The Vice President of Argentina, Cristina Fernández, pointed out this Friday to “ ;businessmen linked to macrismo”, referring to former president Mauricio Macri (2015-2019), such as the people who paid those involved in the attack he suffered on September 1, which, in his opinion, “they were not outraged”.
“Those presumed indignant men and women who attacked, who insulted, who threw burning torches at the Casa Rosada (headquarters of the Executive) were not indignant. They were people paid by businessmen who identified with the previous government, with macrismo”, said the vice president.
In her first appearance on a stage with an audience since she suffered the attack, on September 1 past, for which three young people are prosecuted and detained, the also former president (2007-2015) asked to end the “lie” of the “indignados rented”.
Justice, in addition to prosecuting the material authors of the attack, prosecuted in another case four young members of the Federal Revolution group, known for their escraches against the Government and threats to the vice president.
Cristina Fernández indicated this Friday that those outraged with politics that were reproduced on television, in reality “received millions of pesos to do that”.
