The new chief of staff, Augustine Rossireferred to the condition of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in relation to her possible candidacy for the presidency and compared her to Lula Da Silva, responded to Hannibal Fernandez and ratified his support for Alberto Fernandez.
In dialogue with AM950, Rossi spoke about the vice president and stated that “It is clearly proscribed. It has a sentence in the first instance, and is disqualified from holding public office”and added that “if he had hinted before that he was going to be a candidate, it was very possible that the deadlines that remain for it to become a final judgment would occur and generate what happened in the PT in that election that Bolsonaro ended up winning.”
He also stated that “Lula ended up in prison, without a candidate, and Bolsonaro won the elections. I think that Cristina generously raises and analyzes this issue. So, de facto, the sentence ends up being a proscriptive sentence“.
In addition, he also indicated that he supports the president if he is going to seek re-election and added that “he has the right to imagine the possibility of re-election. Everywhere they ask him, and he says he wants to be a candidatebut if there are other colleagues with conditions, he says that he is going to work for that to happen because he wants the team to win front of all“.
Then, he was in charge of answering the Minister of Security, who maintained that the former president is not proscribed and that she can run as a candidate if she wants: “He is a leader of history and weight, and can say the opinions that seem to him. I reflect mine and that of those of us who were present on Thursday at the meeting we endorsed in the document that was published”.
