While addressing the nation from the Buenos Aires stock exchange floor, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner assured that as the country readies to pay the nearly $2.2 billion Boden 2012 debt, “we reach the end of a historic cycle” as it puts an end to the infamous corralito. She insisted, however, that “this isn’t a reason to celebrate, but to reflect,” and defended her administration’s restrictions on currency exchange.
