LA PLATA.- The president of the Frente de Todos bloc of the Chamber of Senators of the province of Buenos Aires, Teresa Garciadescribed the judicial sentence against the vice president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner as “a strategy to weaken the institutions of democracy”. She went further: she spoke of “a parallel state. A system for the state, which threatens the institutions. A mafia system.”
“Sometimes they appeared with tanks, with weapons, with other types of persecution. They have been polished. And the forms have been improving, but they are still so perverse in the background, ”said García.
Surrounded by senators and deputies from the ruling party, García referred to the sentence to the vice president Cristina Kirchner of six years in prison and disqualification from holding public office as “absurd, inconsistent”, and opined that the vice president “is for the only person who dedicated herself to confronting power.”
“Let’s not forget how Néstor’s government began: fighting that parastatal and mafia system, he compared.” And he said: “What has happened to us is not a legal issue. Nor political, strictly. What appears are economic interests. Sometimes they appeared with tanks, with weapons, with persecutions of another kind. They have been polished. And the forms have been improving but they are still so perverse in the background ”.
At his side, the lieutenant governor Veronica Magario He assured: “The persecution of popular leaders is a historical issue. This new format where a sector of the Judiciary – those who are dedicated to persecuting those of us who try to change the lives of Argentines – is no coincidence.
“It is time for us Argentines to turn this story around. We are going to defend the popular leaders. This ruling has been unfair. It is time to unite: the people and leaders to say enough to economic power. And give way to the rights of our people”, added the former mayor of La Matanza.
The president of the Chamber of Deputies of the province of Buenos Aires, Federico OterminHe opined: “They seek to discipline Peronism. They attack Cristina because they can’t buy her, because she doesn’t sell herself, because they can’t threaten her. She was put a revolver on national chain and she stood before thousands of people. There is no way that power can discipline her.”
While the head of the bloc of Deputies of the Front of All, Cesar Valicenti, said: “There are mafia power factors in Argentina that condition the public sectors. He tries to discipline with fear, with preventive detention. That is the democracy that is lived today in Argentina and in the province of Buenos Aires”.
