On TV show Zona I, economist Martín Tetaz questioned Moreno on the way he handled inflation during the Kirchner administration, while he was domestic trade secretary. Domestic Trade Secretary Guillermo Moreno was once again the subject of controversy last night when he insulted an economist on live television and tried to have him expelled from the set. The IMF fined the Government for farcical statistics, and publications like The Economist stopped using its numbers entirely. He became the face of the much-questioned INDEC statistics bureau and his name is synonymous with misreporting inflation numbers. I believe I should have told him to leave, because we can’t have anyone act like that toward someone,” she said.
