UNITED
NATIONS,
June 25 --
When
Argentina's
foreign
minister
Héctor
Timerman held
a press
conference at
the UN at 6 pm
on June 25, it
came after he
and Economy
Mininster Axel
Kicillof
presented
Argentina's
case against
hedge funds to
the Group of
77. Tweeted

Inner
City Press
thanked the
ministers on
behalf of the
Free
UN Coalition
for Access,
then asked if
Elliott
Management and
Aurelius
Capital
hold stakes in
other G77
members, and
if the case
shows the need
for
reform, that
countries
should have at
least the same
debt
restructuring
rights as
corporations.
Kicillof
added,
states and the
people (pueblos)
they
represented.
He said that
in the G77
meeting, Peru
had spoken. An
attentive
Inner City
Press
reader chimed
in with a
question about
Ecuador, which
sold bonds
just
this week.
But
in that case,
new language
tried to avoid
the Argentina
decision of
the US Supreme
Court, just as
Belize and
Armenia have
also done on
their debt.
Kicillof was
returning to
Buenos Aires
after the
press
conference;
Timerman will
still be in
New York for
another media
availability
on June 26 at
1 pm. Watch
