Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner shared a video on her social networks on Thursday in which the Bolivian President, Luis Arce, expressed his support and accompaniment after the conviction against him for the Roads case and affirmed that “he will not bow to a warrior of the people”.
“Proscription: President Luis Arce and a very correct reading of reality. In 2 minutes and 51 unmissable seconds, he explains without euphemisms the objective of the Judicial Mafia in your country, the Argentine Republic,” the Vice President published on her Twitter account and in Instagram story, along with a video with the message of the foreign president.
In that video, Arce describes the ruling that sentenced the Vice President to six years in prison as “unfair opinion” and disqualification from holding public office and assured that “it seeks to proscribe Sister Cristina through fierce judicial and media persecution.”
“We have witnessed – adds the president – another unfortunate chapter of the instrumentalization of Justice to end leaders of Latin America and the Caribbean. The vice president presented a set of testimonies and evidence of a process that she described as a firing squad ” .
For the head of state, with the ruling “It seeks to achieve what the bullets could not: the political annihilation of Cristina and Peronism.”
“This new ‘lawfare’ intends to annihilate the right to choose and the course of a country and therefore democracy,” he considered, and maintained that the objective of “subduing, silencing and also plundering what they do not achieve in the urns”.
Arce assured that “what the right does not know is that a warrior of the people (as Cristina is) never outlaws her ideals or her struggles” because “her strength comes from the people.”
“A warrior of the people like Cristina, never outlaws. Neither she nor her ideals.” The message of the President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia @LuchoXBolivia about the unfair ruling that seeks to proscribe @CFKArgentina. https://t.co/XtB7DuOhmM
