The leader of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió, affirmed this Saturday that moments “worse than 2001” are coming in the country and compared the present of Argentina with the tragedy of the Andes. “I live in the now, but I know we collided”, stated in Mirtha Legrand’s Table by eltrece
About the 50th anniversary the tragedy of the Andes, and the presence of the survivor Carlos Páez in the program, the former deputy was concerned regarding the situation in the country. “I see the muleteer looking for us”, said the leader, who indicated that, despite everything, she seeks to have “temperance”.
“What is coming is terrible. Dramatic moments are coming, even worse than in 2001. I know there will be hunger,” said Carrió. The leader added that she lives day by day because she “has peace of mind” and added that there is a certain “joy in the fight once morest adversity.”
“I prepared myself all this time to be planted”, considered Carrió. And he compared: “A mother cries when a child dies, but the next day she has to get up.” Thus, he gave an account of his position on the political scene: “I retired so that the deputies of the Civic Coalition grow.”
On the other hand, Carrió rejected the need for Cristina Kirchner to meet with Mauricio Macri to overcome the tension. “I don’t think the unit [del país] It’s regarding that,” he stated. “It is regarding the concord of a people, regarding overcoming the rift,” she added. He pointed out that speaks with “many boys from La Cámpora”.
Along these lines, he also referred to the situation of Florence Kirchner, the daughter of the vice president, amid accusations regarding the origin of the family heritage. “I defend Cristina’s daughter, because she is a victim. She mightn’t put the dollars in there,” she stated. And she added: “she has to have an autonomous defense”.
“I suffered a lot of persecution, but never as much as part of sectors of my own government”, said Elisa Carrió during the program. The leader alluded to the accusations that weigh on the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) during the mandate of Mauricio Macri.
“The damage they did to my family was irreparable”, added Carrio. The leader avoided providing more details but assured that there is a case under investigation. However, she pointed out Macri’s second foreign minister: “The chancellor [Jorge] Faurie was a part of it”.
The leader of the Civic Coalition referred to this situation, following the journalist from LA NACION Hugo Alconada Monalso invited to the program, gave details regarding the “persecution” he suffered both in the government of Cristina Kirchner and in the following administration.
After his testimony, Carrió affirmed that he maintains a different position than other members of Together for Change. In that sense, he pointed out that he challenged Silvia Majdalani as deputy director of the AFI in the previous government and did not vote for her agreement in the Senate. She also said that she denounced Gustavo Arribas in Justice, following LA NACION published alleged links with the Lava Jato case.
In this context, the leader took the opportunity to reiterate the position of the Civic Coalition on intelligence in the country. “We are the only ones who ask for the removal of the IPA”, he emphasized. However, he pointed out that, for that to happen, the person who sits in the Casa Rosa has to arrive “without a suitcase behind” to avoid possible extortions.
The opposition leader also referred to the courtship of Horacio Rodriguez Larreta with the Buenos Aires official Miracles Maylin. He dismissed it as a “coup effect”. “He is deeply in love,” she noted.
Carrió said that he had dinner with the head of the Buenos Aires government and Maylin. “He mightn’t whitewash it, because he wanted to take care of his family,” he said. The leader thus made reference to the daughters of the head of the Buenos Aires government and her previous relationship with Bárbara Diez. She noted that she sought to handle herself with care.
“That relationship deserved respect. It cost him, because he loves his family very much, “she said.
Elisa Carrió questioned the price of medicines in the country and argued that if Argentina imported more from India they would cost “half”. She also accused the companies in the sector of “financing the entire political class.”
“If we imported from India, the medicines would cost half. What happens is that here they are triangulated via Switzerland -there is Mr.[[Hugo]Sigman– and they have exorbitant prices,” he said. “This cannot be said much because they finance all politics, except me,” she launched.
Carrió remembered when in september 2018 the then government of Mauricio Macri had to make cabinet changes and spoke of a “Coup of the labs”. He also said that Mario Quintanawho had been president of Farmacity, resigned as deputy chief of staff for that reason.
“The bidding for [medicamentos] oncology, is a business of great corruption, deepened. And she once more alluded to that moment of change in the midst of strong pressure on the Cambiemos government. “They almost flipped us”, he asserted.
