The mayor of Quilmes, Mayra Mendozaaffirmed this Thursday that the vice president Cristina Kirchner decided “not to be a candidate” to prevent the front of all have a “condemned” candidate for the Presidency in 2023 and remarked that the alleged trip to Lago Escondido by judges, officials and directors of Grupo Clarín is “very serious” and constitutes a “risk for democracy”.
“Cristina took the definition of not being a candidate so as not to submit to a political force that is pointed out with the finger of having a condemned candidate“, indicated Mendoza in an interview with Somos Radio AM 530, the station of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.
For the mayor of Quilmes, the vice president also generated with her resignation “the possibility” of working on the “purification” of a Judiciary “that acts as a Judicial Party.”
“There is a judiciary that did not allow the people to have Cristina president”Mendoza stressed, adding that by not being a candidate, “a new scenario, a new stage” was generated.
after meeting the condemnatory verdict of the trial of the road case and the speech in which Fernández de Kirchner stated that she will not be a “candidate for anything” in the 2023 elections, the vice president participated in a meeting with FdT leaders and officials of which the Quilmes mayor gave details.
“He told us that each one of us has a marshal’s baton in backpackthat we take it out and Let’s take charge of representing this political projectMendoza explained.
In this sense, he reflected: “We must create the necessary areas to generate discussions and find a synthesis of what we are going to do to guarantee the continuity of national and popular governments to stop the advance of the right.”
On the other hand, Mendoza repudiated the alleged trip of four judges, officials, such as the Buenos Aires Minister of Security and Justice Marcelo D’Alessandro, and directors of Grupo Clarín to the residence of British magnate Joe Lewis in Lago Escondido.
“It cannot be that we only mention that it is a scandal, that it is tremendous and that it is very serious, but that something has to happen. It cannot continue as if nothing had happened,” he stressed. He considered that it was a “mafia network” that is part of “a nucleus” that is embodied in the “persecution of popular leaders.”
“Next year we celebrate 40 years of the advent of democracy and we have to give ourselves room to think. We have had the opportunity to vote after the military dictatorship and elect our government, but real power in Argentina continues to be managed by civilian accomplices of the dictatorship,” said Mendoza.
And he added: “They own large media outlets that generate meaning, that build subjectivity and that they do everything to the detriment of the people because they persecute and want to eliminate the representatives of the people.”
