Deuda
EE.UU. presenta un nuevo escrito en el juicio por el default
El gobierno de la Argentina y el de Estados Unidos trabajaron ayer, en forma paralela, para presentar mañana sendos escritos ante la Corte de Apelaciones de Nueva York.
Mientras el Gobierno analizaba cómo incluir de la manera más sutil posible la posibilidad de reabrir el canje de la deuda, la administración Obama reiterará que una sentencia definitiva favorable a losholdouts perjudicará futuras reestructuraciones de deuda de otros países.
Fuentes oficiales indicaron ayer a LA NACION que la defensa argentina repetirá los argumentos de crítica al criterio de "pari passu", adoptado por este tribunal en octubre pasado, cuando falló en contra del Gobierno en la demanda iniciada por "fondos buitre" y 13 minoristas argentinos.
En tanto, en su nuevo "amicus brief", el Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU., en consulta con los departamentos del Tesoro y de Estado, también advertirá sobre los riesgos para el sistema financiero de favorecer a estos demandantes por encima del 93% de acreedores que aceptó los canjes de 2005 y 2010.
El escrito norteamericano volverá a colocar el acento no tanto en defender la posición de fondo de la Argentina (de hecho, Washington le reclama al país permanentemente que pague sus deudas pendientes) sino en el potencial efecto sistémico de la sentencia.
Anoche, en Buenos Aires se avanzaba en el contacto entre el Ministerio de Economía y los abogados que representan al país en EE.UU. del estudio Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, para ver de qué manera se definía la inclusión de algunas palabras referidas a la posibilidad de reabrir el canje. La idea era hacerlo "en la forma más condicional posible", indicaron.
De hecho, en su pedido de reconsideración ante esta segunda instancia, la Argentina ya indicó que si la Cámara de Apelaciones fallara de acuerdo con lo que pide el país, el Gobierno consideraría darles una tercera oportunidad a los bonistas que siguen en default.
Al respecto, el ministro de Economía, Hernán Lorenzino, dijo hace un mes que la reapertura del canje en los términos de la operación de 2010 "iría en línea con los antecedentes jurídicos [argentinos] y sería pasible de ser debatido en el Congreso", para levantar la ley cerrojo.
La fuente oficial no quiso dar precisiones, entre otras razones, porque Economía se tomará hasta el último minuto que tiene disponible (viernes a la medianoche de Nueva York) para analizar qué permisos logra en la Casa de Gobierno para sustentar su posición jurídica.
La última novedad de la causa fue la decisión de ayer de la Corte de Apelaciones de aceptar el pedido de la casa financiera porteña Puente, que se presentó en su condición de "amigo de la corte", asesorada legalmente por el estudio jurídico Cabanellas Etchebarne Kelly.
The
government of Argentina and the United States worked yesterday, in
parallel, to present two letters tomorrow before the Court of Appeals of
New York.
While the government discussed how to include the most subtle possible the possibility of reopening the debt exchange, the Obama administration will reiterate that a final judgment in favor of the holdouts will hurt future debt restructurings in other countries.
Official sources said yesterday the NATION that the Argentina defense arguments repeated criticism of the standard of "pari passu", adopted by this Court in October, when the government ruled against the lawsuit filed by "vulture funds" and 13 retailers Argentines.
Meanwhile, in his new "amicus brief," the U.S. Justice Department, in consultation with the Departments of Treasury and State, also warn about the risks for the financial system to favor those applicants over 93 % of creditors accepted swaps 2005 and 2010.
The brief U.S. will place the emphasis not so much to defend the substantive position of Argentina (in fact, Washington constantly berates the country to pay its outstanding debts) but the potential systemic effect of the judgment.
Last night in Buenos Aires is advancing at the contact between the Ministry of Economy and the lawyers who represent the country in the U.S. the firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, to see how it is defined to include a few words regarding the possibility of reopening the swap. The idea was to do "in the conditional form possible," they said.
In fact, in its request for reconsideration before the second instance, Argentina and said that if the Court of Appeals failed to agree with what the country calls, the Government would consider giving them a third chance to bondholders that remain in default.
In this regard, the Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino said last month that the reopening of the exchange in terms of the operation of 2010 "would be in line with the legal background [Argentine] and would be liable to be debated in Congress" to lift the padlock law.The official source declined to give details, among other reasons, because economics will be taken until the last minute you have available (Friday at midnight New York) to analyze what permissions does on State House to support his legal position.
The latest addition to the cause yesterday was the decision of the Court of Appeals to accept the request of the financial house porteña Bridge, which was presented in its capacity as "friend of the court", legally advised by the law firm Kelly Cabanellas Etchebarne .
