True to his style, the former vice president candidate for Together for Change, Miguel Pichetto, went out to cross the PJ leaders who asked to expel him from the party and called the request a "stanilist practice" and a "dodge".

The former senator who "for nothing" feels "traitor" to the Justicialist Party and dismissed the decision of the leadership of Río Negro to throw it out of space. "They are dumb that delay a lot of years" and imply "Stalinist practices of purges to try to give exemplarity."

In a dialogue with Continental radio, the rionegrino said that what happened at the PJ Congress, where the process of replacing the authorities began in the middle of a unit request, and also the Rio Negro party headline, Martin Soria, announced the decision to expel the former senator.

"Two or three years ago I left the party: I am expelled from a place I had already left ; it is not significant," said Pichetto, adding: "They do this kind of thing when I left, because in 2015 practically I left the place to younger people. "

For Pichetto it is "Stalinist practices of purges to try to give exemplarity, and those dives are delayed a lot of years." At the same time, he said he does not intend to "live in the political space" of the PJ.

"I lived all my life in Peronism and I understood that it is a process that was completed, that a more modern, central, federal party had to be built," Pichetto said, and regretted that "Federal Alternative is a space that was dynamited."

Finally, he said: "I don't feel traitor at all; that is a stupid, old concept, and the word 'traitor' lacks intelligence on the part of the one who issues it."

"The church that smokes abortion"

The former senator was also blunt in referring to the abortion debate and criticized the Church because he "supported" supported the Front for Victoria.

"The Argentine Church has a wrong vision. I want to return to Argentina from an ascending scheme, that of the father who made the son study and have a future; not that of the little planes and the band-aids in the village making empanadas. Argentina is that of decay, "he launched.

"They deserve the treatment of the abortion law because the Church played with the Front of All. Now that they smoke the abortion," he said.
