Alberto Fernández

joined this Tuesday in the praise that Vice President Cristina Kirchner and other referents of the ruling party made on the figure of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, and even called him

"Juan Domingo Biden"

to associate the policies of his government with the management premises of Juan Domingo Perón.

"I remember when not long ago the covers of Argentine newspapers celebrated that Amazon did not allow its workers to unionize and

yesterday 'Juan Domingo Biden' called unionization as a way to promote social rights

in the United States," he said the first president when leading an act in the Ezeiza party.

He raised it after pondering the role of Peronism in Argentina.

"We formed a social movement that was born into political life demanding the freedom of a colonel, the people's colonel, who from the Ministry of Labor and Welfare began to give rights to those who worked," he recalled.

And he added that "Argentine society never forgot him" because, he reviewed, "there they learned about the Christmas bonus, paid vacations and the right to unionize."

In another section of his speech, President Fernández remarked that his government "does not tremble to say 'let's buy national production" and he again compared his policies with those of the current US government: "

Now you heard him tell Biden that

".

In this way, the President also highlighted Biden's words before the United States Congress.

"And yesterday also, or the day before yesterday, I do not remember, in his inauguration speech, a formidable speech, he called to take care of the pandemic," he said.

President Fernández added that Biden also

"called for promoting the largest employment program in the history of the United States

. And how do they do it? With more resources but in the same way as us, promoting public works."

"When we doubled the budget for public works this year, we did so thinking about how many jobs could be created and how much that public works could drive the rest of the economy," he said.

Fernández joined in the praise that Cristina Kirchner made the day before, who spread an extensive thread of messages through her Twitter account to replicate sections of Biden's speech before the US Congress.

Among the paragraphs of Biden's speech, Cristina Kirchner highlighted the one that said: "Good guys and women on Wall Street, but Wall Street didn't build this country. The middle class built the country and the unions built the middle class. That's why I ask you Congress to approve the Law to protect the right to organize (?) ".

And as a closing he put "PLOP!".

He also highlighted the announcement of the proposed "American Jobs Plan, a unique investment in a generation in the United States itself. This is the largest employment plan since World War II," according to the US president.

Recently, the national deputy and former head of the national Justicialista Party (PJ) José Luis Gioja was another of those who highlighted the figure of Biden.

"He is more Peronist than me," said the former governor.

Senator Oscar Parrilli even came to compare the president of the United States with the late former president Néstor Kirchner.

He did so by praising the public works plan launched by the US government to overcome the crisis that the coronavirus pandemic installed.

"And what does Biden say? What is this plan going to be for? American workers, American companies and American supplies. It really reminds me of Nestor Kirchner from 2003," the senator compared.
