Cristina Kirchner spoke about the accusations of a sector of the opposition that maintains that there is an agreement between the Kirchnerism and Javier Milei. He did so in an interview with journalist Rodis Recalt, for his podcast Generación ’94.
“When I hear that said, I say: But are these people kidding me?” said the former president. And he concluded: “We couldn’t get deputies to repeal decree 70. In the Senate we repealed decree 70 and in deputies we can’t get the numbers together. And who doesn’t get together? The dialogueists and those from the PRO. Who gave them the numbers to approve the RIGI? The dialogueists and the PRO. And who are the ones who vote against all that? And it turns out that those who agreed with Milei. “Is it us? The truth is, they are very cheeky…”, he stated.
Kirchner also maintained that today “we must reform the Constitution.” and added that it would add “a system of amendments as it is in the United States.”
The former president maintained that “The election period would have to be modified,” because “There cannot be elections every two years, there has to be every four years.” He further maintained that “we must modify the judicial system”, because, “just as the presidential system was not attenuated, neither does the judicial power act in its specific function for the excesses of the executive power.”
Regarding the judicial power, he said that “we must introduce what can be declared constitutional or unconstitutional.” “For example, the reform that is being carried out in Mexico, the election of judges is by popular vote and they also eliminated the monarchical hindrance. Is it modern that someone who can decide about your life, your freedom and your assets lasts a lifetime? The only power that does that is the judicial power.” He also gave as an example the election of the attorney general in the United States. “In other places, for example in the United States, the attorney general is chosen by the President and leaves with the president. Here the current legislation lasts for life,” he stated.
