Eduardo “Wado” De Pedro: “Where I’m going, all the activists are asking for Cristina as a candidate”

The minister of the Interior, Edward “Wado” by Peterclaimed today that Peronist militancy demands a presidential candidacy from Cristina Kirchnerin the middle of the internal within the Frente de Todos in the face of the elections and in line with the statements of another referent of La Cámpora as Andres “Cuervo” Larroquewho “assure that” the people need a Peronist and Kirchnerist government.

The national official, who took part over the weekend in a plenary session of the “Néstor Kirchner” youth in the city of Moreno in Buenos Aires, maintained that when “you go through a union, an assembly or the provinces, the he love and bond of a The Popular Sector with Cristina Kirchner is indestructible, that is undeniable”.

In this sense, and in dialogue with AM750 radio, De Pedro pointed out: “Where am I going, all militancy asks Cristina’s candidate”. In the aforementioned act, he also went further by addressing a few words to the activists present: “We are going to support the campaign so that the colleague president can present herself if she wants to.”

The current vice-president had announced through a video published on December 6, 2022 her decision to “not be a candidate for anything”. “My name will not appear on any ballot”, she declared at the time, in full decision of the Federal Oral Court No. 2, which sentenced her to 6 years in prison and a life ban for fraudulent administration of State. assets. From this moment, the Kirchnerism begins an operation aimed at positioning the former president as “outlaw” by Justice.

In this context, De Pedro indicated: “The ban has to do with a mechanism of persecution that has nothing to do with deadlines and legal dates, but with a machine that has been trying to ban Cristina Kirchner for a long time; We consider that with this decision, it is politically prohibited.

This position contrasts with the vision of other leaders within the Frente de Todos. For example, the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández. “Cristina Kirchner is not banned, but those who say that want to ban the president“, affirmed the person in charge last week before a consultation of the Infobase.

“Everyone can say what they think. I say that, politically, when the elections were held, General (Juan Domingo) Perón also had the chance to run,” replied De Pedro, who pointed the finger Fernández, although without naming him, due to the lack of progress in the investigation into the attack suffered by the former president.

“There is a strong demand from the government to do everything necessary to clarify as soon as possible who all the material and intellectual authors are,” the interior minister said.

Larroque, for his part, called for “breaking the ban” on Cristina Kirchner with “popular mobilization”. “The conviction (of the former president) comes in a context of Peronist government and is extremely serious for democracy, there is an attitude of harassment which reached its climax with the assassination attempt”, analyzed the provincial minister .

In dialogue with the journalist Tuny Kollmann, for Radio 10, Larroque said “the ban is broken with popular mobilization” and “raising awareness”. “Agustín Rossi said something very important, namely that we are facing a system of power. We cannot discuss only in electoral terms. There are factors of justice, the economy, the power of the media…”, continued Larroque, warning against “a very deep discussion” which “requires popular mobilization”.

“If we enter into the discussion to find out whether or not it is a ban, we are playing the enemy’s game. It seems to be a question of what La Cámpora, Kirchnerism or Peronism wants, but this is what the people need: The people need a Peronist and Kirchnerist governmentand the person with the greatest reach and capacity is Cristina Kirchner,” the minister from Buenos Aires pointed out.
