Abstract

On December 15, 2005, President Néstor Kirchner announced the full payment of the debt that Argentina had with the International Monetary Fund for a total of 9810 million dollars. The measure was tangible acceleration of what was officially termed as “política de desendeudamiento” which was to pay the debt gradually to international organizations and deploy strong renegotiations take away to holders of financial securities. Given the unpredictability of the fact that it was part of a restructuring also unprecedented, historic magnitude of this expenditure and generating symbolic dimension to emerge from the conditionalities imposed by the IMF to the local economy, the political event triggered a powerful impact on public opinion public. For Página/12 allows us to analyze the emergence of economic discourse in the press as part of a display of argumentative strategies that, to some extent, controversy deepened the internal dimension. What in the immediate rebuild a debate fades in realignment of media coverage. We speak of three argumentative structures: por la soberanía, por la continuidad y por el futuro.
