The IMF officials met with Treasury Minister Hernan Lacunza, who was just installed in that position on Tuesday, and central bank President Guido Sandleris, according to the Treasury Ministry statement. Macri was trounced in the primary election on Aug. 11 by Fernandez, who is now the front runner for the October presidential election. Center-left Peronist Fernandez has criticized the $57 billion standby agreement Macri struck with the IMF in 2018, pledging to “rework” the deal if elected.
Macri appeared only briefly on Saturday afternoon, saluting fans in Buenos Aires´ historic Plaza de Mayo, and joining in chants of “Yes, we can,” his now-familiar campaign slogan. Supporters launched similar gatherings in large cities throughout Argentina.
