President Javier Milei He came out to respond to the former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who this afternoon made his first public speech since the change of government. Without arguments, the far-right shared a text from the former president to vindicate the brutal adjustment that is being carried out.
Almost an hour after CFK finished his act, the President responded: “People are starving because for decades you defended a model that was based on spending without limits and falsifying money to cover the hole.”
And he added: “The result is a destroyed country with 60% poor. What good is what we are doing? It serves to rebuild the country that you destroyed…VLLC…!!!”.
In Quilmes, Cristina recalled the 22 percent of the votes that Néstor Kirchner obtained 21 years ago and that when Carlos Menem dropped out of the runoff, it was pointed out that it was a way to delegitimize the new government. But thanks to the social policies they carried out, “Néstor left with a 70 percent positive image” when his term ended.
In the case of Milei, CFK maintained that legitimacy is not in question, but rather the crisis that the population is going through is what is questionable. ““60 percent of the people may have voted for you, but if later people starve themselves, lose their jobs, what’s the point?”he inquired.
Later, the former president shared that fragment of her speech on her networks, along with photos of the event: “No one is ignoring the legitimacy of the president’s origin, if there is something that I have always recognized, it is the forcefulness and how unappealable the popular vote is. But legitimacy of origin also needs to be legitimized in management and in the results of management.”
“When I heard people congratulate themselves on the public surplus of the first quarter and it turns out that you didn’t pay Cammesa, the energy, the public works, what you owe to the provinces and the universities… It’s like you at home after not having paid the electricity, gas, rent and expenses say “I have a surplus.” No brother. Look at everything you owe, you don’t have a surplus,” Cristina added.
And he concluded: “In 2000 and 2001 we had zero deficit and everything fell the same. In this country, in the six years that there was a fiscal surplus, Néstor Kirchner governed and in 2008, who is talking to you?”
