Rorshok Argentina Update

Argentina Update – 23rd of September, 2021

Rorshok's weekly ten-minute update on the happenings in Argentina. Four days after Frente de Todos’ unfavourable results in the primary elections, Interior Minister Eduardo de Pedro offered his resignation, arguing that the government should listen to the verdict given by the electorate. Pedro’s resignation quickly prompted others to do the same. By Monday, President Fernández found himself swearing in a new Cabinet that includes replacements for four ministers — Security; Livestock, Agriculture & Fisheries; Education and Science & Technology — as well as a new Secretary of Communication and Press and a new Cabinet Chief. Due to the crisis, President Fernández cancelled his visit to Mexico for the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. He did, however, take time to participate via videoconference in the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate Change of G20 countries organized by United States President Joe Biden. During the session, President Fernández devoted much of his time to complaining about the unsustainable debt of 57 billion dollars owed to the IMF. Lastly, an Argentine company, Sinergium Biotech, was chosen by the World Health Organization through the Pan American Health Organization to develop and produce vaccines against Covid-19. Like Moderna and Pfizer, the vaccine will use messenger RNA technology, and another laboratory in Brazil was selected for the same project. Three Cheers for Science in the Land of Silver!
