This Tuesday, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner participated in the inauguration of the Bicentennial Women’s Hall at the Patria Institute and there he took the opportunity to attack the Base Lawwhich is currently being debated in the Senate in Commission, and also crossed the current government.
In that sense, the former vice president recalled the dialogue they exchanged on the day of the inauguration of Javier Mileiwhen they were both seen very smiling in the Chamber of Deputies.

“They saw that day that everyone was saying how smiling the two of them are, well, at one point when he came in I told him ‘President, stand on my left,’ so the well-known joke. ‘No, on your left it’s impossible,’” he recalled.
It was then that Cristina responded: “Don’t believe, don’t believe. He has many prejudices. When you sit in Rivadavia’s chair, a few prejudices are going to fall on you, as they are falling on you now every day.”
From that anecdote, Kirchner added that Milei “It has no connection with reality.” “This is what is happening. And look at the prejudice, when we recovered YPF I did not contract with PDVSA (Venezuelan oil company), we made a contract with Chevron, the most important oil company in the world,” he expressed.
“The Bases Law is colonialism of the 21st century”
During Tuesday afternoon, Cristina Kirchner participated in an event at the Patria Institute. There he criticized the Bases Law that is being discussed in the Senate and has already received half a sanction in the Deputies. “He is a “legal statute of colonialism, 21st century version”.
The former president specifically questioned the chapter referring to the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI). “All Argentines should be worried,” she said in her second appearance in less than 15 days. On April 27 he was in Quilmes where he again attacked the management of Javier Milei.

He also criticized the Government’s plan foreign direct investment, raised in the Bases Law: “Starting in the third year they will let it export without entering a single dollar into the BCRA reserves. But, I ask, and I ask those who voted affirmatively for the agreement with the IMF, also those who voted affirmatively for the sovereign debt restructuring: With what dollars do you plan to pay the foreign debt if there are no dollars coming in? With what dollars are they going to pay the IMF and support the development of industries that evidently do not matter to anyone? Or maybe the goal is to keep us going into debt forever. How are we going to leave energy in this way, forgetting about internal self-sufficiency?”
