Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner denounced from Cuba she was the victim of a " lawfare with mafia components " because she faced a "judicial persecution against political opponents" in which they also went for their "children and fundamentally for Florence ."
"The lawfare that is being increasingly understood by societies today, in Latin America had a very special chapter and in Argentina even more special because that lawfare, that persecute the political opponents of a government from the judicial apparatus, acquired an additional characteristic. Because we all know about Lula, about Rafael Correa, but in Argentina the lawfare had a mafia component, going against families too. The mafias also point against families, "he said.
He added: "The mafia component of lawfare in Argentina translated into persecution of my children, but fundamentally to Florence, perhaps, because they saw her vulnerable; perhaps, because they warned that it was a very special place for me."
The vice president made these statements by presenting her book " Sincerely " at the 29th International Book Fair in Havana, as part of the new trip she took on Thursday to Cuba to visit her daughter Florencia.
The vice president made the first presentation of her book at the Book Fair in the city of Buenos Aires, and then did the same in La Matanza, La Plata, Mar del Plata and Malvinas Argentinas (Buenos Aires); Mendoza; Santiago del Estero; Chaco; Missions; El Calafate and Río Gallegos (Santa Cruz); and Rosario (Santa Fe).
The former head of state will not be the only Argentine leader to participate in the Cuban fair: the general secretary of the Building Workers (Suterh) union and head of the Buenos Aires PJ, Víctor Santa María , will present his book 'Evita, that woman' , next Tuesday 10.
The October group will also be present at the cultural event held at the Fortress of San Carlos de La Cabaña, in Havana, in which more than 300 foreign guests will participate among book professionals, editors, translators, booksellers and exhibitors.
Argentina will have an editorial stand coordinated by the bookseller Rubén Bisceglia, owner of the Librería de la Paz.
The October group will present at the Havana Fair three books: "That man", by María Seoane and Gisela Marziotta; "That woman", by Víctor Santa María and Seoane, and "The days were like this", by Hugo Soriani, general director of Página / 12, he reported.
The 29th International Book Fair in Havana - which will be held from Thursday to Sunday 16 - will be invited to Vietnam, which will arrive in the Cuban capital with a delegation of writers, publishers and artists.
