Through their profile on the Twitter social network, groups such as the Frente Grande, the Forja Concertación Party and Sons for Identity and Justice against Oblivion and Silence condemned the attempts to prevent Fernández’s presence in the country and his participation in the 2023 elections.
Escort force, your people are accompanying you and defending you!, says a message from the front published this morning.
For his part, Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero warned of the banning measures against the Senate chairman, who was also in charge.
The extreme right in Latin America is anti-democratic. They did it with Juan Domingo Perón (1895-1974) and recently with popular leaders of the region like Evo Morales and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the foreign minister pointed out.
However, he reiterated that “our peoples are fair: they do not fail those who risk it for them.”
The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, called for the end of the legal dispute (lawfare) against the vice president.
Likewise, the Interblock Frente de Todos in the Senate rejected the political, judicial and media persecution against Fernández.
They want to discredit, damage the image and shut down national and popular speakers. We stand in solidarity with Fernández, who suffered years of attack on false charges, without reliable evidence and without being allowed to fully exercise his right to defense, the senators said in a statement.
In addition, she criticizes “the impartiality of judges and prosecutors and the existence of a war promoted by sectors reacting to partisan interests and the major centers of power”.
They try to eliminate all kinds of adversaries and exercise social control, instilling fear and punishing those who try to represent interests other than those of real power. We oppose the use of justice to condition, delegitimize and politically and socially annihilate a popular leader, the document says
These maneuvers violate human rights. We urge Argentines to think about it and pay special attention to what is happening to prevent shameful acts like the ones mentioned from taking place, he concludes.
Following an appeal by former President Mauricio Macri (2015-2019), Federal Court 2 instituted proceedings against Fernández for alleged irregularities in the award of 51 public works contracts in Santa Cruz province between 2003 and 2015.
The former head of state repeatedly denounced being a victim of unprecedented stalking and recalled that the court of that territory dropped the case for lack of a crime.
On that day, the accusatory argument of the trial ends, and according to local media, prosecutor Diego Luciani wants to seek a prison sentence for the deputy president and her life ban from public office.
