Three days after announcing to the Legislative Assembly that next week the Executive will send to Congress a project to legalize abortion, the President once again elaborated on the voluntary termination of pregnancy.
"There is a lack of rights that we began to treat on Sunday, which break with inequalities that women suffer today ," said the President. The head of state did not mention the word abortion during his speech. Neither, it was necessary.
"I feel that I had the privilege of being the President at the moment when everything is happening. It is a decision of everyone, everyone and everyone. I ask you not to give in, not to stop. There is a lot left," he said.
The framework was the imposing blue whale of the CCK, full of officials and feminist militants who attended the inauguration of " We move the world ", in which political leaders discussed the strategies and tensions of feminisms in the governments of the region .
"If we continue like this in four years we will end the inequality definitively in Argentina, I ask you to keep claiming, I ask you to continue on the streets, I ask you to do so knowing that there is a government that will protect the rights of all, all and all ", Fernández was enthusiastic at the end of his speech.
When he took the stage, where he was accompanied by the host, the Minister of Culture Tristán Bauer , and by the organizer of the event, the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta ; the president took an atypical ovation, which has become customary.
"President, Alberto President!", The feminist militants who covered the auditorium cheered, many of whom wore scarves and green dresses in favor of legalization. The head of state was drawn a smile, while contemplating the symphony hall. Although it is not the first time the song resonates, it has never been heard so clearly in an official act.
In the front row the chief of staff Santiago Cafiero applauded the president; Buenos Aires deputy governor, Verónica Magario; Stele of Carlotto; the interior ministers, Wado de Pedro; Education, Nicolás Trotta; of Health Ginés González García; the Legal and Technical Secretary of the Executive Branch, Vilma Ibarra - the last two, pillars of the drafting of the official project on the legal interruption of pregnancy - the presidential advisor Dora Barrancos and the mayor of Quilmes, Mayra Mendoza.
Alberto Fernández, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta and Tristán Bauer on the spot for women's week.
During his speech, Fernández highlighted the work of Ibarra, whom he defined as his "teacher" in gender issues after recalling his authorship in the project of equal marriage. The activities will continue throughout the week in the prelude to the International Day of Working Women, on March 8.
In the same context, Fernández will re -open the Women's Hall of the Casa Rosada on Friday, which during the administration of Mauricio Macri had been converted into an office space. Cristina Kirchner, mentioned in several passages by Bauer and Alcorta, was invited to that event. It would be the first time I returned to the Government House since December 10. So far, no one is encouraged to confirm the presence of the vice president.
The CCK was the second activity of the day that the President dedicated to an act in the week prior to that of Women's Day, in which the project of legalization of abortion will also come to Congress. In the morning, the president had attended the General Union of the Nation to participate in the panel " Argentine women in government ." (Inequality) is not a simple thing that is resolved by law. It is a culture that must be changed, it is a preaching of years, they are entrenched customs, ”he said.
