Economy Minister Sergio Massa declined to comment on the possibility of being a presidential candidate in this year’s elections, and spoke against the idea of holding primaries in the Frente de Todos ruling coalition. “Exposing in primary elections whether the government has differences or not seems to me like a very serious mistake,” the minister said during the annual summit of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Argentina (Amcham Argentina). Massa said that the “last welding” on the Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline will be done on Friday. Massa also referred to Argentina’s program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF.) In March 2022, Argentina signed an agreement renegotiating the US$ 44 billion debt former President Mauricio Macri acquired in 2018.
