Cause Road: Government and Kirchnerisme lined up to talk about Cristina Kirchner’s proscription

The reactions within the government were almost immediate after having learned of the foundations of the Federal Oral Tribunal 2 which condemns the vice-president Cristina Kirchner to 6 years in prison and to the perpetual ban on exercising public functions. They were first produced from Kirchnerism harder and then also those closest to the president Alberto Fernandez. The presidential spokeswoman, Gabriela Cerruti, also spoke during the press conference she offered this afternoon at the Casa Rosada.

Talk to AM 750the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro, one of the most significant representatives of Kirchnerism in the ministerial caste, assured that “The Penal Code has replaced the Electoral Code” in Argentina, and clarified that “from March 9, 1956, we again entered a phase of proscription”, referring to the reasons given by the judges of the Oral Federal Court 2.

“It is another day of persecution, where sectors of justice play a role disciplinary. Today sectors of the Judiciary have welcomed the penal and procedural code to these 15 years”, explained the Minister.

“The president continues to maintain that all of this is a armed cause proceed with CFK and inhabilitarla exercise political functions. It is also a way of trying to educate other politicians,” said Gabriela Cerruti in this regard.

“The president has already said on more than one occasion that he understands that this cause has neither head nor tail,” explained the presidential spokesman in this regard. As he says, the vice president somehow got dragged into this cause, in which he has no relation. This is clearly set out today in the fundamentals of the case, where repeatedly it is clear that there is no evidence have the vice president there. There is no concrete evidence of anything that holds there”.

In the same tone, a statement came out from the Justicialista Party, whose leader is the President of the Nation. “The Justicialista Party reiterates once again his strongest rejection of the lawsuits and the attempt to outlaw the Vice President of the NationCristina Fernández de Kirchner, who today began her formal journey with the reading of the “fundamentals” of the so-called Road Cause by the judges of the Oral Federal Court 2″, reads its first paragraph.

Then he argues that “the content of the judgment once again reveals the lack of guarantees, the violation of the right to due process and the violation of fundamental human rights established in the national Constitution”.

“As in previous cases, the Justicialista Party expresses its solidarity with the Vice President, confirm his innocence and warns against the serious risk for the democratic system that this new advance of the antipopular powers implies. 40 years after the democratic recovery, we demand the full validity of the political rights of all Argentines. We remember that the peoples have always fought and will continue to fight in defense of the leaders who have played for them,” reads the last two paragraphs.

Another of CFK’s closest cabinet members, the Minister of Justice, martin soriaIn Radio 10 He remarked that “they couldn’t find any credentials of the former president in the facts” and claimed that this is an “untenable verdict”. He added that “It is a totally political stop that opens the presidential campaign of this 2023”.

Soria called ‘absurd’ the basics on page 313 of the judgment where it is stated that “unfortunately we do not have information on the total amounts which have widened the basic and comparative universe between the two sources of information” and that in another of the pages says that “it will be impossible to know with certainty the exact percentage of installments paid to the companies of the group compared to the rest of the public works contractors, but there is no doubt that it was a mechanism used almost exclusively by them”.

The document published this morning by the Oral Federal Court 2, composed of judges Jorge Gorini, Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu and Andrés Basso, consists of 1,616 facets.

A little later, on Twitter, Soria included a photo from the Official Journal of March 9, 1956 where the Liberating Revolution forbidden to Peronism and in the tweet he wrote: “Neither the prosecutor with his ‘3 tons of evidence’, nor the court with his 1600 page sentence, they were able to find ONE FACT that proves Cristina Kirchner’s participation in the cause. They had a mission: to ban the CFK and justify the Fusilladora Revolution”.

In C5N expressed: “The clearest thing is that they seek to condemn something else with the persecution of Cristina, with the assembly of the cause, with this condemnation.”

Although he is one of the closest to President Alberto Fernández, the former mayor of San Martín was very categorical. “Behind all this there is another sentence and it is to bury the 12 years of government led by Nestor and Cristina. They want to demonize what Cristina represents, they want to fuck up our lives in a clear way.

Katopodis also claimed that “these decisions are defended by those who want to get rich in Argentina. They do it so that the Argentines do not think of another country model. They come for Cristina, for what it means, for labor laws. We have to defend Cristina and what she represents.”

“With the ‘grounds’ of condemnation the formal path to banning compañera Cristina Kirchner begins. They seek to discipline Peronism and condition the electoral process,” was his first tweet. And he completed it with another: “In what is really important, Peronism has no nuances: with persecution, there is no complete democracy. But know, compañeras and compañeros, that history is fair and that the peoples win. This was demonstrated by Lula in Brazil and Evo in Bolivia”.

Agustin Rossidirector of cabinet since February 15, became one of the last to publish his opinion on the networks. “As we argue, the grounds of judgment confirm the proscriptive effect of the sentence against Cristina Kirchner. The Road Cause was armed and directed with a single objective: to condemn CFK”, he put.

The Mayor of Quilmes, Mayra MendozaFor his part, he posted on his Twitter account: “NOTHING WITHOUT CRISTINA. The judicial mafia wants to ban it, the Argentine people will not allow it. To take care of Argentina, let’s move forward with Cristina #BastaDeProscripcion TODXS WITH CRISTINA”.
