Things like this used to be the job of the IMF, stepping in when there were genuine crisis, in theory with experts advising or demanding policy changes to prevent further crisis.

But it seems the crisis here is all self inflicted and the bail out is politically motivated. Is the expectation that after Sunday this won’t be needed and things will stabilized or is this structural and we’ll be on the hook holding the Peso’s peg forever?
