kirchner? Infobae asked Chancellor Faurie.

-It is important that we define the country model that we want to have. And in this model of country we want to live, we give priority to the respect of institutions, economic growth, the implementation of the rules of the game in the economic and political, as in the rest of the world. All these values ​​are those that President Macri preached in recent years and which are now subject to the opinion of the re-election people. The model of Cambiemos is that of Argentina in the future, Argentina participates in all the scenarios of the world and the trade agreements and the dynamism of the export vision. Then there are those who want to go back to the past.

-But do you think that if you go back, there will be a flight of investments ?, insisted this media.

Investors are neither careless nor naive. They know where their investments give in to develop their capital and where they do not grow, said the Chancellor.

Beyond the rebaduring words that Faurie tried to exert, the truth is that both ambbadadors and foreign businessmen consulted by Infobae admit in strict reserve that there are fears of a return of the former president. Not only that. Moreover, this fear paralyzes investment today.

"Until October or November, no major investment will be made in Argentina as there is much uncertainty as to what could happen if Cristina Kirchner wins and Argentina closes on the world, "said an ambbadador from a very influential Asian country in the world economic

The Neuquén effect has calmed the minds of some foreign businessmen. The ghost of Cristina Kirchner behind the governor candidate Rioseco faded with the victory of Governor Gutiérrez, which allowed the investor to find the atmosphere of Vaca Muerta. But we must ask Dujovne himself that the day after the elections in Neuquen offered an interview in Houston with American tankers exalted by the results of this remote province of Patagonia, as if it were an NBA final.

An ambbadador from a European country explains that there are two types of investors and therefore two different views on the immediate future of Argentina. On the one hand, he explained, there are those who respond to multinationals that have been in Argentina for more than 90 years and have experienced many crises. These will not go away easily, even if they stop investing if Cristina Kirchner returns or even with Macri if the economy does not restart. On the other hand, there are investors from SMEs or medium-sized companies who are going to be frightened by a storm.

"A return of Cristina Kirchner would be a risk as it will be an unpredictable and unhealthy gesture for Argentina", admitted another ambbadador of the European Union to Infobae.

The director of the Center for American Studies, Luis Savino, who has well-established contacts in Washington, told Infobae that "among American investors or American officials, the idea that Cristina Kirchner would be a candidate would give rise to fear and a lot of uncertainty ". Savino pointed out that the Macri government will need an economy that will improve as soon as possible to give a sign of tranquility to the alien.

Part of this was also heard a few days ago at the Italian Embbady when Ambbadador Giuseppe Manso received thirty or so Italian companies in the middle of the program's launch. Italia in 24 "that brought together officials and businessmen from Buenos Aires. The plan of the Embbady of Italy aims to boost investment in the 24 provinces of Argentina. The current climate of uncertainty makes no announcement or major promise at this meeting.

The government has already taken note of all this and decided to go ahead with this seduction strategy. The electoral apparatus of Cambiemos must do the rest if he wants Macri to calm the spirits.
