President Alberto Fernandez He said this Thursday that he suffered death threats. “There are very crazy people and you have to be careful. We all receive threats. I also received death threats,” he said, although he did not clarify when the event took place, nor in what context did he receive the threat. “I cannot tell details because I fear interfering with the investigation. The Federal Police is working”, he pointed out. From the Ministry of Security, meanwhile, they confirmed to this newspaper that “there is still nothing to report because we are in the middle of the investigation stage,” and they clarified that there is still no complaint in Justice. “The President publicly denounced it and it is acting ex officio. If there is any verifiable evidence, it will be transferred to the Justice,” they explained.
Fernandez also added that “libertarian logic does not tolerate the freedom of others. It is a moment like this, which is lived throughout the world, which was seen in the United States Capitol (alluding to the entry of protesters in January 2021 in rejection of the electoral result) I never thought we were going to live it. And the promoter of that is Donald Trump, that the polls say that he is first “.” Really, I think it is not possible to act distractedwhat is happening is very serious and we must all do something to stop it from happening,” he said in dialogue with the Uncover. To conclude, the President reflected that “what we are seeing is a flow of attacks and physical violence that is unsustainable. These people commit the crime of inciting violence and there is not even a prosecutor who does anything.”
The Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, added that he cannot give details regarding the incident. “Since this investigation is being carried out by the federal forces under my charge, I cannot speak. There are strange things. At Cristina’s house, before her colleagues went to support her, she was aggravating her, ”she said and echoed something that the President had also mentioned the night before, during a television interview. There, Fernández stressed that in the Frente de Todos “no one cultivates violence, least of all Cristina.” “On this channel (TN) they passed her house live while the prosecutor Luciani spoke. Check how the media work because it was almost a call. That logic of escrache, insult, is no longer supported in Argentina“, critical.
The head of Security added that “we never went to Mauricio Macri’s house to offend him or his family.” “The offenses once morest Cristina were many for a long time. He defended himself and did not keep his mouth shut.” The vice president had received threats a little over a month ago when a group of protesters attacked the Instituto Patria. “We are going to hang you here, in front of the Patria Institute and, if not, in front of the Senate,” they had shouted at him through a megaphone, among other things. This episode of extreme violence led to a criminal complaint by the lawyer in charge of the Instituto Patria, Fernando Castiglioni, which was filed on July 24.
On that occasion, Patria’s lawyer added that, beyond the intimidation, “the passive attitude of the Police of the City of Buenos Aires, that can be seen in the accompanying video, which allows people who are in the place to throw garbage, paint walls and hang posters with all kinds of threatening signs”. In that complaint, the crimes of “intimidation and death threats” appear. ; damage “to property” and “breach of the duties of officials”, by those of the City government.
The level of violence that exists in society is something that worries Casa Rosada. Along these lines, they recall that in the last opposition marches there were several “interventions” of extreme violence, such as the time during a “tractor hit” on April 24 of this year, hanged dolls hung from the railings of the May pyramid with the faces of officials, or when in February 2021, also during an opposition march, they put bags that simulated being mortuary in front of Casa Rosada with the faces of various leaders, including references from the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo groups.
The President added in his statements the repudiation of the statements made by the PRO deputy for Neuquén, Francis Sanchezwho through his social networks on Monday stated that Cristina Kirchner should receive the death penalty in case of being condemned by the Justice. “It’s a delusion, nonsense, the only thing it reveals is the level of ignorance that exists in many,” she said.
