The United States candidate for the presidency of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Mauricio Claver-Carone, criticized today the “obstacle tactic” led by Argentina to postpone the elections scheduled for September, which he described as a “minority” and “equated steal the ball before the end of the game. “
“The vast majority of the region was in favor. And now a minority seeks to push an obstacle tactic to postpone the elections and hijack the process,” Claver-Carone told a news conference, while arguing that 17 countries in the region have publicly shown themselves to favor of holding the elections on their date and only four seek a postponement.
