The leader of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió, along with the head of the block of deputies of that party, Maximiliano Ferraro, denounced "a clear blow" and "an outrage to the Judiciary" by Vice President Cristina Kirchner, from a series of issues installed in recent weeks such as the existence of "political prisoners", the theory of lawfare, the intervention of Jujuy or changes in the witness program.
"We are facing a clear blow and an outrage to the Judiciary to guarantee impunity, which confirms that Cristina Kirchner goes for everything, " they said in a statement.

Carrió and Ferraro argued that in the ruling party "they talk about political prisoners, instead of about politicians imprisoned for crimes of corruption; of lawfare; of eliminating pretrial detention for corruption cases; they destroy the witness protection program; they try to intervene the Judicial Power of Jujuy ... ".
In a surprising reading, the referents of the Civic Coalition had a separate paragraph regarding the president Alberto Fernández. “ When you go for everything, you go even for the President, ” said Carrió.
“The actions of the Vice President erode the institutional figure of the President so that he is hurt in his authority. This aggravates and weakens negotiations on fundamental issues about the future of Argentina, ”they considered.
Regarding the steps to follow, Carrió and Ferraro indicated that "the ARI Civic Coalition will be in Congress to denounce before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights intimidation of protected witnesses, and to warn these blows before the appropriate international organizations, so that don't win impunity. "
