The former Secretary of Internal Trade and leader of the Peronist movement Principles and Values, Guillermo Morenopointed out this Tuesday against the former president Cristina Kirchner for the letter he published to confirm his candidacy for the presidency of the Justicialist Party (PJ). In this sense, Moreno warned that the two-time national leader’s writing has “conceptual errors.”
“This is the one that has the most conceptual errors, and some are horrors,” Moreno said in statements to Realpolitik Radio regarding Cristina Kirchner’s letter where she claims to be “willing” to “accept the challenge of debating in unity” in the PJ. . His application arose in the midst of the acephaly left by the resignation of Alberto Fernández from office and the lack of a replacement.
The only candidate until then was the governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, who is still in the race. Although she aspired to be the only one, the operational clamor from hard-core Kirchnerism was more than enough for Cristina Kirchner to dare to compete on a partisan basis. The elections in the PJ will take place on November 17.
Cristina Kirchner’s letter making the announcement also consisted of a brief chronology of recent history and what led Argentina to “this unprecedented moment.” It was there that Moreno pointed out, disagreeing with the former president for not maintaining that former president Raúl Alfonsín is a “gorilla.” “When Perón offers the vice presidency to Balbín, the one who opposes it is Alfonsín. “Great gorilla and great anti-Peronist,” he said.
In her letter, Cristina Kirchner maintained that Peronism “was not defeated by an anti-Peronist force.” “The characteristics of the 1983 electoral victory generated strong political and social leadership that reflected the intention to form a new force of a transversal nature. By capturing votes characteristic of Peronism, he caused his first electoral defeat in democracy,” he elaborated.
“We have to understand that, on that occasion, Peronism was not defeated by an anti-Peronist force. The clearest testimony of this was the attempt to form the ‘third historical movement’, to which both Peronists and leaders of other political forces were summoned. Finally, that Government failed within the framework of an economic process inherited from the civil-military dictatorship that could not be controlled and that ended with the hyperinflation of 1989 and a destabilization of the social mood like never before,” developed the former vice president.
From that fragment, Moreno raised the “many errors” in the writing. “Cristina’s letter has many errors. This is the one with the most conceptual errors, and some are horrors. To say that Alfonsín is not a gorilla is to repudiate the slogan we have been singing for years: ‘Bring Alfonsín’s gorilla,'” said the former presidential candidate.
Along these lines, he added: “The people sang that every time they confronted the Alfonsín Government. Gorillas like few others eh, who is the one who opposed the Perón-Balbín hug. When Perón offers the vice presidency to Balbín, the one who opposes it is Alfonsín. Great gorilla and great anti-Peronist. That cartoon about the progressive Alfonsín. That Cristina says that Alfonsín is not a gorilla… she says ‘he wanted to make the third historical movement’, of course, to end Peronism. “She says it herself,” he said.
