Argentina’s presidential front-runner Alberto Fernandez criticized his opponent, incumbent Mauricio Macri, for increasing short-term debt to unsustainable levels, although he said he doesn’t want to default on the country’s obligations.
One day after a primary election victory that put him on track to win the presidency in the October election, Fernandez said the country needs to change its economic model, without offering a clear alternative. The agribusiness sector isn’t selling enough grains to bring in enough dollars, he said.
