The marches in different parts of the country on Monday, August 17, against the extension of the quarantine and the judicial reform, received harsh criticism from the government but now adds a new chapter. The deputy of Together for Change, Fernando Iglesias, published on social networks a video from 2013 in which Alberto Fernández endorses a demonstration in opposition to the "democratization of Justice" proposed by former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and claimed to have participated in the march.
"Excellent, @alferdez here. Don't miss out," Iglesias remarked from his Twitter account, where he posted a video in which there is a two-minute and 19-second cut from the channel's "Fair Game" programTN on that march of April 18, 2013, better known as 18A.
With images of the march and Alberto Fernández as a guest in the study, the journalist Nelson Castro asked the now President if he had participated in the call. "I spent a little while. I saw a lot of anger, a lot of indignation. Reasonable indignation of the people in this case. What the President has done with the judicial issue is of immeasurable gravity," Alberto Fernández remarked.

- Fernando A. Iglesias (@FerIglesias) August 22, 2020"It seems to me that it is very reasonable for people to react like this , what has happened, what is happening is very serious. The President is telling this crowd that does not listen to them, that she is going to continue governing for the other half and The only thing it does is keep dividing, "continued Fernández on the television set, who said on Monday's march:" Those who scream are not going to subdue us. "
In 2013, Fernández argued like this about the judicial reform of Kirchnerism for that year: "This story that the president proposes the truth makes me very angry, it hurts me a lot, because it hurts intelligence and hurts the credibility and trust of many who trusted her. It seems to me that you have to take account of this. It is of enormous magnitude. "
But it did not end there. In the interview, Alberto Fernández stated: "Thank God that the people react, and I would like the senators who voted for this to really start apologizing, and for people not to forget their names, just to not trust them with the public matter. I tell those who are in the Front for Victory that they should be ashamed of what they are voting for. When the judges are all Oyarbides, what are we going to say? What is happening is extremely serious. "

"We cannot fall into the verticality of this madness. The president thinks that bad things done by her are good. Well, president, she is lying to us and I want her not to lie to us anymore. I want people to listen to me and realize it. ", Alberto Fernández concluded in that interview
This week, after the 17A march, the President announced the sending of the Budget and launched: "We are going to present a budget that we are not going to modify ten days later, because it is a realistic budget. Not setting false objectives as happened in recent years. We are going to speak with the truth, to move with the truth and leave the lie to those who only know how to scream. "
