One of the most classic stories of Jorge Luis Borges es “The Aleph”, A fantastic story in which it imagines that there is a point that contains all the points of the universe. He YPF case, on which this Monday there was a judicial novelty in the United States, and the entire company’s adventures during Kirchnerism, It is a kind of Aleph where one can find the different planes and dimensions of Corruption in Argentina.
This case shows that we are not facing the systematic and repeated evidence of different episodes of corruption, but that There is a system that produces, as if it were a usina, this type of miseries. For them to occur, they must coordinate officials, businessmen and judiciary. A mixture of deliberate malice and incompetence, where one does not end up discerning if what there are is extraordinarily cunning, or too silly people, for the expensive consequences of their acts. YPF allows you to see, as no other case in the Kirchner era, this phenomenon.

Yesterday, that dark legacy acquired new validity from a last news, the order of the judge Loretta Preska to the Argentine State to detach 51% of its actions in YPF and compensate the Burford and Eton Park funds for the expropriation of YPF during the presidency of Cristina Kirchner, with the Ministry of Economy in the hands of Axel Kicillof.
Of all the fortuitous events that can bring obstacles to the economic recovery of Argentina, both external and internal, the least expected was a judicial ruling that, if fulfilled, can take one of the grandmother’s jewelry. YPF and its role in the extraction of the potential of Vaca Muerta are a central piece of the productive model of Milei Argentina, made for now of dollars of energy and mining and commodities of agriculture.
The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillofquestioned the judicial ruling issued by Judge Lorretta Presska in the trial for the expropriation of YPF, which orders Argentina to deliver 51% of the shares of the oil company. “It’s nonsense,” The president said through the social network X this Monday night.
In the same publication, he offered response to the criticism of President Javier Milei, who held him responsible for the adverse ruling. “The most dangerous thing is that the Argentine president himself chooses to put himself on the side of foreign powers and not on the side of the national interests that he must represent and protect,” he said.
