The daughter of the former president came to the intersection of the Minister of Development, who introduced himself as Martín Menem’s cousin. She recalled that La Rioja was the province that received the most funding
I just found out that I have a new cousin. What I did know is that you @turcomenem have the merit of being Governor Quintela’s son-in-law,” said Zulemita Menem, daughter of former president Carlos Menem and cousin of the president of the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, Martín Menem.
“I tell you that in the management of your government (your father-in-law) in our province between 26 and 28 new poor people were generated per day, with La Rioja being the province that received the most resources from the State in the last 4 years,” Zulemita highlighted. Menem.
“You. They had a huge management problem and not a money problem. “They plunged our province into deep poverty,” he stated.
Zulemita Menem continued: I tell you as the daughter of Carlos Menem that my father was and would be proud of @MenemMartin because he decided to enter the world of politics with President @milei to defend the province with management, conviction and preparation. Ah! He knows the neighborhoods since he used to visit them since he was a child with my old man (his uncle). Greetings”.
It is worth remembering that Alfredo Menem, Minister of Social Development of the province of La Rioja, accused his cousin, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, and blamed him for “hindering” the sending of funds to the province. “Martín grew up in Buenos Aires. He does not know any neighborhood in our city, much less does he know the interior of the province. He may know far from the need of the people of Rioja,” said Alfredo Menem.
“We convey and even publicly ask Martín and Lule [Eduardo Menem] to stop hindering the province’s resources. Martín has to look out for the people who voted for him. “He is sitting representing the people of Rioja on a bench in Congress and has to prioritize the defense of the interests of the people of Rioja and not the model that he represents, which is concentrating, exclusive, discriminatory and insensitive,” said Alfredo Menem in dialogue with Radio With you.
The minister of the government led by Ricardo Quintela in La Rioja praised the former president and also former provincial governor Carlos Menem and marked differences with the head of the lower house. “Carlos Menem would not be proud of Martin Menem at all. I can assure you and you can ask anyone here in our province,” he criticized.
The Riojan official expanded his vision: “Carlos Menem was a guy who reached consensus, who negotiated, who was hurt by the pain of the most humble. If you come here to La Rioja and go to a neighborhood, you will surely hear very good things about Carlos Menem because he visited the neighborhoods, he knows about the needs of the people.”
Alfredo Menem, however, stated that he meets with his cousins at family events and that he has a good personal relationship. “We talked and the truth is that I respect him because he defends his interests and we discuss him a lot, but he remains in the discussion and I understand it,” he expressed, although he reiterated their differences: “I am at the antipodes of the model that he It represents. “I represent a model that distributes, that generates quality of life and that proposes that social justice is above personal interests.”
