ARGENTINE FOREIGN POLICY; 09/20/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Major international stories today include the implications of 
yesterday's attack on Lebanon; First Lady/Senator and presidential 
candidate Cristina Kirchner's economic agenda; and expected changes 
in Argentina's foreign policy. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "A scenario with too many actors" 
 
Leading "Clarn" (09/20) carries an opinion piece by its 
international columnist Paula Lugones, who writes "Lebanon has 
always been the battlefield for regional confrontations and for the 
settlement of disputes among major powers... Yesterday's attack is 
not an exception to the rule. It occurred only a few days before a 
crucial leader will be elected both for neighboring countries and 
the West. The US and Israel want an anti-Syrian president who will 
put an end to Hezbollah's growing clout. Obviously enough, Syrians 
want a loyal government, just like Iran, an ally of Damascus and 
Lebanese Shiites. 
 
"The attack occurred in the context of escalating threats of war 
between Tehran and the West. In this regard, the car-bomb that 
murdered the anti-Syrian deputy is a devastating message for the 
region, and an alert signal to any attempt to form a democratic and 
independent government in Lebanon." 
 
- "Cristina's agenda includes public service rates and a 'light' 
deal with the IMF" 
 
Daniel Fernndez Canedo, senior editor of leading "Clarn," comments 
(09/20) "... The IMF is analyzing a new credit line (RAL) that could 
be the key to Argentina's reaching a deal aimed at renegotiating its 
six-billion-dollar debt with the Paris Club... 
 
"This credit line has an advantage for the (Argentine) Government - 
it does not include IMF monitoring, which President Kirchner 
considers unacceptable. 
 
"... The Argentine Government has already begun delineating the 
economic steps forward in a future government led by Cristina 
Kirchner. And one of them, which the Government considers a 
priority, is reaching a deal with the Paris Club. 
 
"Until now, an important obstacle was that any deal with the Paris 
Club calls for IMF approval... and Kirchner does not want even to 
talk about an IMF program. 
 
"However, a future Cristina administration could include such a deal 
and the country reportedly already fulfills the main conditions 
-there is no immediate need for using the money; the country has 
implemented sound macro-economic policies...; its public debt has a 
schedule of payment that can be met; and the country must prove 
transparency in its statistical data. 
 
"The Government believes it easily meets the first three criteria, 
and, although no one mentions it, it is aware that its credibility 
on statistics, is very low due to the crisis at INDEC, the national 
statistics agency. 
 
"Another unwritten point is that the IMF bureaucracy is deeply 
mistrustful of Argentine promises. 
 
"In addition to the resumption of the Paris Club debt negotiations, 
the public service rates issue is one of the first initiatives that 
will be undertaken. 
 
"(The Government) is planning to significantly reduce subsidies for 
energy generation and transport. 
 
"Some estimates are that public service rates could be increased by 
15 percent starting in February, which could allo for a 50-percent 
reduction in electrical subsidies. 
 
"... As a matter of fact, the Government wants to make Cristina 
appear more austere than Nestor. The message the Government wants to 
convey is that after one year of almost 50 percent increases in 
public expenditure, next year's public expenditures will only 
increase by 25 percent or less." 
 
- "The tragedy of a country that does not solve its problems" 
 
Joaqun Morales Sol, political analyst of daily-of-record "La 
Nacisn," opines (09/20) "... According to a reliable source from the 
Argentine Government, the Kirchner administration and a future 
government led by Cristina Kirchner, will make some changes to the 
 
country's foreign policy. The list of friendly countries includes 
three priority nations - Germany, Spain and the US. 
 
"The country's new (foreign) policy is focused on the need to reach 
a deal for the repayment of the Paris Club debt. The same source 
said 'If one has to have friends in the world, then one should look 
for them among the powerful.' Germany is the country that has most 
emphasized the need for Argentina to repay its Paris Club debt. 
Washington could veto any unorthodox solution of the problem, even 
the one that the Government has already started to negotiate with... 
Dominique Strauss-Kahn. And Spain is important because the EU does 
not decide anything about Latin America without Madrid's approval. 
 
"... In the US, any debt negotiation should be approved by Congress. 
The US Congress will hardly accept a renegotiation that does not 
include an assessment of the IMF. The problem is more complicated, 
then, than the Kirchner administration's easy optimism..."
