Right now it is a defining moment that determines the outcome of our big YPF case, Javier milei is obviously up against it with his monumental amount of very risky presidential degrees, if you're telling your voters you won't now be paying Just 15% for oil and gas and you'll be paying close to if not the full open market price to light and heat your home up then your voters will truly feel the financial pain ok, throw in much dearer groceries and it's only the wealthiest left to vote for milei, it depends if milei can show something positive and tangible to his voters to accept this financial pain, that maybe impossible in the short term,
For Burford milei and the pledging of substantial assets is another equally big hill to climb, I understand everyone here who thinks it's a smokescreen or more sickening delaying tactics, some of which could be true, but only in as much as milei's really desperate here, I genuinely believe that if milei had $16 billion or a equivalent politically unencumbered asset to pledge , then he would pledge that asset, it's difficult for milei on every front, at the same time if he wasn't up against a American court led pledging of assets determination by preska , then he wouldn't give a absolute dam about this settlement money for another few years of delaying tactic appeals, that's his legal prerogative here, but Burford has a legal prerogative here , and it's to utilise preska's January deadline pledging of assets to its maximum, and the only or best way to utilise this situation is to use the power Burford has with preska, and that is to genuinely negotiate with Burfords lawyers
So they can see the whites of their opponents eyes and separate fiction from reality and establish what exactly can both parties accept in compliance Preska's assets pledge, what we ideally want to avoid is a pledge of a tax revenue stream attached to a perpetual bond , as that can be taken away at anytime by emergency presidential degree, in other words they have us by the short and curlys, and we are dancing to their tune, yes we can sell it , but at what price ? 50% or less,
We may have no real bankable alternative to milei's perpetual bond, so it maybe some kind of other safe guard to this bond is needed, IE another country guarantees this bond / saudi Arabia or dare I say it bidens administration itself, essentially we need a guarantor for milei's plan before he gets burnt at the stake in Buenos Aires, so Burford also must help milei here, there's no use screaming for our settlement money, it's better if we work alongside milei in some way , that way he has one less enemy to deal with here. We help him he helps us, it will be a eye opening interesting new year .
just food for thought. GLA
