This Tuesday, the head of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, criticized the call of La Cámpora to mobilize on March 24 against the supposed ban on Cristina Kirchner. “The memory is of what happened on March 24, 1976 and the date of the 30,000 disappeared,” he explained while calling “not to mix” that date with “a clearly current political issue.”
in statements with FM La Patriada, Carlotto questioned that the appeal of La Cámpora is carried out simultaneously with the annual march for Memory, Truth and Justice. “On the 24th, Cristina is not going to make this demonstration because It is exclusively the memory of a coup and the disappearance of 30,000 peopleplus 500 babies born in captivity and that day is Memory, Truth and Justice,” he said.

In December, the vice president led her first act in Avellaneda after being sentenced to six years in prison for corruption in Vialidad and for the closure called to mobilize on March 24 against the “mafias and the parallel State”. “I think that a date like next year, March 24, where democracy will be 40 years old, will be a very important date for us to mobilize,” he said on that occasion.
And he added: “40 years after the recovery of democracy today we see that democracy with a parallel State, captured by the mafias. I think it is not fair for those who suffered the consequences of the dictatorship, nor for the millions of Argentines who continue to bet that democracy is the best way to live among us.”
Days after Kirchner’s appeal, Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque, general secretary of La Cámpora, said that “Cristina made a very important call for March 24 and today the militancy has to come out of that state of lethargy and certain discouragement, after going through a rather gray moment in political terms for what it can mean the disappointment of the current management, which had generated other types of expectations.
However, this Tuesday Carlotto was against the idea and remarked that The march must be done “the day before or after the 24th”.
“We cannot mix two things with a clearly current political issue, that Cristina very deservedly has to see and live it to feel better. On that day we can directly mention it (the proscription) in the document, but the memory is of what happened on March 24, 1976 and the date of the 30,000 disappeared,” he said.

Along these lines, the president of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo commented that He did not speak with the vice president about the March 24 call. “Don’t chat anything with her. Every year, those of us who organize the date are the Human Rights organizations. The government only accompanies us. The route, the document to read, the schedule and who participates is decided by the organizations as we always do “, he indicated.
However, he acknowledged that he called her to greet her on her birthday. “I just greeted her for her birthday. It wasn’t to talk about that topic. It was to give him encouragement and love,” he clarified.
Carlotto’s opinion on Cristina’s “ban”
In the radio interview, the head of Grandmothers was asked about the debate around the “proscription” of the former president to be a candidate. About, He avoided taking a position and explained that he “does not understand” the matter in its entirety.
“I’m confusedSome say yes and others say no and I do not understand why I am not at the bottom of everything they have said and done to Cristina, of wanting to kill her with all these slanders,” he said.

In that sense, alluded to the position of the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, who in the middle of the inmate of the Frente de Todos remarked that “Cristina is not banned” and that “she can be a candidate if she wants to.” “I understood that she was not proscribed and if someone like Aníbal Fernández says it, I think he says it judiciously, he is a lawyer,” she added.
Regarding the presidential candidacy of the ruling party for this year, the head of Grandmothers limited herself to saying that it is something that Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner must agree on: “Either one is going to be very good for our government.“, he evaluated.
