Just a few hours after Alberto Fernandez communicated his decision to step down from re-election – and while most national officials echoed his statements – Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro publicly issued the first message of Cristina Kirchner after the news
It was in the PJ Congress carried out this Friday in Santiago del Estero where the Minister of the Interior, who is one of the closest to the Vice President, was in charge of playing an audio that CFK had sent him privately minutes before he went on stage.
It was a voice note that was far from the statements that, in parallel, other pro-government leaders were making, who echoed the decision recently communicated by the head of state.
