New York, September 25 (RHC-NNN) -- Argentinian President Cristina Fernández has accused holdout investors of committing “economic terrorism” and reiterated her wish for a multi-lateral framework to regulate sovereign debts.

Addressing the United Nations 69th General Assembly, the Argentinean head of state said: “Terrorists are not only those placing bombs. Terrorists are also those who cause misery, poverty and hunger.”

“The vulture funds threaten and attack with actions against our country's economy, causing rumors, mistrusts and outright lies,” she told the UN General Assembly. “It is almost a type of economic and financial terrorism.”

In another part of her 35-minute speech, Cristina Fernandez reaffirmed her country's support for an independent Palestinian state. She also questioned countries like the United States, which criticized the Argentinian memorandum of understanding with Iran, for attacking groups such as Islamic State, which Washington had previously used against Syria.

Later, Cristina Fernandez addressed the UN Security Council were Argentina is a non-permanent member, and questioned the violent way in which terrorism is being fought, although adhering to the Council's resolution to fight ISIS.

“Where do ISIS and Al-Qaeda get their guns? Yesterday’s freedom fighters are today’s terrorists,” the president stated, blasting U.S. foreign policy. “They have created a monster, and now they can't control the monster.”

“We have to find a way to fight terrorism without forgetting human rights,” she said and stressed that the UN has to regain its leadership in this matter.
