Alberto Fernandez, former cabinet chief and close advisor to the Kirchners, said the IMF is not the cause of the country’s poverty.
He said that Argentines “tend to blame others and look for responsibilities outside the country”. He added that “we are told that Argentina’s poverty and indigence are the fault of the IMF because they were cruel with us: and no, that’s not true, we are to blame”.
“The cause of poverty in Argentina is with us, simply because we spent more than what we should and this led to borrowing”, underlined Fernandez.
