After the mediation between President Alberto Fernández and the head of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, was left without an agreement between the parties, and now the president will sue her for defamations in civil justice, the opposition leader said that it is "

nonsense

."

"It seems to me

a total and absolute nonsense

what the President does, because when one is in public office one has to be able to accept the looks of others, the criticisms of others," he said in statements to the

TN

channel

.

Said mediation was scheduled to avoid the announced

civil lawsuit for damages

after Bullrich's statements about alleged corruption in the failed negotiations with the Pfizer laboratory for the purchase of vaccines.

Bullrich said that "the one who has to give explanations is always the authority."

"They accused me of much more serious things,

of having made a person disappear.

I never made a trial, because I think my responsibility was to get to the truth," he shot, in obvious reference to the case of Santiago Maldonado.

He assured that in the case of Pfizer "we are reaching the truth that the vaccines are

not

there

because they did not want them to be."

"That truth cannot be sustained in the public debate. So, they go to a mediation

so that it is confidential

, that nothing is known. So that everyone else is silent," analyzed the former Minister of Security of the government of Mauricio Macri.

"They are

not going to close me down

because I think it is very important that the Government always give an account of its actions," he concluded.

"This is not the right time for a fight."

Regarding the fights and interns in Together for Change, Bullrich said that the friction over charges

must end

. 

"This debate over the inmates has to end. We cannot be arguing over charges. We have to open up the social hope that there is a political force capable of

to govern Argentina in another way, with democracy, republic, freedom, production and work ", he declared, while he said that"

we cannot enter this '

carguismo

'

"

She assured that as president of the PRO she will

convene a meeting with all the members

, mainly in the capital and province of Buenos Aires, "to reach an agreement and be the exemplar of what politics has to be."

"I believe that today, our speech

is to society, it is not to us

. One cannot play the semifinal before the quarterfinals," he analyzed.

Referring to Elisa Carrió's complaint that the opposition's internal opposition is not being resolved in the best way, she said that

"she is right to be angry

.

"

"It seems to me that

it is not an opportune moment for a fight

, to appear as that we care about the position and not the society", estimated Bullrich.

He also analyzed that "the important thing is to understand what place in history we want to play."

"Some of us who form Together for Change will arrive, in two years and if we continue along this path of representation of society, to the Rivadavia chair. But this is not the time to discuss it," he said.

Bullrich also assured that

the intern is a good tool,

but it is not now, at a time of deep anguish in society.

"We cannot add to it the anguish that we are not capable of reaching an agreement between leaders, that

we are all under the same umbrella

and we all have the same ideas," he concluded.
