This ruling corresponds to the so-called road cause for alleged irregularities in the awarding of 51 works in Argentina’s Santa Cruz province between 2003-2015, facts Fernández has denied and denied during three years of hearings.
«All support to comrade @CFKArgentina, victim of persecution and politicization of the judiciary. The PT is by your side, strength, the truth will prevail!” wrote the president of the political organization, Gleisi Hoffmann, on the social network Twitter.
Along the same lines, former President Dilma Rousseff, a member of the PT, strummed that “Vice President Cristina Kirchner has bravely confronted the media and the malice of the judiciary in Argentina.”
He warned that “like (Luiz Inácio) Lula (da Silva) Cristina Fernández is a victim of lawfare here in Brazil, the use of the judiciary to justify political persecution by sections of the judiciary and public ministry.”
For Rousseff, “we see again how the principle of the impartiality of the judiciary and judges is totally distorted”.
In the same way, he emphasized “how the legal apparatus is being used as a weapon to persecute our main progressive leaders and seek their political destruction”.
Recently, the former Argentine leader claimed to be facing a firing squad aimed at stigmatizing Peronism (a movement born out of the thinking of military and statesman Juan Domingo Perón) and warned that the verdict was against him was written from the beginning.
They want me dead or imprisoned, he insisted as he warned about hate speech, the September 1 assassination and the prosecution against him. This Tuesday, Fernández denounced the existence of a parallel state, a mafia and a judicial party that accused her of crimes she did not commit.
As I said, in 2019 the verdict was written, he claimed and recalled that Judge Julián Ercolini, who was conducting the case, declared himself incompetent years ago and referred the case to that territory, where it was dismissed.
Mauricio Macri’s government (2015-2019) magically revived things and Ercolini brought them back.
They are prosecuting me for fraudulent administration, but under the Constitution, the president is not responsible for the administration and execution of the budget, which is the responsibility of the chief of staff, Fernández explained.
