“On the internal plane, the country is aimed at elections in October. It is very important that the will to change is not derailing. Until now, we do not see that this risk is being materialized, but I urge Argentina to maintain the course,” said the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva. While the background had already granted the biggest loan its history to Mauricio Macri in a clear political support for their re -election, they had maintained the forms avoiding making official support statements to a specific party. The level of submission shown by Milei to the Trump government and the interests of the United States in an increasingly fractional world seem to encourage imperialist interference more openly.
It was not an isolated comment at the press conference this Thursday in the so -called spring sessions of the agency, there Georgieva also said that “Argentina has shown that this time is different” repeating in a textual way the words he likes to repeat the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo. The exceptionality would be the absence of fiscal deficit (the difference between the expenses and income of the State without counting the financial part), as if it were enough to deal with a fraudulent external debt in dollars that implies payments of billions of dollars every year for more than a decade.

“One of the risks for Argentina would have been to stay alone in this process of macroeconomic stabilization. But now the country is not alone. We are present, the World Bank is present, and the Inter -American Development Bank is reinforcing its support,” said the director of the IMF. Argentina’s reserves were at the limit and the government was rescued, but lifeguard for the short term is at the cost of greater dependence with international credit organizations.
The economic intentions of imperialism were also part of their speech. Kristalina said: “There is a very important opportunity for Argentina in a world that is hungry for what the country produces, both in the agricultural sector and in minerals, mining, gas and lithium.” Laura Richardson, head of the southern command of the United States, had already made it clear that these resources (as they call natural common goods) are a strategic objective for their country and would not be a surprise the US expansion in the exploitation of these sectors as part of the program with the fund.

The IMF bets on Milei because it considers that it is the best option today to continue looting the workers of Argentina to guarantee the profits of the great entrepreneurs and the speculative investment funds. “The State is withdrawing from where it should not be, to allow greater dynamism of the private sector,” Kristalina Georgieva remarked to praise the Milei and Caputo adjustment plan, but if the national government came to fail Peronism already showed under the presidency of Alberto Fernández that has no intention of breaking with the fund. However, leaving the claws of imperialism is the only option to end the adjustment plans that affect the great majorities.
The loan with the IMF of US $ 45,000 million taken Macri in 2018 was endorsed by the front of all and refinanced with the intermediation of Martín Guzmán in 2022. Only in 2026 the capital maturities of said credit begin, but the current government burned the reserves of the Central Bank to sustain a backward change type and had to go to the background a year earlier. The rebounds between the cheap dollar and the devaluations have only brought more poverty for the great majorities because there is no favorable economic plan for workers under the terms of the Monetary Fund. For this reason, from the Left Front, they raise the need to fight for a sovereign ignorance of external debt and end the country’s submission to the interests of concentrated capital.
