The request for impeachment of Alberto Fernández in the Chamber of Deputies had almost a full consensus in the interblock Together for Change save for one exception. Is that Facundo Manes decided not to sign the project which generated strong internal questions.
Interviewed by Edward Feinmann and Jonathan Viale in LN+the president of the PRO, Patricia Bullrichcriticized the radical deputy for his position: “We are 116 deputies, 115 signed. It is an institutional irresponsibility and you have to take responsibility. He is going to have to explain why being part of a political project in which all the blocks signed the project, he even signed his own block. It is the only one, they signed 115″.
“I found out, I asked whether he didn’t sign or didn’t find out, because it might have been. But specifically did not want to sign. For me it is a very strong institutional irresponsibility. He will have to explain why he did not want to sign,” said the former Security Minister.
Can the political trial of Alberto Fernández prosper?
Mani’s explanation
From his Twitter account, the neuroscientist explained his reasons for not signing the request for impeachment once morest Alberto Fernández: “There is no doubt that the sayings of the President are irresponsible, dangerous and OUTRAGEOUS. we will not tolerate mafia statements in Argentina. But this It is not a situation that calls for a political trial“.
“Let’s be clear: a impeachment request It is a measure to remove the President. Is a extreme measure for the institutional functioning of the democratic system that cannot be trivialized. Requests for impeachment cannot be made prematurely, due to the institutional seriousness that this implies. It is a decision that needs to be thoroughly analyzed and debated,” he continued.
In that line, he continued: “Let’s not forget: there was a SERIOUS CRIME here. They stole money from everyone, a lot of money that was not invested in the welfare of Argentines. It is a crime that justice has to judge, regardless of politics, to recover those resources and return them to society.”
“IT IS NOT A POLITICAL DISCUSSION, IT IS A CRIME. Let’s not divert attention. Let’s put aside electoral speculation and allow justice to act. It is a mistake to remove this discussion from the plane of justice and take her to politics. This strategy is convenient for many because it continues to appeal to the crack that brought us here and allows them to maintain their privileges, “he said.
And he concluded: “The citizens ask the President for justice without privileges and for him to govern to move the country forward. And that, once and for all, we focus on the issues that really matter: corruption, hunger, inflation, cuts in health and education, lack of direction”.

The request for impeachment of Alberto Fernández
The heads of the benches of the interblock Together for Change in the Chamber of Deputies presented this Thursday, August 25, at a press conference a draft resolution in which they formally requested the impeachment of President Alberto Fernández for his “public threats” once morest the prosecutor Diego Luciani, who requested a 12-year prison sentence once morest Cristina Kirchner in the trial for public works.
In an interview in TN, the head of state had said that the former prosecutor Alberto Nisman “committed suicide” and that he hoped that Luciani “would not do something like that”, which unleashed a gale of repudiation from the opposition.
The parliamentary move on the part of the opposition leaders, which accuses Fernández of “poor performance and eventual crimes in the exercise of their functions“, occurs in parallel to the complaint filed by deputies of the Civic Coalition before Justice once morest Alberto Fernández for the crimes of threats and sedition.
