In that sense, he indicated that his parents, the former presidents “Néstor (Kirchner) and Cristina (Fernández) never trembled when it came to defending the workers.”
“Let’s have the will so that the political debates face society. I ask them to get involved, to participate. We need the people to recover purchasing power,” Kirchner remarked when speaking at the Eva Perón Museum, where this homage that had a strong female presence from Buenos Aires Peronism.
“We cannot let them confront each other, what needs to be raised is wages and not break the solidarity between those who have registered work and those who do not”remarked the main referent of the La Cámpora group.

“Evita lived and acted with a transforming vocation. We always tend to associate Eva with passion, the heart, but there was the intelligent, cerebral Eva, creator of the feminine PJ, there is the one with the spirit of the 1949 Constitution with parental authority, a theme that former President Raúl Alfonsín took up in 1985. That Eva must also be remembered”pondered.
The legislator recalled that “until 1945 the leaders of Peronism were unknown but there was a unit that gave it a ceiling and was built by the people.”
“It was a town that was tired of not having rights and being mistreated. Proof of this was what they did with Eva’s body, what is called the Liberating Revolution and for us it is the ‘Fusiladora'”.
He pointed out that “we always hear in the media that the great problem in this country is Peronism, but it is the movement that has received the most hate in this country. Not only in Eva’s body, but in thousands of bodies of comrades and missing companions.
“I always heard in my grandmother a hint of frustration that this country was not going to grant rights again and as of May 25, 2003 we were able to start trying to live from what they told us and be able to extend it to the present,” added the president. of the Buenos Aires PJ.

“Life has given me a lot and not because I saw Néstor and Cristina president and president, but because I saw that when you govern you can do things, go forward and because they never trembled to defend the workers” , he pointed.
For his part, Kicillof stressed that the Eva Perón Museum, which was under the purview of the municipality of General Viamonte, once again became dependent on the Province, and maintained that “it is a great satisfaction, a task accomplished.”
“Evita and her birthplace cannot be municipal or provincial, Evita is from the people, she is universal, there is no place, corner of this world where our Eva Perón is not present,” he added, noting that “we evoke Evita for many things but above all for his mercy and his vocation for rights”.
Kicillof stressed that “Evita opened a path in her own right, as a political leader she conquered the women’s vote, she opened a party. It is for her task and her work that we remember her today”.
The governor pointed out: “Those who do not share our flags do not understand why we vindicate Evita, as if loving her and keeping her in mind were a whim and they forget her immense work.”
“He turned what was called charity into a right and today I come to reaffirm that for the government of the province of Buenos Aires where there is a need, there is a right and where there is a right there is an obligation of those of us who have responsibilities. Nobody can forget of why we won the elections. It was to assert those rights,” he said.
The vice president of the PJ and vice governor of Buenos Aires, Verónica Magario, said that “Evita was the voice of (Juan Domingo) Perón, because she represented the people” and remarked: “She gave us the most important legacy to women. The voice and the vote. Because until then we did not exist.
“She gave the elderly the right, retirement, protection for children and the rights of workers. We Peronists have to stand by our people, we must recover wages for our people,” he said.
The lieutenant governor remarked: “Today our people need us, it is time for us to stand up to defend them. I want to see the militants walking, going through neighborhood by neighborhood, giving this country and this province what it deserves. We are going to put more force than never and in 2023 we will win”.

The mayor of Moreno and vice president of the Buenos Aires PJ, Mariel Fernández, said that “Evita left us the message that we could dream, that we should not leave it in the hands of those who did not defend our interests, of the oligarchs, of foreign capital.”
The community chief called for the unity of the space by indicating that “in no way can our difference hand over the presidential chair to a liberal, to the Argentine right”,
“Every time they are a government, they close the factories and people are left without work. We need that in 2023 we can keep the Peronist government to be able to continue fighting for social justice as Evita taught us,” he pointed out.
