Macri said that he never meant to say that Argentina would be growing in the second half of the year. During an interview with daily La Nación he said that the idea that the second semester would be the end of Argentina’s economic strife was a “misunderstanding” by the media that was blown out of proportion. “[The media] said that I said that the second semester would be like a party [for Argentina]. Macri isn’t the only government official to make comments on the second semester. In May, Vice President Gabriela Michetti started comparing the second semester to a tunnel in which the light at the end would become clear.
