True to a style that is prevailing on social networks, where even politicians wage unprecedented virtual battles, with insults and threats, the designated ambassador to Moscow, Alicia Castro attacked Foreign Minister Felipe Solá on Thursday. The serious thing is that Solá would come to be the head of the former union member of the Stewardesses guild.
Castro, who was Cristina Kirchner's ambassador in Venezuela and the United Kingdom, attacked Solá now for some radio declarations she made and in which she considered the Nicolás Maduro regime "authoritarian".
" The government is of legitimate origin, it has a quasi-warlike relationship with the tough opposition ... And at the same time, Venezuela is terribly hit by the price of oil and by the amount of sanctions and blockades it has, " Solá told Radio La Network. "There is a great facility to put political prisoners," said the chancellor. "Then they tend to be released, although not always. The government is authoritarian, without a doubt, ”added Solá, who this Thursday was celebrating her birthday in quarantine.
Then Castro came to the scene on Twitter. "After @alferdez's clarifications, it is striking that the Foreign Minister continues to pound against Venezuela. It would be appropriate for him to express himself against the ban and condemnation of Correa in Ecuador, the de facto Bolivian government that postpones elections, the situation in Chile and Brazil " Castro was a close friend of the late former President Hugo Chávez.
Castro uses his networks to openly express his ideas, with the support of today's Vice President Cristina Kirchner, his political godmother. Last week he attacked the President of the Deputies, Sergio Massa, who openly considered that Venezuela was a dictatorship.
It was after President Alberto Fernández condemned the Maduro regime through its ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva. Federico Villegas Beltrán not only welcomed the harsh report on human rights violations in Venezuela that was presented by the agency's High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Chilean, Michelle Bachelet. He also called for "free" and "transparent" elections, which is not the case in Venezuela.
But with the passing of the hours the President received pressure from the hardest sectors of Kirchnerism, among them Victor Hugo Morales. Unexpectedly, Fernández went on to say that he had not changed his position on Venezuela and that he maintained differences with the United States on the Caribbean country. Hebe de Bonafini also came out because of a meeting by Alberto F. with businessmen.
A member of the Government consulted by Clarín , who did not want to identify himself, was lapidary and even referred to the subject with humor. "Alicia Castro does not represent anyone. She has nothing, or nothing more than the Kavanagh," he said, referring to the luxurious apartment that the former leader of the Azafatas guild owns in the Retiro neighborhood.
Castro was named ambassador to Moscow by Fernández, almost parallel to Ricardo Alfonsín , as ambassador to Madrid. Both met with the president before the beginning of the quarantine, but the statement confirming them as political ambassadors for the government has not yet been addressed.
Castro's confirmation would be in doubt, but not closed. They claim that she is upset because she made a condition for going to Moscow: that an architect remodel the Argentine diplomatic residence in the Russian capital. He wants an elevator installed to take him up to the first floor. But they have already told you that this is very difficult, for budgetary reasons and because it is a building from 1800, and it will be very difficult for them to authorize the remodeling. Meanwhile, Ambassador Ricardo Lagorio breathes relief because that will delay his return.
