President Cristina Kirchner made her first public appearance in nearly a month after recovering from an intestinal infection. She emphasized the importance of reaching a fair and legal agreement with all creditors, without succumbing to extortion. Argentina plans to negotiate with the 7% of creditors who rejected previous debt restructurings. Currently, legal constraints prevent Buenos Aires from negotiating, and a New York court has blocked debt payments, leading to a selective default. Kirchner criticized the 'vulture funds' for their extortionate tactics. Following her recovery, Kirchner will gradually resume duties and plans to attend UNASUR meetings in Ecuador but not the events in Mexico.
