After Cristina Kirchner's fiery statement in the case for the future dollar, where she accused the Judiciary of being "a rotten and perverse system," the Senate bloc Frente de Todos issued a statement to express its support for the vice president.
"We express
our strong repudiation of the actions of a sector of justice
and the hegemonic media that, in an articulated manner, continue to carry out a reprehensible judicial and media persecution against our political space in general and against the Vice President of the Nation in particular. , they expressed in the brief.
In addition, they maintain that the fact that the vice, along with Governor Axel Kicillof, have not been dismissed from the accusation for fraudulent administration "constitutes a true legal aberration."
They argue that the presentation made by Federico Pinedo and Mario Negri, in 2015, for future contract operations
"is an absolute falsehood
,
"
which is stated in the investigation.
And they assure that "
those who benefited from the operations of the future dollar
were the friends and former officials of former President Macri and the companies linked to his family, after the abrupt devaluation that they themselves decided and implemented."
Governor Axel Kicillof also spoke from La Plata about the future dollar cause.

The letter bears the signature of all the members of the ruling bloc in the Upper House, chaired by José Mayans.
And he also mentions
the theory of "lawfare",
one of the arguments that the former president also used in her statement.
Finally, they argue that "it
is inadmissible for judicial officials to use their positions
to transfer the political debate in our country to the Courts."
"
If they want to participate in politics, they should resign their positions in the Judiciary
and submit to the popular vote, just as we do," the statement concludes.
Last Thursday, via Zoom, Cristina Kirchner made her defense for almost an hour where she accused the Judiciary of being
"a rotten and perverse system"
, spoke of "lawfare", pointed against Mauricio Macri and the media.
In line with the former president, the governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, also pointed out against the "deaf, blind, mute and partisan justice".
The words of the vice president with the judges and prosecutors of the nation generated rejection.
The Latin American Federation of Prosecutors repudiated the words and expressed concern over the claim to "undermine judicial independence."
While from the Civil Association Usina de Justicia questioned the "evidence of the
constant persecution of independent
and honest officials who have intervened in cases where state corruption is investigated."
