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”.
Although he later acknowledged: “It does not mean that there are not people angry with what is happening”, in a country that is suffering from a drop in purchasing power, with 85% inflation.
With the singing “Cristina president”, the metallurgical workers and delegates received the vice president, who took a mass bath at the closing ceremony of the regional congresses of the Metallurgical Workers Union ( UOM), in the town of Pilar, in the province of Buenos Aires, with a strong security operation.
Fernández said that she also saw the attack on television: “I did not realize the weapon that they wielded and that intended, in fact, to blow my head off”.
And she warned that she is “resigned” with Justice: “He is not going to investigate anything because I serve as a defendant, but not as a victim to that judicial party”.
The vice president suffered the attack in the midst of the demonstrations at the doors of her home that have taken place since on August 21 a prosecutor asked for her 12 years in prison for alleged corruption in the two periods in which she was president.
