In this context, the leader of the Frente de Todos specified: “Beyond the obscene jokes or chicanes that often arise around these issues, it is essential for Argentina that all political leaders and entrepreneurs do their best to ensure that tubing be a problem that we can see with a look big and not with a small and chic look “.

“The tubes are already purchased by Techint. The controversy arose because it looked like it could be bought by another Argentine company, but it’s a company that produces something totally different. From there, those who have a look more electoral politician on the agenda of topics of this type they raised another scavenger thing and less intelligent about it of who could produce this type of steel pipes in Argentina seamlessly, “said Massa.
