The national senator of Together for Change, Louis Judgebothered him again with his statements: on television he said that “no Argentine can guarantee that democracy changed his life”without even taking into account the disappearance of 30,000 people in the last civil-military dictatorship.
The anti-democratic statements of the JxC representative from Córdoba took place on the Mirtha Legrand program, on Saturday night, in which he participated as a guest. When asked about the current situation in the country, Judge made a critique of the politics of the last 40 years, since the return of democracy in 1983. In this context, he expressed: “No Argentine can say that democracy changed his life”, and generated an uncomfortable moment at Mirtha’s table.
To try to justify his sentence, he added: “People are having a very bad time. There is a lot of fanaticism and the violence comes from above. One sees that the one with the power believes that he is right, but he is not. They want to impose reason with force and society notices that”, without giving any reason for their statements.
the conservative Spanish journalist and writer, Pilar Rahola, who was also participating in the program, could not contain the impulse and crossed it hard. “I cannot accept that sentence, forgive me. Democracy always saves life, compared to dictatorships”, asserted.
Faced with this statement, Judge tried to repair his message: “I am saying that, if we compare the standard of living 40 years ago with that of now, sincerely, with our hands on our hearts, if we want to make a deep self-criticism… If not We are going to make a self-criticism, we are never going to start, ”he said.
Minimize the attack on Cristina Kirchner
After the exchange, the guests’ conversation focused on the figure of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Over there The judge referred to the attack suffered by the former president and ironized again about the future of the case and the strategy carried out by the defenseremoving gravity from the fact.
“It has little glamor. She always said: ‘if something happens to me, look to the north’. Because she thought that some intelligence agency was going to kill her. But she wanted to kill a black man who sold pururú and now she needs to hook up with some leg of the opposition. It is very stupid. A guy who didn’t even have sugar for pururú wanted to kill you”, concluded the legislator.
Report to Luis Juez
The organization Más Democracia denounced Senator Luis Juez before INADI and the National Public Defender’s Office, and requests the National Senate to expel him from the body. “The limit to hate speech is democracy. The limit to prejudice and discrimination is democracy. The limit for any Argentine who stands for an election, wins an election or fulfills a role in public management is to choose and respect/make democracy respected. To the right of democracy, there is no life for the Argentine people,” they said in a statement.
“We reiterate once again, as we will continue to do whenever necessary: in this political system that we Argentines have chosen to live in, the commitment is Democracy forever! The onslaught of neoliberal fascism sharpens violence in all its forms, alleging that it is only a discursive dispute for the pre-election period. The More Democracy Collective condemns and calls on all institutions, institutions and political and social actors to express themselves, not naturalize and reinforce the commitment to democracy”, he completes.
