Poverty has become a big problem.
— Alberto Fernandez
If I do my job right, companies will want to keep their money in Argentina.
There's no possibility that Argentina will fall into default if I'm president.
We prefer an orderly resolution to the debt crisis and we're moving in that direction. But the most important thing is that the deal we reach with creditors is sustainable.
We will pay the debts by growing and exporting... The only way is to export. The other channel has been exhausted, which is to borrow.
Combining my love for charity and my love for exercise is a happy medium.
We have to heal so many open wounds in our homeland.
I am an activist for putting an end to the criminalisation of abortion.
I believe in individual freedoms and I believe that the state must be present when the markets demand it.
Macri didn't understand anything. It wasn't a bad election, it was a terrible government.
Bolsonaro must relax, I do not plan to shut down the economy. It's silly.
No one wants a default, or to slam the door in the IMF's face.
Argentina is in a virtual, hidden default.
I am not against oil multinationals. What I am saying is that you end up going to them when you are not able to develop your own technology to extract oil.
Argentines must know that any commitment I made is an ethical commitment. We are going to build a solidarity and egalitarian Argentina that everybody dreams.
The government has returned to the hands of the people.
We are going to be the Argentina we deserve to be.
The country is indebted, cloaked by an instability that discards the possibility of development and leaves it hostage to foreign financial markets.
There are no debt payments that can be sustained if the country does not grow.
A state should protect citizens in general and women in particular. And in the 21st Century, every society needs to respect the individual choice of its members to decide freely about their bodies.
I don't want to be Wall Street's candidate. I want to be Argentines' candidate.
Capitalism can't exist without demand.
But the truth is Brazil is much more important than Bolsonaro.
Nobody believes Macri can pay back the debt.
I will do everything necessary to ensure we can export because that way Argentina will produce dollars.
We are not socialists, we are Peronists. We are pragmatic.
Mr. Macri's government caused damage similar to what Argentina suffered in 2001: a debt default, no foreign-currency reserves, a steep devaluation and increased poverty.
It makes no sense to have oil if to get it out you have to let the multinationals come and take it.
I come before you to call for unity from all Argentina, to build a new social contract of brotherhood and solidarity. I come before you calling for all to put Argentina on its feet, to put the country on a path toward development and social justice.
I've already lived through a default and it's very hurtful for society. No one could want a default as a solution.
Stop trusting neo-liberal theories, and realize what happens when neo-liberals take over.
Argentina should grow with a project of its own and implemented by Argentines, not dictated by foreigners with old recipes that always fail.
Macri lost $100 billion. Argentina needs dollars to come back in.
Without bread, there is no present or future. Without bread, life only suffers.
We're going to stop paying the interest on Leliqs that Argentines are paying for every day.
I am a Peronist. I am growing the branches of progressive Peronist liberalism.
Macri only wooed hot money, carry traders and speculators. He is the only responsible person for the hardship Argentina is going through.
Companies pay taxes, not individual persons. They do not pay for their wealth. And that must be changed.
If I finish my term and have inflation down to a single digit, I will be very happy. That's four years of hard work.
It's very hard to describe an elected government as a dictatorship.
I have pride in my son, how can I not be proud?
When you affect consumption, production falls, and when production falls, employment falls and when unemployment rises, it affects poverty.
