The two-minute and 57-second video began with a phrase by former president Mauricio Macri in Madrid last October, where he indicated that Argentina “clearly must be the most failed society in the last 70 years.”

And he replied: “Every day the sons and daughters of the country make a better Argentina driven by the strength of our history, which is a history of collective victories, of dreams realized, of social justice, of national pride in all parts of the world.” world”.

On these foundations of economic growth and the development of the productive forces is that we can project new horizons”.
And with other management images, he continued: “Today’s Argentina works to grow. It provides more rights every day, it does not take them away. It does social justice, it does not hold social meetings with Justice. It builds the future, never criticizes collective achievements: the celebrates”.

We are proud of this Argentina that we inhabit and that we build every day,” added Fernández. “The same people who want to take over the country want to discourage us by talking about our history as a failure, those who do not appreciate democracy, those who want a country for the few, without public health, without education, with a Justice that serves the powerful and without rights for those who work”, he said, and attached images of the attempted assassination of the Vice President, a photograph of Macri with former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and a video of the police repression during the Cambiemos government.

I am convinced that it will be a turning point that It will allow us to face each day with more optimism,” he added. And he completed: “I believe in the Argentine people. I believe in my people.
