The sentence, which seeks to imprison Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for six years, and strip her of holding public office for life, fails to hide its political nature.
Although the case has been aired for three long years in the judicial field, the purpose of the highway case, for which he was convicted of the crime of “fraudulent administration at the expense of public administration”, could not hide its truth. The face that concerns the whole nation.
And with good reason, the thousands of Argentines who mobilized this Tuesday in support of the Kurdistan Alliance after the ruling was officially announced, denounced the move as a “coup d’etat” and an “attack on democracy”.
The fact that the Vice-President of the State has been sentenced not only lends this quality to the process – it is the first time that a person of such rank has been tried in Argentina – which represents a serious blow to the stability and, therefore, against the ruling.
And the worst of it is that it is a fraudulent process – another similar case was tried and dismissed against Cristina, Los Suces, in the province of Santa Cruz, where the events supposedly took place – and this is directed against one of the most capable, most admired and beloved political figures within Argentine progressivism, with All possibilities to be the candidate of the Frente Todos government (FdT) in the upcoming presidential elections next year.
It is not just about charisma, but about the prestige she gained after two terms in the presidency during which she deepened the scope of the anti-hegemonic, neoliberal and nationalist model of social justice initiated by her late former president husband. Nestor Kirchner. The periods during which Argentina freed itself from the bonds of international financial organizations that plunged it into the pit of a multidimensional crisis, and was able to go its own way.
Although there is nothing official, the possibility of her leading the presidential formula of the Front de Todos in the next elections has been dealt with and supported by the members of that coalition and, certainly, by the vast majority of that large part of the people who support her. supports.
Within the progressive spectrum, she has great credibility and support for aspiring to the presidency and facing the right, amid the crooked arm that before she took office, she meant for the current government’s FdT, the debt that the former right agreed to. President Mauricio Macri with the International Monetary Fund: a chain that somehow restricted the aspirations with which CEO Alberto Fernandez arrived at the Casa Rosada.
Cristina Fernandez was the first politician from the left in Latin America to condemn the war: Judicialization of the policy brought against several of her colleagues in the district and is now its latest victim, although the prosecution’s legal arguments will be known in March, at which time the defense arguments will continue and will be entered into the prescribed part of the process. Then the last word will be said. She was joined by 12 other officials, including a number of former ministers, in this farce.
The same political and judicial maneuver that was woven against Lula in Brazil was carried out against Cristina – who was fortunately already defeated – as well as against Ecuadorean Rafael Correa and his former deputy, Jorge Glas. It’s the same montage they wanted to assert against Evo during the coup in Bolivia…
In addition, compromise has its strong component of exacerbating hatred through media manipulation. For this she should be “thankful” for the failed attempt on her life, on September 1st.
The course of the trial shows that we are facing a farce set up by a judicial system clearly based on the political interests of the domestic and continental right.
None of the accusations that sought to prove that construction work approved in Santa Cruz between 2003 and 2015 — the years that covered the mandates of Nestor and Cristina — were not proven to fraudulent contracts in favor of businessman Lázaro Paez.
On the contrary, a summary published by the Argentine newspaper Page 12 Which includes the prosecution’s worst defeats during the trial, among other evidence, that “all the roads laid out were constructed and the construction was of good quality; nothing not built was paid for (…); all works were voted into budgets Every year in the National Congress it was a mistake that there were works that were not in the budget.
According to the newspaper, even witnesses for the prosecution testified against him.
With good reason, Buenos Aires Environment Minister Daniela Villar warned that the “death squad” – as Christina called the makers of judicial correction – goes beyond the scope of the vice president. With their condemnation, they intend to condemn a Qatari project.”
Thats all about it.
