the vice president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner He ratified this Tuesday that he will not be a “mascot of power for any candidacy” and reiterated that “the ban” is not a person, but “of Peronism.”
“I already said it on December 6, 2022. I will not be a mascot of power for any candidacy. I have shown, like no one else, to privilege the collective project over personal location,” said the Vice President in a statement that she posted on her social networks where she stated: “As I have been arguing for a long time, it is not just about the banning of a person, but about Peronism”.
In a long letter addressed “to the compañeros and compañeras”, the vice president begins by putting a text linked to the 40 years of democracy that will be celebrated this year, but objecting that “an important part of the citizenry does not feel represented or contained in their aspirations In a Democracy that was lost economically, degraded socially, and has begun to break down politically and institutionally, what I called “democratic dissatisfaction” appears with anger and disappointment.
But the paragraph in which he refers to the expectations generated by a possible candidacy of his is later. “I am not going to enter into the perverse game that they impose on us with a democratic façade so that those same judges, perched today in Court, issue a ruling disqualifying me or directly removing any candidacy that I may hold, to leave Peronism in absolute fragility and weakness in the face of to the electoral contest. Recent events have proved me right.
And he adds that “it was not a hasty decision or a product of the moment, but a reasoned and thoughtful decision.” “I know them, I know how they think, how they act and how they are going to act. I have seen them throughout history and experienced their game firsthand and that of my family, with a persecution tied with surgical precision to the electoral calendar,” he said. .
Cristina’s definition came at a time when the PJ Congress was meeting at the Club Ferrocarril Oeste, in the Caballito neighborhood, to establish electoral strategies, where the slogan “Cristina president.
In the final section of the letter, remember that since 2016 the Judicial Party “functions as a Task Force of Together for Change and the concentrated economic groups to produce the elimination of their political adversaries. They provoke us from this façade of mutilated justice and democracy and they want us to fall into the terrain they want: violence and intolerance”. want to bring: that we have a candidacy prohibited by the Judicial Party“.
That is why he repeated what he said at the Teatro Argentino de La Plata: “It is essential -more than ever- to build a government program that makes Argentine men and women fall in love again, and convince them that a better country is not only possible but also desirable. A government program that is necessary not only for Peronism, but for the democratic system as a whole.”
Before that, in a long letter, the vice president talks about the agreement with the IMF and the bi-monetary nature of the Argentine economy, the concentration of income and the growth of poverty and the consequences of the pandemic: “We did not come out better”, sentenced.
And he spoke of the attack he suffered on September 1st. “Surprisingly, after the frustrated assassination, those groups that organized and weekly lashed out, scolded and threatened, disappeared as if by magic. This confirms without a doubt, the premeditated nature and lacking any hint of spontaneity of the political violence of these groups. They were encouraged and financed by the opposition and the hegemonic media guaranteed them extensive media coverage.”
“‘The bullet that didn’t come out and the bug that will come out’ was the headline of the newspaper Clarín, of Hector Magnetto, the main powerhouse for disseminating hatred towards me and my family,” recalled the vice president. And she described that headline as “a kind of regret for the failure of the assassination, but anticipating the ruling that a few days later exponents of the Judicial Party would dictate in my against and whose condemnatory result I publicly announced three years before when the trial known as the public work of National Highway began. The conviction and disqualification in said cause has a single political and electoral translation: the proscription”.
It was then that he said: “As I have been maintaining for a long time, it is not just a question of the banning of a person, but of Peronism. Although some, out of pettiness or mediocrity, denied it by resorting to legal technicalities, reality once again confirmed it”.
