The vice president appeared on stage with an audience this Friday for the first time since she suffered the attack on September 1, for which three young people are being prosecuted and detained
The Vice President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez, pointed this Friday at “businessmen linked to macrismo”, referring to former president Mauricio Macri (2015-2019), like the people who paid those involved in the attack he suffered on September 1which, in his opinion, “were not outraged.”
“Those allegedly indignant and outraged people who attacked, who insulted, who threw burning torches at the Casa Rosada (headquarters of the Executive) were not outraged. They were people paid by businessmen who identified with the previous government, with macrismo,” said the vice president .
In his first appearance on stage with an audience since he suffered the attack, last September 1, for which three young people are prosecuted and detainedthe former president (2007-2015) also asked to end the “lie” of the “outraged renters”.
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 “They received millions of pesos to do that.”
Although he later acknowledged: “It does not mean that there are not people angry with what happens”in a country that suffers from falling purchasing power, with 85% inflation.
With the song “Cristina presidenta”, the metallurgical workers and delegates received the vice president, who took a mass bath in the closing act 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 didn’t realize the weapon they wielded and that they intended, in fact, to blow my head off.”
And she warned that she is “resigned” to Justice: “She 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 outside her home that they occurred since on August 21 a prosecutor requested 12 years in prison for her for alleged corruption in the two periods in which she was president.
