The libertarian leader tried to contain the impact of the weekend’s fiasco in a Monday night television interview. However, the effort backfired when parts that weren’t aired were accidentally uploaded to YouTube and subsequently deleted.
Mairi spoke for over an hour in his first public appearance since the incident, explaining that he acted in good faith in his role as a civilian, not a president. He said he simply wants to spread the word about venture companies that aim to support Argentinean businesses. However, this episode brought about a “slap in the face.”
However, the two-minute excerpt, which had not been broadcast, went smoothly online and quickly spread on social media. In the clip, Mairay appeared to suggest that he would summon the Minister of Justice for legal advice, and that he would make the state machine work on his behalf. At that point, Mairay’s most trusted adviser, Santiago Caputo, walked on screen and whispered to the president’s ear.
Jonathan Viale of Tuto Noticias stood up. “Yes, I understand, I realized this could cause judicial disruption for you,” Viare said, nodding after intervening as the camera continued to roll. “Where were we?”
In an earlier part of the clip, the laughing Viale tells Mailey that the interview questions agreed with Miley’s sister, Karina, and presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni and Caputo. Together, Mairay’s brothers and Caputo form the administration’s “iron triangle,” the president said in a previous interview.
Viale did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Investors, many of whom had stocked the situation for the first time since the US market closed on Monday, sold Argentine sovereign bonds, one of the worst performers in emerging markets, on Tuesday morning. However, some notes trimmed the decline later in the session.
In New York, American deposit receipts from some of the nation’s biggest companies, including the state’s oil giant YPF SA and lender Grupo Supervielle SA, also fell into the market before replenishing the losses.
