Amado Boudou
participated this Monday in a seminar organized by the University of Buenos Aires, from the Faculty of Social Sciences, in which he referred to lawfare, the theory that promotes Kirchnerism on the alleged persecution of officials by the Judicial Power.
The former vice president, convicted of corruption, began by asking himself: "What are we talking about when we talk about lawfare?
" It is a device of social control, we are talking about conditional democracy
,
"he
reflected. And he added:" It is not a conspiracy of newspapers and judges. It is a disciplinary device. "
"
What was the point of taking me out at six o'clock in the morning with a vest and a helmet
. They would have called me on the phone and I was going quietly where they indicated me. I went without arguing for a second, being Vice President of the Nation. What was the point of doing that That is the lawfare, the spectacle punishment, the gloomy punitive party, "said
Boudou about the moment he was arrested for the first time, on November 3, 2017,
when he had already left his position as vice president.
He recalled his stage prior to being arrested and
pointed against Judge Pablo Bertuzzi
, whom he accused of promoting "spectacle punishment" when he forced him to participate in the hearings in the trial against him by Ciccone and ordered his arrest. "He
charged for what he did, for walking helmets and vests, he charged with the position of federal chambermaid. They had been working at the famous Macri judicial table," he said
in reference to the appointment of Bertuzzi as judge of the Federal Court of Appeals.
Boudou made critical references to the opposition
, in what appeared to be a direct reference to the government of the City of Buenos Aires.
"
To those who care so much about education, they discontinued the delivery of netbooks for our boys and girls," he said
, mixing the discussion about face-to-face classes in the talk, which had lawfare as its central axis and in which
his lawyer also participated. , Graciana Peñafort
.
Every time there is an election and they lose because of the popular will, the phrase "we are going to prosecute it" arises from the political system itself, he argued in questioning different complaints against him and other officials of Kirchnerism arising from opposition leaders.
"Legal warfare and fake news"
. This is the name of the
seminar in which the former vice president
, special guest of the event,
spoke
, which was broadcast on YouTube and organized by the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires.
This is the workshop that began last March 15 and is entitled "Argentine journalism in its labyrinth: media and legal warfare, political operations, fake news and other delights of independence."
Boudou, as before the jurist Eugenio Zaffaroni and the head of the AFI, Cristina Caamaño, was invited to talk about the theory of lawfare
, which promotes Kirchnerism, because he is considered by the organizers as one of the leaders who "suffered and suffers the legal and media persecution in their own flesh ".
The former vice president
has a firm conviction against him for corruption in the case of the former chalcographic Ciccone, for five years and ten months
in jail. Even having his house arrest revoked, Boudou remains at his home, a house he rents in Avellaneda. The ruling of the Criminal Enforcement Justice, arising from the Ricardo Basilico court, must be validated by the Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber. Until then, the former Minister of Economy will be able to maintain home confinement.
The talk was coordinated by professors Gustavo Bulla and Daniel Rosso, who spoke with Boudou starting at 2.30 p.m., in a meeting that was transmitted by YouTube and via Zoom to students of the degree, which depends on the
Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA
.

"The undersigned, students, graduates, professors and former professors of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), we deeply regret that one of the Faculties that make up our prestigious University offers its platform to a person who has been convicted of bribery crimes. and negotiations incompatible with the public function in all instances until reaching the Supreme Court of the Nation itself, a sentence of five years and ten months in prison, "began the Open Letter, which added thousands of adherents. In parallel, via Change, almost 54,000 people signed that "Boudou is not allowed to be a professor at the UBA".
