MADRID (Reuters) - Argentina's Peronist candidate for president, Alberto Fernandez, said on Thursday there was no point in having oil if international companies came to take it away, suggesting a government he led would not be friendly to foreign investors.

"There's no point in having oil if in order to extract it you have to let multinationals come and take it away," he said in remarks following a speech at the Spanish parliament in Madrid.
