On the night of Thursday, September 1, the Argentine vice president was the target of an assassination attempt, an act that was repudiated by different political sectors and governments in the region.
However, in the last few hours, various publications by an official from the Uruguayan Consulate in Argentina, without directly naming Cristina Fernández, apparently mocked the attack, were disseminated through social networks.

For his part, the General Consul of Uruguay in Buenos Aires, José Luis Curbelo, confirmed to El Observador that Martínez is an official from the diplomatic headquarters.
He said that a publication he made “did not refer to anything specific, but it could be understood that he had a political opinion”, and therefore You were asked to remove the post.

In this sense, the senator of the Broad Front Daniel Caggiani said that according to an internal Circular of March 2020, foreign service officials, Uruguayans or local contractors, were ordered “to refrain from making this type of comment on social networks.”
The Frente Amplio parliamentarian remarked that “it is not enough for the comment to be downloaded, it corresponds to a sanction and even its immediate termination.”
“We await the most severe measures are taken with this officialwhich dishonors the important and committed task of the consular officials of our country in Buenos Aires”, remarked Caggiani.
