Cristina Kirchner charged against Mauricio Macri and the media: “They even made my daughter sick”

Vice President Cristina Kirchner again pointed out her criticism of the former president Mauricio Macri on Tuesday for the laundering of 25 million dollars that his mother, Alicia Blanco Villegas, would have done through his brother Gianfranco . In addition, he blamed the media for “making” his daughter Florencia Kirchner sick. “In 2016 I published the letter ‘It’s not my mom, it’s your dad and you too’, in response to a ridiculous complaint that the Macri government had made against my mother. Well … the truth is that I fell short: it was your dad, it was you and your mom too, “stressed the head of the Senate. In her account on the social network Twitter, the vice president echoed a note from the newspaper Ámbito Financiero that says that “Gianfranco ´blanqueó´ a trust of Macri’s mother, prohibited by law.”

“The former president’s brother declared as his own in 2016 a ´trust´ that would reach 25 million dollars. Its true owner was Alicia Blanco Villegas who in 2020 reintroduced him to his patrimony. The money laundering law expressly prevented him from accessing the benefit . The new test gives a twist to the judicial case “, says the journalistic text that the president of the Senate said. In her publication, Cristina Kirchner also put the link to her 2016 letter, when she accused the then president of mounting a judicial persecution against her and that of her family. “ In a perfect example of the persecution strategy against my whole family, look at how Clarín called that false complaint. If they even made my daughter sick “, he assured. And he added: “For the Macri family … a long history of media shielding that continues to this day.” In this way, the vice president once again spoke publicly through social networks after the harsh letter she wrote to President Alberto Fernández days ago, which generated an internal shock in the Frente de Todos . His last political publication had been, precisely, the public letter on September 16, although days later, on September 23, he had offered his condolences to the family and friends of Fernando Braga Menéndez, a publicist who worked together with Néstor in the 2003 campaign. .

Macri, against the “populist regime”

For his part, Mauricio Macri participated this Tuesday in a meeting organized by the Center for Analysis for Public Policies, where he criticized the Frente de Todos for its electoral strategy and considered that “ savings and Years of effort can be wasted by a populist regime in a very short time “. During the event, Macri questioned the Government of President Alberto Fernández about its strategy to try to reverse the defeat suffered in the PASO and also launched harsh criticism against the last summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). “The sellers of colored mirrors appear who give away everything they do not have and destroy the future. It is necessary to avoid that the savings and the effort of years can be squandered by a populist regime in a very short time,” launched the former president. In this sense, Macri highlighted the triumph of Together for Change in the PASO and hoped that it would “deepen” the legislative elections of November 14 , while I emphasized that “a government that has hurt and deepened it again is beginning to face the consequences of what it has done.” In another section of his presentation, the former president criticized CELAC for the participation of the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his Cuban counterpart, Miguel Díaz-Canel, in the summit that took place in Mexico, and considered that “You don’t have to set the stage for them to want to tell us that those who are dictators are not dictators.” “I would not participate in places where you are going to sit with people who are violating human rights in our continent,” Macri shot and added: “We would have to continue working in the Lima Group to free the Venezuelan people, the Cuban, so that there is free elections “.

Symbolism is also power

On the other hand, when asked about his management and the defeat he suffered in 2019 against Alberto Fernández, Macri evaluated that he “failed” in “not giving so much importance to symbolism , which is also power “, and pointed out:” If there is no story that justifies the epic, you can stay alone back “. “What led us to not being able to re-elect in 2019 is that there was no global understanding of the folly of changing, Argentina is a pathetic case of reversal of almost more than half a century as a result of obstacles and mafia behavior, which must be broken” he explained. In addition, the former president was consulted about the emergence of liberal figures such as the economist Javier Milei in the electoral arena and, although he expressed a partial coincidence with his ideas, he took distance from the libertarian speech expressed by the candidate for deputy of La Libertad Avanza. “ The ideas that on the day one has tried to promote in the management have to do with freedoms, I am a believer in freedom as a central fact in the life of a person “, said Macri. However, he clarified that “a much more extreme version emerged: they reach levels of anarchism, they say that there has to be no system, and there we are on an edge in which I do not feel identified, democracy is the worst of systems but is the only possible “.
