Juan Manzur expressed the Government's rejection of “the acts of violence that affected Cristina Fernández de Kirchner”

At the beginning of the Senate committee debate on the bill that authorizes debt refinancing with the IMF, the Chief of Staff, Juan Manzur, expressed the national government's rejection of the incidents and the attack with stones on the National Congress building that impacted the office of Vice President Cristina Kirchner.

“I want to express my deep concern and utter rejection of the acts of violence that took place right here last Monday, in this Honorable Senate of the Nation, which have directly affected the Vice President of the Nation, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner,” said the official, who came to the debate with the economic equipment and other Cabinet officials to the Committee on Budget and Finance.

Juan Manzur stressed that “violence in no way or in any kind can be accepted as a mode of action when in Argentina we live and breathe a rich democracy, which allows the widest and most in-depth discussion of each of the initiatives on each of the existing political spaces.” “On behalf of the national government, I would like to express our profound rejection of all violence such as that which occurred here last Monday,” concluded the mention of the events that took place last week.

The Chief of Staff's statement comes amid claims from Kirchnerism over the alleged lack of commitment to condemning what happened in front of Congress last week. The fact is that, for the leaders aligned with La Campora, the attack was directed at the head of state and, in fact, that was the interpretation that the vice-president herself put forward in the two videos she posted on her social networks in recent days.

One of the most emphatic in adhering to that idea and who publicly raised his criticism of the Casa Rosada was one of the most important camporo leaders and who holds a key position in the government of Axel Kicillof. Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque, who at the weekend publicly complained about the lack of a public condemnation by the President of the incidents in the office of the Vice President, has now accused the sector of the Frente de Todos led by Alberto Fernández of attempting to ban Kirchnerism.

“We are experiencing a time of dangerous self-prohibition of a sector of the force. Here a Kirchnerist thinks and it is a drama, unity is broken. When someone close to the President says any nonsense nothing happens and if there is not the machine gun of the permanent off that we don't pay for,” he said today in a newspaper interview.
