As soon as Alberto Fernández's speech before the Legislative Assembly ended, in which he questioned in harsh terms the management of Mauricio Macri and a sector of the opposition, legislators from Together for Change came out to respond with strong criticism of the President: they considered that It was about a
"flat message"
and that at the end it gave a
"brutal attack"
to Justice.
The heads of the bloc and parliamentary authorities of the opposition organized a press conference in the Hall of Lost Steps, at the same time that the replies on social networks accumulated.
“It has been a flat message, full of uncertainty,
low-flying and without any future
.
He came to be applauded by announcing a criminal complaint for the indebtedness against President Macri.
He will have recalled that 250 billion dollars were taken by the person who was next to him and the previous governments, ”said Mario Negri, head of the joint block of Together for the Change in Deputies
.
“His final message was of a brutal attack on Justice.
We have a bitter taste and I think society has added more mistrust, "added the radical.
After listening to his speech, I can't keep quiet.
It was almost two hours of accusations on the one hand, and of images that draw the reality of a country that is not ours, on the other.
Reread your speech, President.
I should make a mea culpa sometime.

For her part, Patricia Bullrich made a video that she made known on her social networks in which she spoke directly to President Fernández.
"The banners were the product of the longest, most useless and brutal quarantine. Freedom was conditional. Jobs and businesses destroyed and education lost. That's why we left, for the Republic," he began.
In addition, he said that the VIP vaccination "
is not a mistake, it is an immorality of his party
."
"The foundations of the collapsed country speak more about you and the years of your governments than about us. You have instructed the authorities to persecute our government, it sounds Soviet. The division of powers? Good thanks," he continued.
And he continued: "On the margins of the republican system is your government, it wants to make the causes of corruption disappear. If you are concerned if the defendants are still there as if nothing else, look to your left. President, the women and men of the federal forces They never felt more protected than in our government, it is in the light ".
Finally, he assured that "
the hatred that his words distil
are the result of the mistrust that he has generated in the population and society, and that he has locked up their hope. That is why his speech deepens the crack. I deeply regret it."
“It seems that it speaks to a sector and not to society
.
It does not say that less drugs are seized, that we spent a year without classes, what vaccines are going to arrive, ”said Cristian Ritondo, head of the PRO bench in the Lower House.
“Today we saw that in the Legislative Assembly there were more officials than deputies.
Opposition deputies were prohibited from being present
under the pretext of protocol and they filled the galleries, ”he complained about the restrictions to witness the opening of the 139th period of ordinary sessions.
“We are facing an
overactive President
, at times strident, at times off, who reads like a judicial reporter.
He's out of temper.
A President without power that
not even his Vice applauds,
”said Juan Manuel López, president of the Civic Coalition bloc.
During several sections of his speech, Alberto Fernández pointed to Macri's management and to a sector of the opposition.
From the outset, it referred to the debt left by the Cambiemos government and later announced the filing of a
criminal complaint for alleged fraudulent administration
and embezzlement of public funds.
In turn, he highlighted the increase in unemployment, poverty and destitution, spoke of a "broken health system that allowed vaccines to expire" and also alluded to the former president when referring to "those who claimed to take care of profitability" over health .
"I did not get to the Presidency to let myself be stunned by
malicious criticisms that respond to the unspeakable interests
of concentrated economic powers, which seek to sow fracture, polarization and discord," he warned.
Some opposition legislators, especially Fernando Iglesias and Waldo Wolff, replicated the criticism at the time, in full room.
"He had four years to speak,
" Alberto Fernández told Iglesias.
“The President lost the possibility of calling for national unity in this difficult moment, he gave a
denial of his mistakes
, loaded with political chicanes and without any self-criticism.
It was the speech of a gossip panelist, "said Alfredo Cornejo, head of the UCR.
“Luckily he came to unite the Argentines. A discourse loaded with violence, polarization, victimization, Chicanas and zero self-criticism.
If you are going to initiate a complaint, do not forget the 2003/2015 period
, which was scandalous and systematically defrauded by the State, "replied Maximiliano Ferraro, president of the Civic Coalition. “He insists on the advancement of the Executive Power over the Judicial Power. The reform aims to chain the judges to official interests, ”Ritondo tweeted. "The idea of creating a Federal Court of Guarantees that deals with arbitrary remedies only
aims to weaken the Supreme Court
and further lengthen the already long duration of the trials that the President criticized," said Pablo Tonelli, a PRO deputy and counselor of the Magistrature - on one of the announcements in this matter.
