Government coalition in turmoil

June 2022

The economic and political situation continued to deteriorate in recent weeks.  Cristina Kirchner escalated the confrontation with Alberto Fernandez in two speeches in which she criticized once again the agreement with the IMF, and especially the effectiveness of the policies to preserve international reserves and to deal with inflation.  Cristina believes in controls, and her main criticism was to the Central Bank and to the Trade Secretariat which, in her opinion, were not tough enough controlling imports and price increases.
