The leader of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió, spoke about the judicial situation of former vice president Amado Boudou and said her strategy is through extortion: "

Ask for a political solution or else speak

."

Carrió spoke after a request from the toughest sectors of Kirchnerism was published in which they came out to ask for the "freedom of Amado Boudou", who was sentenced to five years and ten months for the Ciccone case, and what they called "the political prisoners ".

The former deputy of the nation was consulted about Alberto Fernández's criticism of the Court and the defense of the former vice president: "There is an extortion by Boudou, who asks for a political solution or else he speaks," she began in an interview with the newspaper The nation.

"

They know that they have only eight months left for impunity.

Because they know that they are going to lose the elections, that is why they put all the resources in the province of Buenos Aires, to be able to win and consecrate an impunity that is temporary,

because finally they will be convicted and they are already being convicted, they are in a hopeless and hopeless game,

"he added.

His statements come after a request was published that was released in official media and was replicated on social networks by Kirchner leaders in which the freedom of Boudou is requested.

The request brought together the signature of renowned Latin American politicians, Alberto Fernández government officials, national deputies, trade unionists, and representatives of journalism and the entertainment world who align themselves with the ruling party.

In addition, it was signed by two prisoners for corruption, the former Minister of Planning

Julio De Vido

and the former Minister of Transportation

Ricardo Jaim

Hebe de Bonafin

i, the former judge of the Court

Eugenio Zaffaroni

and the trade unionist

Pablo Moyano

.

"The political persecution against militants and leaders of the Kirchnerist experience persists in Argentina despite the popular victory in the last elections. We are in the presence of a war that is unfolding through judicial measures, news fabrication that manipulates public opinion and the attempt to create a climate of hatred and intolerance in the population, "says the request signed by, among others, the Brazilian

Lula Da Silva

and the Ecuadorian

Rafael Correa
