Héctor Rogelio Torres
Héctor Rogelio Torres is a prominent Argentine diplomat and former director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), known for his critical views on government policies. Recently, he garnered media attention after publicly questioning the Argentine government's decision to purchase F-16 fighter jets, suggesting they were outdated and referring to them as 'chatarra' (junk). His remarks, made during a time when the government was showcasing the aircraft, led to a public reprimand from Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, who reminded Torres of his responsibilities as a diplomat. Despite the controversy, Torres clarified that his comments reflected a personal sentiment rather than a formal critique of the government's foreign policy.
