It is Diego Bossio, the former K official who led AnSeS between 2009 and 2015, who questioned whether “between roosters and midnightThe decision to weigh “the bonds in dollars of the ANSeS Sustainability Guarantee Fund (FGS) has been made public”.
“They say it’s to stabilize the economy, but they are playing roulette with the savings of workers and future retirees Argentines,” Bossio underlined through an extensive Twitter thread.
In backing up his claim, he said that “the accumulation of public debt in USD has been key for the FGS to get through the recurring devaluations without damaging your assets.

For the economist, “what the government is doing is borrow at a rate of more than 25% in dollars” and criticized that “instead of managing responsibly, they are speculating with the assets of retirees”.
Bossio’s criticisms are added to those of the entire opposition, from Together for Change to the left.
“Massa’s biggest betrayal is handing over dollar funds from the retirement fund. And it’s the best deal for the banks, and all for two or three days of calm,” Elisa Carrió asked on Twitter.
And he continued: “Everyone needs to we put protective actions to reveal the intricate nature of the finance minister, a serial swindler.”
The opposition came out at the crossroads of the Minister of Economy, who launched a combination of measures a focus on the management of dollar bonds in the hands of the public sector and contain the escalation of the dollar.
The Ministry of the Economy, through a decree, obliges public bodies to dispose of their holdings in bonds denominated in dollars, both those with foreign legislation (global) and those with local legislation (AL).
