The ruling party joined this Tuesday to criticize the ruling of the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the City through face-to-face classes.
Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner expressed themselves in this line.
However, a
tweet from the current President
quickly went viral
who, in other times, targeted his current vice
president
for his stance against the highest court.
"If CFK does not understand why the Court is a 'counter-power' we should
find out who approved it in Constitutional Law
. Enough of sophistry!", Alberto Fernández wrote on June 11, 2013, in the middle of Cristina's second presidential term.
These were days when the ex-president
openly confronted the Judiciary.
And he even presented in Congress the project "Program for the Democratization of Justice", a controversial Kirchner reform, passed into law in April of that year.
The old tweet by Alberto Fernández criticizing Cristina Kirchner for the Supreme Court.
Fernández, then estranged and critical of Kirchnerism, reacted like this 24 hours after
a fiery
public
speech
by Cristina.
"When someone raises the Judiciary as a counter-power within the institutions, as a counter-power to what?
Counter-power of the people?"
asked the former president, then in full mandate.
And he sentenced: "He who thinks himself as a counter-power from the Judicial Power seems to me to be a
delegate of other powers
that we do not know but we imagine what they are."
The speech, like all his, was recorded on the CFKArgentina personal page, under the title "I want to raise the independence of the Executive Power from the
great concentrated powers from outside and inside."
Look @CFKArgentina, your elected president @alferdez explains it perfectly.
The Supreme Court is a counter-power.
Whether you like it or not, it is not a blow to democratic institutions but a brake on authoritarian attempts!

Fernández's old tweet had a
second life
this Tuesday, after both he and Cristina repudiated the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the amparo presented by the City before the DNU that suspended face-to-face classes.
The notorious change was in the current president's gaze, which has accumulated contradictory twists since he accepted the official candidacy.
One of those who remembered the message was
Luis Petri
, national deputy of Together for Change.
"Look @CFKArgentina, your elected president @alferdez
explains it perfectly
. The Supreme Court is a counter-power.
Whether
you
like it or not, it is not a blow to democratic institutions but a brake on authoritarian attempts!" legislator on his Twitter account.

Alberto and Cristina, this Tuesday
A few hours earlier, Cristina had been lapidary with the highest court.
"Honestly, it is very clear that the
blows against the democratic institutions
elected by the popular vote are no longer like they used to be," said the vice president on her social networks.
"Given this scenario, I say ... in order to govern, would it not be better to appear to compete for a position of Judge to the Council of the Magistracy or for a President to propose you for Minister of the Court?" Cristina asked.
Similar was the pronouncement of Alberto Fernández.
"I am a man who vindicates the rule of law, they do not know what saddens me to see the
decrepitude of the Law
converted into sentences," said the President.
"Nothing that we do we do to make life difficult for anyone. We do it to preserve the health and lives of our people and, against that, they dictate the sentences they want,
we are going to do what we must,
" added the maximum leader.
