Argentina asks U.S. to suspend sentence for hedge funds

Argentina requested this Monday the suspension of the judgment of New York Judge Thomas Griesa. This statement forces the payment of $ 1,330 million to hedge funds.

“It is essential that the judge grant this measure so Argentina can continue paying to its bondholders of the restructure normally and, thereby, carry out a dialogue we need to be on equal conditions for the hundred percent of creditors”, said Axel Kicilloff, Minister of Economy, in a brief press conference.

Griesa appointed the attorney Daniel Pollak, to preside the negotiations between the parties, according to a document to which the AFP had access.
