The chancellor blamed the newspapers for having "attitude destituyentes" in the presentation of a cable reserved. Said that companies are "grateful" for the efforts made by the Argentine government.
Héctor Timerman Chancellor and Secretary of American Integration and Mercosur, Eduardo Sigal, again denied the existence of a "parallel Embassy in Venezuela. "There was no trip to any officer or any ministry that has not been previously approved by the executive branch," Timerman said yesterday, after attending a tribute to the journalist Eduardo Kimel. In addition, the foreign minister's statements confirmed Sigal, in which the Foreign Ministry official warned of the "concern of two companies" asking to be included in the round of negotiations for the electric conversion program with the country of President Hugo Chávez.
After the ceremony with President Cristina Fernandez in the CELS, Timerman questioned what are considered "destituyentes attitudes" of some newspapers. "If you change the titles of Clarín and La Nación, instead of putting all this conspiracy, would that there are two cables that are quasi-public and there would be scandal, criticized the chancellor. These daily broadcast last weekend, a cable sent by the secretary to the chancellor and Sigal Venezuelan embassy to warn of a meeting of the attended by officials of the Ministry of Planning, which would have "left out of negotiations" for investment "two companies" Argentine who were working with the Caribbean country. Timerman
explained that power companies EMA cells and crane manufacturer Hidro-Grubert "are grateful to the Government on how the promoted and protected" and dismissed that these firms have been marginalized for trade with Venezuela. The chancellor said that "there were 10 companies in a meeting and said Sigal try to incorporate them into the meeting, which then could not be done because he concluded."
For Timerman, "Clarín and La Nación bother them that Argentina does business with Venezuela, which spent 100 million dollars to more than 1500 million" and clarified that "there is no parallel embassy," but that the meetings are "a technical issue." The diplomat also informed that Hidro-Grubert "sold Venezuela U.S. $ 10 million since 2005 and EMA signed before President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner an agreement to place a plant in Venezuela and sold 150 electric cells for 5 million dollars. "
In this context, the chancellor said the two companies "Can not feel discriminated against" by failing to attend a business meeting. This agreement was only room for 10 companies and they did not enter because they are changing in the various conventions.
Meanwhile, Sigal accused the media of misinterpreting the information that he had written in requesting the inclusion of these companies. "It has mounted an operation that is trying to use me against the national government," said the official, who was confirmed in office by the chancellor. Sigal said that the meeting was held alongside a meeting of the High Level Bilateral Commission (Coban) in the country Caribbean, led by "an official of the Ministry of Planning." But, unlike what has been published, said he also attended by officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On the cable appear reserved in the Chancellery, Sigal also warned that "there are areas of diplomacy that are part of a project to dent the will to transform this government." Timerman said, moreover, that these cables "have no reserved", since "the cable sent by the Embassy of Venezuela that drives the response Sigal, a cable is reserved, but over a hundred people have free access and over 500 access to a computer sitting in Chancery.
