The Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, affirmed this Thursday that he felt “disgust” for the criticism that the head of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, made to the security operation that the Buenos Aires government arranged last Saturday in the vicinity of the home of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner , in the neighborhood of Recoleta, and assessed that some leaders of Together for Change (JxC) “are looking for a dead person.” The minister’s statements are added to that of other officials and leaders linked to the ruling party who questioned the persecution, both judicial and political, aimed at the vice president.
“It disgusts me because what they are looking for is a dead person and I do not have that vocation. We do not use force. I don’t believe in that and I think that talking can solve the issues. I have been in management for a year and we have shown it. We don’t have the need to hit anyone,” Fernández told Futuröck radio.
And in that sense, he added: “If they are looking for that, it is because they assume that there is a segment of Argentine society as right as they like to hurt others.”
Bullrich referred this week to the deployment that the Buenos Aires Police carried out last Saturday in the Juncal and Uruguay area and criticized the decision to remove the fence that had been set up in that place at night, stressing that JxC “cannot being so weak” in the face of Kirchnerism.
“They compete to see who is more undemocratic”
The Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, lamented that the opposition “is in a kind of competition to see who is more undemocratic” and maintained that, “As the electoral campaign approaches” ahead of next year’s presidential elections, “they decided to use a part of the related judiciary, which works in tandem with the media.”
In this framework, he called on the opposition to discuss “what they want to do with the country” instead of focusing on targeting Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
“As the electoral campaign approaches, they decided to use a part of the related judiciary that works in tandem with the media,” Kicillof said in statements made to radio station La Brújula, in the city of Bahía Blanca.
There, the provincial president insisted that, in the presentation of his argument in the trial for public works in Santa Cruz, prosecutors Diego Luciani and Sergio Mola “did not have a single piece of evidence” and remarked that they are all “instruments of persecution rather poor and sad judicial system”.
In addition, he considered that what happened on Saturday in the vicinity of the home of the Vice President It was “a provocation again” that “wants to generate macrismo”.
“If this is how the campaign that Together for Change wants to set up, which it already did in 2015 and many people ended up voting for (Mauricio) Macri, because the rest were supposedly jets, and in 2019 they did it again and now they want to do it again, why don’t we discuss, better, what they want to do with the country,” exhorted Kicillof in the interview.
In similar lines, the head of Buenos Aires Advisors, Charles Whitewho affirmed that “the persecution of Cristina is one more onslaught of anti-Peronism, which has occurred in Argentina since the beginning of Justicialism as a political force.”
Speaking to Radio Provincia, Bianco considered that The Vice President suffers persecution “in different chapters of a general process of political, judicial and media persecution that occurred in Argentina from the government of Mauricio Macri in Nation and María Eugenia Vidal in the province.”
Likewise, he warned that in the Buenos Aires territory they point against “Mario Secco (mayor of Ensenada) and at a national level against Cristina Fernández.”
“It is nothing that surprises us Peronists because Since the irruption of General Juan Domingo Perón, we have been subjected to all kinds of persecution and attempts at proscription. The right always dreams of Peronism disappearingBianco pointed out.
“Those who call themselves Republicans trample on the National Constitution”
Aníbal Ibarra, former head of the Buenos Aires Executive, also joined the questioning of the actions of the Buenos Aires security forces last Saturday by pointing out that the head of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta “is a kind of slap in the face to the Constitution Nacional” and considered it a paradox that “those who call themselves republicans trample on” the Magna Carta.
In dialogue with the radio station AM750, the lawyer and former head of the Buenos Aires Government, maintained that “The City is autonomous but it has to respect the National Constitution” and considered that Rodríguez Larreta “believes he has the authority to do whatever he wants as if he were the owner” of CABA.
“They fill their mouths with republicanism but they pass the National Constitution anywhere,” said Ibarra, who considered that “what happened” with the national deputy Máximo Kirchner, who was prevented from accessing his mother’s home “is a lack of respect for elective positions” sealed in the Magna Carta.
Finally criticized what he considered the “violence of the PRO leaders, where they play to see who is more violent, more provocative, who goes further to the right”but considered that “the most worrying thing” is that “there is a society that buys this”.
“If Patricia Bullrich runs him from the right (Rodríguez Larreta) it shows that there is a portion of society that is looking for and wants this,” he said.
