The ex-president Mauricio Macri highlighted this Friday the presidency of Carlos Saúl Menem by pointing out that the former La Rioja president “every day will be more vindicated with the passage of time”which generated a reply from different referents of the Civic Coalition and the UCR, their partners within the Together for Change coalition.
“The one who had solved the problems of the crack in Argentina was President Menem, who will be vindicated every day with the passage of time”Macri assured today when speaking with Radio Miter Córdoba.
“He came with a modern Peronismtrying to unite Argentines behind the production, employment and peaceful progress of Argentina, and these people have systematically preached hate speech again,” said Macri, comparing Menemism with Kirchnerism.
Given these statements, the governor of the province of Jujuy and president of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), Gerardo Moraleswent out to crossing of the former president when highlighting his “I reject the neoliberal policies implemented by Menemism”.
We reject the neoliberal policies implemented by Menemism in the 90s that some voices of Argentine politics claim today.
These measures destroyed our productive apparatus, made us poorer and ended the hope of our people.

“We reject the neoliberal policies implemented by Menem in the ’90s that some voices of Argentine politics claim today,” Morales said from his Twitter account.
The president of the UCR considered, on the other hand, that the measures adopted by the menemismo “destroyed our productive apparatus, made us poorer and ended the hope of our people.”
For his part, the head of the Civic Coalition bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, Juan Manuel López, asked on Twitter not to forget that, “with Menem, the institutional degradation also began, which does not allow us to grow either” and recalled that, “between other things, he founded a corrupt Judiciary, expanding the Court and Commodore Py, and deepened the degradation of the intelligence services”.
It probably is, but let’s not forget that Menem also began the institutional degradation that doesn’t let us grow either.
Among other things, he founded a corrupt Judiciary by expanding the Court and Comodoro Py and deepened the degradation of the intelligence services. https://t.co/jq1SIpVGz9– Juan Manuel López (@JuanmaLopezAR) March 25, 2022
Another national deputy of the Civic Coalition, Mariana Zuvic, also stated on social networks that Menem will be remembered “as a thief”, stating that “he blew up a town, covered up an attack, trafficked weapons to Ecuador and Croatia”.
By thief!
He blew up a town, covered up an attack, trafficked weapons to Ecuador and Croatia. #Memory Sir, without her there will be no justice. And there is no more place for Argentina of the impunity pacts. https://t.co/7jCOLAqKFB– Mariana Zuvic (@MarianaZuvic) March 25, 2022
“#Memoria Sr, that without it there will be no justice. And there is no more room for Argentina in impunity pacts,” Zuvic reacted to Macri’s praise for Menem’s management in the presidency of the Nation, between the years 1989 and 1999.
