Contundente respuesta de Cristina Fernández a las advertencias del FMI

During her address to the United Nations General Assembly, the president rejected the organization's threat to issue a red card to the government if it does not modify its official statistical mechanism. "I want to tell the IMF that this is not a football match, but the most serious financial and economic crisis since the 1930s. And that my country is not a football team, but a sovereign nation that makes its decisions autonomously and will not accept pressure, much less threats, from any international organization," stated the Argentine president. Cristina Fernández also reviewed the organization's insistence on proposing austerity measures to confront the crisis, measures that have repeatedly proven to be an absolute failure and have not even served to anticipate the current crisis. "In that sense, and since they want to compare this to football, I must say that FIFA officials were much more efficient than those of the IMF in terms of organization."
