Isn't the IMF supposed to have access to its members' books, to audit them? Didn't the CFK administration refuse this access? Is the Macri administration allowing the IMF to audit the finances of their government?

I doubt if the Frog crookess (still delaying the inevitable jail term for giving millions to her dentist boyfriend) is really bothered about auditing the new administration, it would only cast an 'unwarranted' shadow over what is clearly the new government attempting to get things sorted out, despite the 14M Peronista / Ks doing their best to derail it.

The IMF KNEW TMBOA was a serial liar and a crookess of unimaginable proportions and still allowed IMF loans!

Somehow I doubt the United States or France hands it's books to the IMF. Why should anyone else.

Somehow I doubt that the US or France have been accurately accused of the sort of egregious and deliberately massive falsification of economic statistics that characterised the CFK government and made it the laughingstock among its sister nations of the Third World.

Perhaps the Kepi Troll can point to some evidence of the sort of deliberate massive falsification by France and the US of economic statistics, as was the practice of the CFK INDEC.
