The Chief of Cabinet, Guillermo Francos, criticized radical deputy Facundo Manes for his actions during the Opening of the Legislative Assembly. Francos accused Manes of attempting to conduct political campaigning by bringing a proposal regarding the constitutionality of an institutional act to the Chamber, which caused outrage among those present in Congress. Francos described Manes' attitude as rehearsed and out of place, especially since all four members of the Supreme Court were present at the event.
At another point in the interview, Francos referred to Domingo Cavallo and his opinions on a possible devaluation that could jeopardize support for the Government. He stated that, while respecting Cavallo's views, he also acknowledges that he can be mistaken and that the appointment of García Mansilla was constitutionally valid. Francos considered it ridiculous for a deputy to question the constitutionality of that appointment.
Regarding the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the official announced that there would be news in the coming days and highlighted the praise from the subdirector of the organization, Gita Gopinath, towards Argentina. Francos pointed out that Gopinath's support is enlightening about the future of the agreement. Lastly, he celebrated the comments from U.S. President Donald Trump, suggesting moving towards a Free Trade Agreement.
In conclusion, Guillermo Francos' stance on Facundo Manes' actions, his statements on Domingo Cavallo and the agreement with the IMF, as well as his comments on a possible free trade agreement, were the main topics addressed during the interview.
