“Alberto Fernández’s decision shows his generosity and leaves a mark going forward,” Massa wrote on his social networks. In the same sense, she assured that “responsibility and unity is the way” and left a hashtag with the sound of an electoral slogan: “#CreoEnArgentina”.
Thus, the minister joined different officials and leaders of the Frente de Todos (FdT) who highlighted this Friday that the president’s decision implies placing “the Homeland first” and who highlighted the process of “opening and participation” that begins for the pro-government coalition, with a view to the PASO in August. Among those who sent a message to the President are Santiago Cafiero, Aníbal Fernández and Gabriela Cerrutti.
For his part, Interior Minister Wado de Pedro assured that it is “a necessary step to begin ordering Peronism,” as well as “to give it vitality and the necessary order to dream again.”
The head of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, affirmed today that Alberto “went down in history as a brave, healthy and clean man.” In addition, she stressed that he “did everything possible” to provide solutions during his government. “I received the decision with a huge surprise and trying to think if it was the best thing. The President did everything possible to rebuild and provide solutions to the pandemic and so many other emergencies that existed. What he expressed in his resignation is the journey of his history , so I believe that Alberto Fernández went down in history as a brave, healthy and clean man. They will not find anything that disturbs the Constitution and the laws, “he said in C5N.
In addition, Sergio Berni, current Minister of Security for the province of Buenos Aires, criticized the decision of the Argentine president and assured that “far from improving the situation, it made it worse.” “From the very day that Alberto Fernández took office, unfortunately I predicted that this government would end as it is doing, this was not a Peronist government and we were not going to have the expected results,” he said.
Through a video that he titled “My decision”, the Head of State affirmed that on December 10 he will deliver “the band to whoever has been legitimately elected at the polls by popular vote” and said that he will work “fervently to make it a compañero or compañera from our space that represents those for whom we continue to fight”.
The message was released “on the eve of the 20th anniversary of Néstor Kirchner’s coming to power” which will be commemorated on May 25.
