VOICED: Argentina acusa a Repsol

The transcript discusses Argentina's expropriation of the oil company YPF, highlighting the government's defense against criticism and accusations towards Repsol for financial mismanagement. Axel Kicillof, a key figure in the expropriation, argues that Repsol failed to meet investment commitments, leading to production declines and increased debt.
